Can't help thinking many peoples definition of cult hero is a little skewed. Therefore should not include tile likes of Zamora or Ward.
For me it would be Johnny Crumplin ' football genius' where the monicker morphed from irony to genuine appreciation of his efforts. The unofficial T-shirt lurks somewhere at home. Utter gash and then marked Barnes out of the FA cup game at Anfield and not forgetting the boxing day 30 yard screamer against Burnley?

I suppose the greyhound could have been a cult hero if he'd played a bit more?
Blimey; quite a lot over the period of time I have been following the club.
Top of the list has to be Dick Knight. Without him, we would have no club.
Mullers is the manager of legends.
On the playing side sheesh..........Nobby Horton, Paul Clark, Sully, Wardy, Harry Wilson, Eric Steele, Gary Hart, FDM, Cullip, Bobby Z..........Calde (I can't help it, I just love the wee fella) and El Capitano...
I got enough to form a cult there haven't I?

Not only marked Barnes out of the game, but, nutmegged him as well.
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.
Yes it says so in my post you quoted.

Peter Smith.
I was in with the home fans for the League Cup match at Leicester.
One fan was memorable. Smithy was having his usual scatty match and went on a run all the way down the wing.
The home fan lost his marbles:
"He's still got the ball"
"He's still got THE BALL"
"He's STILL GOT THE BALL"
Cult hero for that incident and many.

Players like Nobby Horton, Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora, Bruno etc are definitely heroes but they’re mainstream not cult heroes.

I only think of cult heroes as players who weren’t that good but shone when we were shit
Reinalt and Storer for THOSE goals
Jeff Minton and Rod Thomas for making the trips to Gillingham worthwhile
Gary Hart as above but we were lucky enough to have the set of tracksuits player for a much longer time.
Mark Gall, for some reason I thought he was going to be a superstar
Mark Beeney for unwittingly saving the club from going under
I’m sure there are others but the above spring to mind
