Benny Nason was probably our popular cult hero this year with his dreds.

Who were your favourite cult heroes at Tigerland over the years?

Justin Plapp springs immediately to mind. The supporters really embraced him for a short time before we found out he was no good.

Birdman, Brett Evans
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Although he couldn't play, Tim Fleming was mine.

He was a dirty prick and seemed to take a liking to elbowing Nick Riewoldt's chin.  :lol

This should get some interesting response but mine was the Duck.

what can i say i was young and innocent at the time but i was devested when he was traded to Sydney.  Then i started watching Staffy, i soon overcame my grief.  Jump a few years into the future and i now like Lukey Boy, notthe most skillfull player but plays his guts out.

Our own "Golden Turn-Up Award" is named after one IMHO
