Sheff Utd "Cult" XI

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Unsure if this has been done before, but what would be your "cult" XI be for the Blades?
These aren't the players with the best stats, but players that you just have really fond memories of and (in some cases) deserve more credit.
My attempt:

Marcelo Fjortoft
Ndlovu Whitehouse Dellas Devlin
Nilsen Hodgson McGrath Borbokis
Kelly

 

[coaxingstar71]

Kenworthy, Basham, Booker.

Mind-blowing syntax here.

Billy Sharp isn't a cult hero though, he's a fucking legend.

For shame s2! for shame!

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

I think to be a "cult" player they need to tick the following boxes:
Be of limited ability within the wider team.
Not played too many games (e.g not 200 appearances)
Have some sort of distinguishing incident or feature.

Great example - Chris Porter and his 2 goals against Forest

This is mine, since I’ve been going to games. Probably forgot someone obvious, but my criteria was that they had to have had some sort of influential impact on the fan base, who in turn, took to them. But, they wouldn’t make it in my greatest XI (some are close to it, admittedly!).

 

[Eels]

Joe Bolton, Bob Atkins, Bobby Hatton.

 

[South Sea Blade]

No mention of Dougie Brown????....I'm shocked.

 

[Wards]

Dougie Hodgson, Bob Booker and Chris Porter are the three that immediately spring to mind.

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

Alan Cork

 

[gannonsrightfoot]

No mention of Jooeeeee (Joe Bolton)

 

[gannonsrightfoot]

And Martin Pike both cult level at the time.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

This is going to take me ages, but initially Joe Bolton, Mick Speight, Mark Duffy, Illiman Ndiaye, Mel Rees, Mark Patterson, Mark Devlin, Trianos Dellas, Vas Borbokis, Jack O'Connell. Martin Pike, Alan Cork. Loads to go at.

 

[diode_blade]

Chief? perhaps
Edit
Roger Nielson
Flo (even if only for his two goals at Anfield)

 

[I should coco]

Bob Booker, Joe Bolton, Trevor Hockey, Jeff King, Goooooos Uhlenbeck, Billy Tightshirt, Bradley's all laid themselves down for the cause, with varying levels of ability.

That has to be close to the football definition of 'cult'.
