[Albion] Who are our BHA cult heroes?

[Icy Gull]

Schelotto has all the makings... too soon for him?
Hans Kraay, John Crumplin are shoe-ins.
Eric Young for me of course.. was better than he looked 'coz he looked like Bambi on ice and always losing his contact lens.
Frank Worthington - for me takes the Paddy McCourt role others have suggested.. but Vicente maybe tops even Frank.
Codner in with a shout? Left back, a toss-up for me between Chris Hutchings and Keith Dublin.. CH has more of the off-field stuff I think.. wasn't he due in court when we signed him?

Great choices! I may even add Justin Fashanu too though

The player is meant to be shite he was good.

Maybe but are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that he is not a cult figure to Brighton fans

Matt le Tissier

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sir Anthony Rougier. Only played half a dozen games for us at the tail end of 2002-03 but provided some rare flair in that dismal season, charging forward like a crazed rhino gone wrong and scoring twice with assorted body parts. A committed Christian, Sir Anthony featured on an Argus cut-out-and-keep prayer mat in an unsurprisingly unsuccessful attempt to stave off relegation.

 

[Two Professors]

O'Gravy

 

[Dick Head]

Florin Andone.

Edit: Oh, cult, I thought you said something else

 

[Joey'The Bull'Gambino]

Peter Ward because he was at the Goldstone when I was going there.I think the strongest mythical characters that we remember are those from our youth.

 

[A1X]

Suggestion for a more recent one...

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

 

[cardboard]

Dale Jasper obviously

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Unless anybody is aware of any other players who could moonwalk on grass while wearing studs... Bas Savage

 

[crodonilson]

Colin 'The Hawk' Hawkins

i suggest you all follow the outstanding instagram account [MENTION=23140]Albion[/MENTION]cultheroes

 

[stewart12]

by the way Ward and Zamora are categorically NOT "cult heroes"

 

[Easy 10]

Sneaky George has to be in there

Who was the player we signed and then sold (to Stoke I think) for a profit in the same window before he ever kicked a ball for the club? I keep thinking it was Paul Hardcastle but that isn’t right

not far off- it was Paul Holsgrove

signed from Stoke and sold to Hibs without playing a single minute for us

Hmmm.... Do you remember roughly how old he was...?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Digweed - Anyone who loses a testicle for the cause has to be cult, plus the hair, the name, the leggings.

Yup, Diggers for me. I could easily see him in a relationship with snooty Jan Francis. Or fake Kathy Beale's death. He had range.

 

[Bracknell_Gull]

Surely Lee Steele is a candidate up top?

I remember having no fewer than 4 scousers come up to me on separate occasions claiming to be a mate or relative of Steeley when on holiday in Ayia Napa in my centenary shirt, all joyously proclaiming he was a maverick and a pisshead.

I know he crashed his car after a gala dinner drink driving after hitting a puddle, but were the rumours true that he also 'borrowed Micky Adams' car too?
