Biggest Cult Hero?

[RayCTID]

Barry Conlon - remember trying to convince ourselves he was the future

Or Wilfred Bony.

How about that German dude from the 90s who had an Italian sounding name, looked like a guitarist in a Heavy Rock band and had a little 'sideline' in stolen cars?
Apologies for not looking up how to spell his name and indeed if he's already been mentioned.

Maurizio Gaudino.

I knew Heath’s record was poor....didn’t realise it was that bloody poor.

If I’m not mistaken, he scored once - against Everton in the first home game - in the 90/91 season, and that was it.

Sergio.

Our greatest ever.

Never a cult hero.

He’s a club legend.

Cult hero implies someone who is not universally regarded as a fantastic player. But is loved by his chosen people.

So I'd say Sergio, Vinny, Bell, etc are all out of the running.

Uwe for me.

I agree a cult hero is never the best player in the side. A cult hero is the man on the pitch the fans adore for his passion and pride in wearing the shirt.

Kiki Musampa? Just checked his stats, only scored 4 for City, which surprised me.
Come to think of it don't actually remember many of his goals. Do remember a cracking last minute winner against Liverpool, think he also scored in that bizarre Boro watch where Pearce put keeper David James 'up top'!!

got the winner at Norwich the season before which guaranteed us safety, sure he scored v Luton in a 4-0 win maybe season after and scored a couple in a cup game at QPR

When we signed Kiki Musampa, was thinking we'd signed the frog from Hectors House (wow, that's an age giveaway). There were times tbh when I wish he had signed kiki from Hectors House rather than some of the shite we did sign!!
