How would you define a cult footballer? What “ingredients” spring to mind?
Some sort of affinity with the fans? (eg Bonne)
Represent the club well? (eg Bontcho at USA 94)
Seem a good bloke? (Matt Holland?)
Doing one over on the lot up the road? (Danny Haynes)
What have I missed?
And who are Town’s most cultish players? |  | | |  |

....randomly co-written by Paul McGuigan of Oasis fame.
His Wikipedia page gives a decent idea of what he was like, definitely worth a read if people aren't sure what a "cult" footballer really is:

I'd second that it is a brilliant if tragic story. | | | |

Oh, the state of Jimmy Bullard when he waddled out first time after squeezing a new contract out of the club. He must have spent the summer packing away pies and pints like they were going out of fashion. I don’t know about a cult footballer, but he would certainly figure well up in the lardy list. |  | | |

I don’t think they can objectively be the best player, like Messi.
But subjectively they’re a favourite player and probably more within a particular club.
So Shefki for me.
Current candidates? Donacien springs to mind but we and him need a good season to cement it. Bonne too, of course. |  |

Must have long hair, smoke fags, and hate training. |
Lord Trevor of Whymark. One of our finest ever strikers, and he missed out on the FA cup final so is often forgotten [Post edited 28 Oct 2021 16:33]

And his fist pump celebration v Grimsby in the cup. Happy, simpler days. |
That's a long forgotten match. He played upfront with Goddard that day and got a hat-trick didn't he ? |  | | |
