The name "spice boys" was applied to underachieving "playboy" types on the Liverpool Football team in the 1990's.

The usual players given the uncomplimentary tag were Jamie Redknapp, David James, Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Stan Collymore and Jason McAteer.

However, by association the term was sometimes applied to other players such as Neil Ruddock, Phil Babb, Rob Jones, Paul Ince and Jamie Carragher.

The name "spice boy" has been applied generically to football players who demonstrate one or more of the perceived faults of these players.
