I'm a big Kyle Reimers fan personally.
There are a few ways you could look at it with the Crows. There's Mark Ricciuto, our long-time captain, eight-time All Australian and only Brownlow Medallist. At the start of a recent wave of change at the club, Roo returned to sit on the board, much to our excitement.
There's Andrew McLeod, often called the most-loved Crow and greatest Crow, the only man ever to win consecutive Norm Smith Medals, five time All Australian.
Tony Modra didn't play nearly as many games but was a popular, exciting key forward and put so many bums on seats in our critical early years.
And then there's Malcolm 'Saint Malcolm the Messiah' Blight, who coached the Crows to a premiership in his first year and backed it up the next year. He was with us for a short time but will always be remembered for getting the ultimate success against adversity.
We're launching an Adelaide FC Hall of Fame next month, so it's a current topic of debate.

Is he related to Bootsma?
The great man. I just wanted to be like JAKO

In the early to mid 90's, Ken Hinkley.
Wish he was our coach now.

Gun player, not cult hero though, a lot of fans were pissed off at him about the GWS contract scenario.

I always considered a cult hero to be someone who had their own following amongst a group of supporters or the description you have given.
There is no doubt in my memory that the Wiz had a massive cult following, though I get your argument as basically every Freo fan was a fan of the wizard. Speaking of memories how good was the crowd raising it arms in unison with the wiz whenever he slotted one from the boundary.
