[sussex_guy2k2]

What's the cult? Branch Davidian?

To Madeira?

Kim Kallstrom
Javier Saviola

Tommy Svindal Larsen​

Niclas Alexandersson

Andri Sigþórsson​

Kennedy Bakircioglü​

Now there's some proper cult heros!

To Madeira?

 

[Comrade Sam]

As a teenage Commie, Sergei Gotsmanov for scoring the winner against England at Wembley - ending England's 200 year unbeaten run at home. I thought mates were pulling my leg when he actually signed for us.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Ian Hutchinson for that throw of his.

 

[TugWilson]

I see we are very much of he same mind set. And vintage

Yep there were some cracking players about then , someone above mentioned Tonie Currie another great talent , i used to like watching Steve Heighway down the RW and the opposite side of the coin Tommy Smith - the immovable force - Happy days H

 

[Sea Cider]

To Madeira?

To Madeira?

Weirdly I never spotted him in any of my many games!

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Dalglish.

Best footballer I’ve ever seen live. Gazza a close second.

 

[madinthehead]

1-1 draw? That was the first Albion game my Dad took me to as well (although it was actually my second ever Albion game)

Yup... A few years ago now..

 

[Han Solo]

Barely any cult heroes in this thread. Lots of legend of the game, but cult heroes? Not many.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hunter S Thompson
Mark E Smith

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Barely any cult heroes in this thread. Lots of legend of the game, but cult heroes? Not many.

Come on, we've had Beckham, Maradona, Gazza, Ronaldo, Dalgleish and Jimmy Greaves!

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Weirdly I never spotted him in any of my many games!

He was only in one game because he wasn’t a real person. And he was worth about £7k right at the start, so unless you knew about him…

But those who knew, knew.

 

[Swegulls]

Barely any cult heroes in this thread. Lots of legend of the game, but cult heroes? Not many.

Well, feel free to contribute... What are we after? Something like Joe Jordans fighting face, Wimbledons Crazy Gang, club legends like NI:s finest Alan McDonald?

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Brian Greenhof, Malcolm Macdonald, Terry Mcdermott, Falcao, Kempes

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

I suspect being a lazy homer who did what he wanted on and off the pitch may have been a factor.

Tony Currie
Stan Bowles
Alan Hudson
Charlie George
Duncan McKenzie

And for good measure, Robin Friday.

Blimey Robin Friday. Pretty sure he got sent off at the Goldstone playing for Cardiff? Or was it Paul Went?

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

As a big fan of Everton in the mid 80s, Id have to go with big Neville Southall, Adrian Heath, Peter Reid....amongst others

 

[levs]

Crouchy

And Let's not forget the combover kings:

Bobby Charlton
Ralph Coates
Arthur Scargill*
Rab C Nesbitt

*To be strictly accurate, Crown Topper tastic.
