Has to be Danny Murphy. The way he set TNB stright in an interview a few weeks ago really showed how much Cork City fc means to him .
Seeing as I dont have a club, I think these should be added:
Henry McKop - Shels circa 1995 - Deported on drug charges!
Marc Kenny - For all the stories fans and players know about him
Alan Reynolds - For mouthing off in a nightclub and having his jaw broke
Roddy Collins' 'friends' at Dublin City (Efan Ekoku, Carlton Palmer)
Eddie Van Boxtel for just being a lunatic in his post career behaviour
Patsy Freyne
jimmy Mulligan
Danny Murphy
I was expecting Gerry Bull McCabe from Cork fansQuote:

He is in his mid 50's now and was still playing junior football last season. He is a Galway United season ticket holder and sometimes goes to away games too. I saw him at UCD and Sligo last year.
He is what legends are made off.
Has got to be Alan Reynolds , a no nonsense player on the field and a bar brawling lunatic off it.
Dixie Dean.
Foir me, Utd CULT heroes were:
Oh Ah Johnny Morris Burke.
Pa Dunne - the postman from Tuam always delivers!
Johnny Kenny flying down the wing, with his mullet and hairband following him.
Gerry Daly - ball or man shall pass. Never both.
Miko Nolan (RIP) - speakng of tough nuts, Miko, give the nice man his leg back.
Mags Mannion - what's that John, speak up, they can't hear you in, oh, France maybe?
As mentioned earlier, Chick Deacy - cult hero, legend and one of our best ever players, all rolled into 1.
Ricky Fla and his dancing feet.
Richie 'Blocks More' Blackmore.
Johnny Glynn for THAT goal, obviously.
Mickey McLaughlin - the BSH was as wide as he was tall.
Derek 'Buck' Rogers
And I'm probably leaving a load out as well . . . .
Has to be Fago for any bit o red fan. he even looked like Che Guevara! What more do you want?
Jimmy McGarry
Pat Morley surely is a cult hero.
And Rico did a pretty good job when he was here.

Barry Burke was the great cult hero at DC. Fabulous player who could have gone all the way if he'd had the right managers.Quote:

Robbie Dunne and Paul Marney for me. They were hard working, would feed off the energy of the fans and 100% committed to the team but not particularly great players - everything a cult hero should be!
Stenny and Fago - with the Bit o' Red from the Cretaceous era to the mid-1980s.
From other teams, the great McConville-Keely-Dunning-Lawlor axis of evil
Dermot Keely at Dundalk - with his gunslinger gait, and his unfliching determination to chop down anyone foolish enough to try to go past him.
Three red cards in four games (i think) ensured his cult status could not be undone by his subsequent managerial daliances with almost every LoI club.
Owen DaGama and Nelson daSilva for the sheer skill and razzmatazz when Derry joined the league and were playing in the first division and having crowds of 8-9000 at every home game. Them days were magic and these two players stand out for me.
Danny Ventre, Paul McTiernan, Ian Wexler, Gareth Gorman
Hes the best referee in the league without a doubt too!!!!!!!!Quote:

So many legends already and not around ten years yet and I didn't even mention Barry Clancy ;)
For Wexford Youths I suppose the early cult heroes would be Paul "Patsy" Malone, he's not the most talented player in the world but he tries his heart out every game and loves a crunching challenge "Patsy's gonna get ya" is a fans favourite chant.
Liam "Locky the flying winger" O'Loughlin would be another one, left the squad to travel to the US to get his pilots licence last year, before returning this season, has now returned to junior football along with quite a few other senior squad players.
More For Sligo Rovers.....
Fred Davis.
Paul Nugent.
Johnny Kenny.
Wes Charles.
James Mulligan.
Mick Leonard - Probably the No. 1.
Jimmy Nolan
Gerry Mullen
Jumbo
Ricky Fla
Slob Costello
Damo Dupuy
Llewellen Riley
John Mannion
Billy Clery
Pa Dunne
Ian Wexler for de Town.
And for others..Quote:

I almost forgot about Road Runner, any man who freely defecates on a public street is a legend in my book.
What about that angry midget?Quote:

and Barry Clancy made an unforgivable mistake that cost us the game against Bray in the FAI Cup replay one year so he ain't a cult hero more of a cult villian, plus he ran off crying to Monaghan
