CFC Cult Heroes

[Azul]

My conspiracy theory is that Mick isn't a fan of fro's. Boots and Ed have been trimmed since his arrival... if only this theory extended to beards!

Curnow and Bootsma complete wannabes with their locks of hair.

This thread needs more Tommy.

The End.

Dunno if I've ever mentioned this around here, but I served Messer Doull when I was working at a servo up in the Donvale area. I was about 19, it's true he doesn't really speak, and when he left I made the following customers wait while I called my mum (no answer) then her best friend (both Carlton lunatics) to tell them I'd just served Bruce Doull. Good shit.

Rhino, Wiggins & Kouta immediately came to mind for me. I was at Rhino's 50th....it was bloody fantastic. For Kouta - I figure once the entire crowd chants your name at the end of the game instead of singing the song...you've reached cult status. I THINK it was when we played against Sydney (maybe WC) at Princes Park. Took 17 marks and absolutely dominated the game like I have rarely seen. He was definitely HOT HOT HOT that day (wasn't that just cringeworthy!)

Personally, Glenn Manton always had a bit of a cult following in my family.

Edit: Oh, and Captain Carlton is my cult hero.

Lol yes!!!

And Captain Carlton on the hovercraft... What the!!!!

 

[blueboy25]

Hated him when he first crossed from Geelong but Adrian Hickmott was a big favourite of mine after a few years in the navy blue.

Frank Marchesani going back a bit damn he was fast. Wayne Harmes watching from standing Room I will never forget.
Bruce Doull "The Flying Doormat" simply understated watching some nuff nuff pulling his headband off and throwing it away and the seeing them run as bruce chased them priceless

I think from memory it was Geoff Ablett that Doull chased.

Also happened again when Tony Buhagiar pulled off Doull's headband and threw it into the crowd at VFL Park.

Those were the days!!

The footage of the budgie doing that is on youtube I'll try and find it later on

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

I did love Des English when I was very young, Ang Christou when I was older and Zach is my current cult hero.

I used to wear Des English's number on my back. Loved him. Tragic story with him and Mots not being able to play in the '87 GF, but both still going strong today

David Rhys Jones

 

[sacamano]

Big Plunkett all the way

You mean this footage




Couldn't remember Clayton but remembered Budgie threw it into the crowd.

 

[thylacine60]

AFter his KO against Collingwood a few years ago, and the fact they kept showing it in slow mo, I'd say Heath Scotland is right up there.

Despite what we all think now, Fev was a massive hero, with his ups and downs, probably one of the biggest in our history.

I think Brad Pearce for us Tasmanians during 95 was also a bit of a hero.

These days, I'm going with Robbo and Setanta.

Deadset thought he was from QLD for some reason. Perhaps because he was on the Bears list for a while.

I think that Clayton just pulled it off... and Budgie did the nasty... and Clay copped the aggro from Bruce...

Great day that one seeing Mr Meek fire right up

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Mario Bortolotto.
Warren McKenzie.
Scot Howell.
Spiro Kourkoumelis.
Phil Poursanidis.

Apologies for the spelling but all cult hero's for mine!!

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

Big Nick or Whale Jones for me and now Yazza.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Always loved Vinnie Catoggio, circa 1978, with the big afro.

Reckon he's the reason the whistler starting firing up on the press box wing........and he was a cult hero on his own.

 

[FootyGeek]

 

[The old campaigner]

Red hair, black rimmed glasses and massive sideburns. Tony Southcombe could have been the ultimate cult hero if he had played a few more games.

 

[The old campaigner]

Big Nick or Whale Jones for me and now Yazza.

WOW Jones, Whale Roberts.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

WOW Jones, Whale Roberts.

Cheers for clearing that up
