I don't disagree that Zaba is loved by most, if not all City fans. However, he had talent, played a good amount of minutes and won silverware with us before his legs went. The guy was a bad morherfucker who "got" us as fans and City as a club.

I always thought cult heroes were less skilled players who sat more than they played or did play but were dross and still cheered by all. I see Pablo as a hero and someone like Samaras as more of a "cult hero."

I loved Zaba but he was a limited player and would be classed as cult hero

Paulo Wanchope, Shaun Goater (for obvious reasons), Nicky Weaver, Paul Dickov, Sun Jihai

Agreed. Find it well weird that the AFTV lass has chosen Arteta. That’s not a cult hero.

I don't know what kind of cult would have Samaras as a hero but I'd rather join Heaven's Gate.

I will not pick one, any player who pulls the shirt on and does his share on the pitch is a cult hero for me.
