Brighton Players/Managers to Have Quickly Gained CULT HERO Status

[Mendoza]

Who has captured the hearts of the Brighton fans and achieved this status in a short space of time and who has done it in the quickest time?

I'll start with

Two months and twelve days for a certain ginger Irishman.

 

[Norman Potting]

It is a disgrace that the Football Genius hasn't made an appearance on this thread yet.

 

[Jack Hackett]

Didn't Tony Rougier become something of a cult hero in his time here? Will never forget him in the game at Ipswich away when we won 2-1 where apart from scoring both goals he did nothing else but repeatedly catch the ball!

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Lloyd OWUSU.

OOO OOO OOO

Yupp. Rasing the roof at Hudders is the one of my ultimate Brighton memories.

It took him a while to be acknowledged by the fans and get his own t-shirt

 

[The Goon]

Gus Poyet?

Doug Loft

 

[Barrow Boy]

Paul 'The Tank' Clark after his first tackle on his debut at the Goldstone.
North Stand started singing "Clark is eeeevil, Clark is eeeevil"

 

[Barrel of Fun]

In the grander scheme of things, Rocket Salad gained notoriety in a relatively short space of time.

His end of season efforts should never be forgotten.

 

[Norman Potting]

No its not. Read the original question.

Ok - can I start a "Players who were originally considered to be a waste of space but after a while soon found their way into the hearts and minds of the fans, probably when the manager realised he was playing them in the wrong position" thread?

Absolutely

I'll nominate Guy Butters for your new thread.

Tony Rougier

I never really understood why La la la Rougier ever got to cult status. He was a bit shit and did nothing to turn around that relegation season.
