    Got to be David Currie or Gerry Taggart. Redfearn wasn't 'cult'

    Depends how old you are I guess. I'd say Glavin or McCarthy but I started going in the mid-70s.

    It'll depend on your age. Ronnie Glavin would be the man for many. I don't think the word 'cult' in this context means they split opinion. So I can see why Redders gets the nod.

    Redders is a hero but not a cult hero.

    Think more Banks Taggart O'Connell Thomas Currie as cult figures.

    Bruce Dyer is a cult hero. Redfearns more a legend.

    I'd have guessed a cult hero would've been someone like Alan Little, Gwyn Thomas, Gerry Taggart or Graham Pugh, rather than Neil Redfearn. Ah, well.

    Neil Redfearn's not a cult hero, he's just a legend - the greatest player we've had during my time supporting the club. My dad's always said Glavin, which I think he holds in common with a lot of people who've been around since before I came onto the scene. But again, legendary rather than cult.

    Players don't really stick around long enough any more to attain 'cult' status, but over recent years I suppose Hassell would be in with a shout.

    Would have taken a bullet for this club despite having no connection to it whatsoever, and had never even heard of Barnsley before he signed for us.

    Frimpong was a right cult.

    As was Maceo Rigters who was a useless cult.

    Keith Brown was a terrible cult.

    Steve Cooper - definite cult hero. Put his head where others wouldn't put their feet. Still a sad irony that a head injury caused his death.

    Not even a mention for Richard Kell. Scandalous.

    If you think Kell not getting a mention is bad John what about Brek Shea? Shocking

    What a midfield partnership that could have been.
