Kevin Williamson was up there too, if only for his barmy oul one.

Actually I'll throw Gavin McDonnell in there too, raging lunatic that guy!

Aye they are the ones.
Mystic Meg has quiet a fragrence, quiet a pungent stale p!ss smell.
Not to mention the multitude of homeless winos and general crustys, some good characters there.
One of the hobos there spent 20 minutes talking to me about the joys of fingering a certain area of his anatomy, ahh never a dull moment.

I know she's never played but Noelle Feeney has done a great amount of work for CCFC over the years.

**brianw82** · 26/08/2009, 4:59 PM

Has to be Jim Flanagan and/or Xano. So cult that they've never even played a game (or perhaps even existed?)

Madame Bridget - I still can't understand how people sit beside her outside Ulsteer Bank, hand over cash and have their palm 'read' in public, not even a manky auld caravan

**Town Legend** · 27/08/2009, 7:59 AM

As mentioned before Sean Prunty, Zac Hackett, Digger O'Brien, Ritchie Parsons, Vinny Perth and Eric Lavine.

Also worth a mention is Paul McNally, if injury hadn't cut is Town career short Paul 'Gucci' Perth and Keith 'Mumbles' O'Connor for scoring all them goals to get us promoted!!

I'm not sure some of them qualify as cult heroes. I mean Prunty, Digger and Mumbles were all excellent players (at their level in the case of O'Connor) in their own right.

McNally was injured a year or two after he'd gone to Bohs, and I wouldn't have Lavine near any heroes list...

I'd have the rest on the cult heroes list though. How about the Bald Truck Driving Man?

And then tried to sue the club when it was on it's knees. It's not hero status she deserves but a slap.

Stephen Geogahn tried something similar at Shels 3 years back and for that he will always be a C***, i don't care how many goals he scored for us.

Ollie Keogh working with him now since Nigel Keady departed for the FAI.

A few Cult Heros for Da Town

1. Rod De Khors - Legend ... no explination required
2. Barry Murphy and Frank Darby - The dymanic duo! Barry was hard as nails and Frank could distract strikers with his eardrum piercing shreek!
3. Jamsie Coll ... we said we needed a manager and a centre half, he said I'll do both!
4. Stevie Gavin - Got taken off injured away to Mons so he came up to the stand and played the drum for us
5. Andy Myler - Goalscoring legend
6. Danny O'Leary - Broken fingers still couldnt stop him playing
7. Johnny Morris-Burke - Purly for his Mario Kempes stype perm at the time
8. Adrian Carberry - Legend always giving 100%. Got clocked one game, blood everywhere, physio ran on with the magic sponge. Cabsy took it, cleaned the blood off his new white boots, got up and played on
9. "Honorable" mention for Istavn "Stephen" Lakatos and Zolt "Joe" Pedro ... came over to Ireland without a word of English but quickly learned 3 important words ... Want ... More ... Money
