Can I throw in to the mix Harry Kewell and Alan Smith. Doesn't take much. Heroes both of them but where are they now?

No, way they left,

What I meant is how superficial hero status is. Both of these players were up there but now.
Can I throw in the hat the two Bobby's, Collins and Davison.
Collins battled back from a broken thigh bone, was as hard as nails and without him I doubt we would have kicked on to become the team we did.
Bobby Davison was definitely a cult hero it says he was on his Wiki page.
No mention of Zico?
Stand up Mel Sterland. Not only a cult hero but can still drink like a bloody fish!
Hughes - cause let's be honest had you given him a pair of keeper gloves and told him he needed to go in net he wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Klich has "grafted into a legend" (quoting squareball there) Hughes did that back in the dark days of League One. They guy was just so likeable.
Beraedi is definitely one of my favourite cult heroes and when I think why there are two main reasons outside of what he did on the field and even then one might be not be based on what actually happened.
The sixnote six incident, which might not have been a thing but at the end of day, during a pretty bleak period for the club, we had a perceived incident where he sat on the bench injured cause a bunch of players chucked a wobler. Even if that's not what happened that's what will be remembered as happening.
And then the playing without a contract and getting injured situation. That just kind of cemented him firmly into cult hero status. There will never be a better example of side before self.
Sterland for me when I had season tickets as a kid.
Hughes 100% in the league one days
‘League 1 Hughsie’ for me. What a wonderful, self-deprecating guy (very rare indeed for a professional footballer).
