Leeds fans have been lashing out at a former Irish international on Twitter

Noel Hunt is currently without a club, but we doubt he'll be returning to Leeds United.

The former Republic of Ireland striker has come in for heavy criticism from some Leeds fans after wishing Lewis Cook well on his move from the Championship side to Bournemouth for £6m. https://twitter.com/boyhunt/status/751525465903534080 Cook had been with Leeds since he was a child, and is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in English football, so it's no wonder fans of the long-suffering club aren't happy to lose the 19-year-old.

@boyhunt @lewiscook_ @afcbournemouth "great step"....is that how little Leeds Utd is thought of in 2016 Noel?!

Many took their frustrations out on the former Ireland striker. Hunt failed to score in his 20 appearances for the Elland Road club, and the fans were quick to remind him. https://twitter.com/boyhunt/status/751687970801975296 https://twitter.com/boyhunt/status/751725797438853120 https://twitter.com/mick_lufc/status/751730495743004672 https://twitter.com/Shauno_P_1987/status/751731654859886592 https://twitter.com/AWOLeeds/status/751728127777370112 Hunt didn't back down, and made a number of valid points. https://twitter.com/boyhunt/status/751688880513056768

@boyhunt they've almost been as unsuccessful as you! — Dale Catterall (@dalecatt11) July 9, 2016
