Cult Players

[jackyboy]

Watching videos of some of our goals over the past few years and there were a few goals by players no longer with us that stood out. McFadden against Charlton and Fernandes against Man U to name two. It got me thinking who has been our biggest cult player? Or has anyone had a serious desire bordering on obsession for somebody to come good? For me it was always Van Der Meyde, the cup game against Blackburn when we were battered (4-0 maybe?) he was absolutely quality, not to mention the cross against the RS.

Thoughts?

Seriously lad ?

Or just a typo.

VDM is the biggest cult (typo) of a player ever to pull on our shirt. Beat 4-0 and he's quality, ffs, go back to RAWK.

Bilyaletdinov and Stracqualursi for me.

The former because he could not adapt to this league for love nor money and yet came up with 4 or 5 truly unforgettable moments, the goal against Portsmouth being the best goal i've ever seen in the flesh.

Straq because he played like any Evertonian would if they were asked to get on the pitch and do a job, that performance against City was herculian to say the least.

Duncan.

Was only giving my opinion, he was quality in that game even if we did get beat. Didn't realise everyone had to have the same cult players.

Cult players ? Tony Hibbert!!!

Marcus Bent. Let's be honest, he was absolutely turd and couldn't hit a barn door. But we all loved him

Graveson.

Straq is a great shout actually.

Lee Carsley to an extent too.

I think Bryan Oviedo is becoming a bit of a cult player, the lad has only ever made 1 start and there were loads of shirts with his name on the back at the game yesterday.

Saw him against Norwich at home last season and he was our best player by a country mile.

As for cult players, my dad always used to say Duncan McKenzie.

I always had a soft spot for Nuno, think it was against Arsenal in the league cup when he went through Adebayor, cue shouts of "Nuno, Nuno, Nuno!".

Another big cult player was Amokachi. Thought he'd be blinding after the '94 World Cup, but apart from a few games he never really did it. What a game to do it in though. That he wasn't supposed to come on at all only added to his status.
