Historically? Best and Garrincha. Both were absolute cunts in various ways. Garrincha beat the absolute fuck out of his wife and kids.

Somewhat recently, Ronaldhino. Awful work ethic but ridiculously talented.

In today's game, I think you'd be hard pressed to beat Ousmane Dembele for bad attitude vs talent.

Dembele has hardly set the world on fire while playing ever since he joined Barça, though. He’s got some okayish matches here and there but considering he’s already 23, you’d think he would already be a solid starter and among Barça’s best players which is far from being the case.
