To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Some players mentioned were regular players and too good to be classed as cult heroes e.g. Parlane, Hately, Novo etc For me a cult hero is not the best player in the side. He's got to have at least one massive obvious weakness. Despite their failings we love having them all the same. Sadiq is a cult hero in waiting.

East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Getting away from the point fellow bears.

TMB 14,167 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Pedro Mendes. Not everyone liked Mendes when he was here (as hard as that is to believe) but he was an incredible player. I still think he's the greatest passer of a ball I've ever seen in a Rangers jersey. The range of passing he had, especially the one touch stuff and through balls, were sublime.

Great players and underated players are entirely different from cult heroes. Marvin Andrews - definite yes. I loved big Marvin. He was a big physical player brought in at a time when we were competing against MON's teams and done a great job. He met everything in the air and could head the ball from defence to the halfway line. We knew what we were getting and he did it brilliantly.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,921 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Daniel Candeias has the makings of a cult hero, not the greatest to ever grace us but loves playing for us and leaves nothing on the pitch, could hardly talk when doing his after match interview the other night, puts in some shift.

Some of the efforts he puts in are almost superhuman. Like that night at home to Osijek. He has a tremendous amount of assists, works like a dog, and was our POTY last season.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 So Cult Hero is being defined as: limited ability small cult following among the fans does the best with what he's got passionate runs about a lot On RM, The Halliday fits the bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
murzo 7,446 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Don’t know if he could be classed as a cult hero but I’ll say Alec Cleland anyway. Wasn’t the greatest but gave his all, scored against them, and got sent off against Juve for booting Del Piero cause he’d ripped the pish out him.
