This week on FootballFanCast.com we are celebrating the cult hero! Every club has one and football wouldn’t be the same without them. Cult heroes may not have the skill levels of some of the greatest players in the game, but they have managed to endear themselves to their fans either through their hard work on the pitch, feats that will be remembered forever or simply a silly hair cut!

There are central ingredients that go into making a cult hero, whether they are appearance or eccentricity, and every cult hero has a defining feature that the fans can replicate or at least a song that everyone in the ground knows. So join us as we take a look at football cult heroes from yesteryear and the modern day and pay homage to one area of football that will surely never die out.
