Who was our No.1 cult hero?

[Bruce Wayne]

Cult heroes usually touch the fans more than flair players, we've had our fair share. Who's the one that sticks out most for you?

Mine has to be Booker. Rubbish player that had a rubbish career and then boom, it just clicked with the Blades.

Morgan. I remember speaking to a Barnsley supporter after we got promoted and he asked me who United had who would keep us up. As I listed them he was going, 'don't know', 'he's alright' etc. Morgan came up 'not good enough', 'I know' I replied. We were both wrong.

Dane.

Because we all wanted to be like him. Born in the city. Born a Blade. Played for the Blades. Stayed with us.

We may have sung Bob Bookers name more, but for me, always be Dane Whitehouse.

Dane, Booker, Morgs and the Werewolf are good shouts.

I'd chuck in 'Joe', 'Stan' and to a lesser extent ;Santos' who all had their own single word chants.

Totally agree. He had the amazing ability to out jump centre forwards who tried to sit on him for long balls.

Another one who had no chance of playing in the Prem but he turned out to be superb. I remember the commentator saying, 'oh Rooney's playing with him!' Talking about Geary. Yeah he was pissing about with the ball because he couldn't even make enough space to get a cross in when he was supposedly the greatest English talent around.
