Cult Heroes

Who have been cult heroes at Tigerland down the years?

D-Rod was probably our last one in his first year or two running, weaving and bouncing the ball for 50m but now he's gone. Do we have another cult hero on our list? Polo? Richo?

Cult Heroes from the past

Peter Wilson
Andy Goodwin


Cult heroes from the present?  Only really Richo at this stage.  Hoping Tambling can become one.

Got a feeling JON could become one, especially if he keeps the "too young but trying to grow one" pornstar mo.

During the 80,s, they used to let the homing pigeons out behind the goals at the army reserve cup, funniest thing you have ever see.

Theres a bit of a story about ""wally"" Eustice.   Something about being off the rails
