Looking at the current squad and don't think there are many 'cult heroes' at the moment...

 

I remember in the 90s we had Rico, Shearer, and then we had the likes of Deano... Then there were, to a lesser extent, Andy Dow, Rachid Belabed and Paul Sheerin...

 

Who's your all-time Aberdeen 'cult-hero'?

 

Good post DD

 

I'd pick Rougvie, closely followed by Cooper, but of course he blotted his copy book by going to the filth.

Gillhaus or Bett.

Cult hero has to be big Willem. He looked ungainly and even shite at times but you could never fault the fecker for effort.

agreed

Belabed, for no other reason than his attempts to do at least one overhead kick every match, whether it was appropriate or not.

Tzanko Tzvetanov!

Duncan Shearer, Hans Gillhaus, Jim Bett, Charlie Nick are not cult heroes. They're just heroes.

 

A cult hero would be more someone who wasn't really recognised as a hero outwith those who followed the club. Lee Richardson and Doug Rougvie are good shouts, though.

Toni Kumbouare

Aye, forgot to answer my own question... would have to be Rico for me!

Big Doug.

Joey Harper.

Stuart Kennedy.

Frank MacDougal.

Bobby Clark.

Bumper Graham.

Drew Jarvie.

 

Hmm, am I getting old?

 

Aye but as the biscuit man says; surely they are all bona fide heros'?

I did kinda think that after I jumped in but then surely neither is Deano or Shearer?

No just old

Hemin.

Sorry, but what Shearer did for us and what Windass did for us is entirely different.

 

People seem to think Windass was some amazing player. He wasn't. He was a good player. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

Shearer was the best penalty box striker we'd had since Frankie Mac.

 

I'd say Windass was a cult hero. Shearer? nope. Bona fide hero? absolutely.

Totally agree, two entirely different things in my opinion

Eh? Where did I say they were the same type of player? Shearer you've said is a bona fide hero, but Windass isn't? I never claimed he was a "great" either but lets face it he's done more since leaving, than any other of our players, over the last fifteen years, did in their entire career. I'm sure he was a hero at Hull, Bradford, Oxford, and Boro so to say he's not a hero to anyone outwith this club is also a bit wide of the mark.

 

think you're mis-reading that Baggy.

Shearer is a hero, but not a cult hero, whereas Deano was a cult hero, if you get what i mean.

Naw.

 

Married twice!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(so far)

Absolutely Lee Richardson.

What?

 

So now we have to praise our ex players on what they did at other clubs?? I don't fucking think so.

 

Read my post again. I think you have the wrong end of the stick. You possibly have the wrong stick altogether.

Deano, Zero, Rico, all cult heroes. And all end in "o". Therefore, does that allow "Cato" into the cult hero list?

I cannae believe my ma threw oot that teamsheet fae Farum

 

She threw it oot cos yer name wasnae on the teamsheet ... despite you being the Dons top scorer on the day!

Haha! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaary Brooks. I mind him.

 

That photo ginge has got of us wi' Robbie Winters. I wouldnae mind findin who took that photo. Cos they'll probably have the one of us and Zero all stickin the fingers up to the camera too! Cos that photo was only moments after the Winters photo.
