The_Boy Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Was watching football focus earlier and they were on about club cult figures and i was just wondering who ours would be. I'm assuming it would be John Atyeo but would anyone else challenge him for that title?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Promotion from this division followed by comfortable consolidation in the division above may just see Brian Tinnion elevated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 hows about Jacki and the Gaffer from the 90's / 2000's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 hows about Jacki and the Gaffer from the 90's / 2000's ← I would agree with Jacki as all the fans loved him no matter what he did. The fact he tried to do it was all we cared about. The drinking and socialising made him even more of a hero in most people's eyes. I prefer to keet the name of John Atyeo for Legend as opposed to cult figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bristolbred Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Dariusz Dziekanowski would be my choice for the status as a cult figure, because of his attitude on and off the pitch!!. Atyeo is a Legend, a Gentleman, and a well respected person. But how far would you go back to choose any player, who would be up there with John?, Wedlock?. Gilligan?. Fairclough?. Rodgers?. Galley?. There are a lot of Legends who have worn the Red and White of City!!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 There's only one Gerry Gow. Fans still talk about him 25 years or so after he played - thats legend status in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Personally wouldn't nominate Ateyo for this particular award - Cult hero is something a bit different to Legend. These nominations are for the hardmen, the drinkers, the womanisers etc.... who we should have frowned upon but just loved no matter what. For me Jacki wins hands down jordan may get a mention and certainly people like Gerry Gow would be right up there in the voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Red Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Jacki gets my vote for sure. But Gerry Gow, Norman Hunter and Joe Jordan are also contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire_redz Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Without a doubt Paul Wimbleton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunley Legend Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Ateyo/Wedlock - biggest Legends perhaps Jacki - Most Talented by miles Gow - the biggest Cult hero to wear the red and white shirt. Would run through (and tackle) brick walls for our football club. He's here, he's there, he's every ######g where, Gerry Gow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
