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? |  | | |  |

Combination of name, appearance, ability and lovableness. Bontcho the obvious one. |  |

Someone who you think you could or wish you were like. An overachiever.
Mine would be Allan Hunter. |  | | |

Yes, absolutely, I'll second that. For me, the overhead kick against Blackburn gave him the wow moment that a cult figure really needs. (Be it a great goal, a goalline clearance, a silly celebration, a funny interview or whatever). | | | |

Entertainer, under rated in the football world, on their day world class others average, ability to wind up opposing players and fans but adored by his own, scored in the local derby…
Step forward Mauricio Taricco. |  |

I think it's someone who's loved by fans more than his ability or achievements deserved.
Bontcho and Uhlenbeek definitely count |  |

Yep, Taricco just gets the nod from me too. The one that comes close is Shefki Kuqi.
Looked like he’d been hod carrying all day, had a pie, a pint, a fag and a fight then charged round the pitch like a bull in a bad mood.
A scorer of many a cracking goal, creator of mayhem and the most extraordinary goal celebration I’ve ever seen. He was great. |  | | |
