HFBoards - All Cult Hero/Favorite player team

[Peen]

I’m curious if there’s players this board has unanimously liked a lot - for whatever reason - in the last 10-15 years. Actively playing or not.

This could be because we all see the on field greatness and are all big fans (Benzema) or some player who was a cult hero on this board and frequently discussed but was never anything more than a Jon Obi Mikel level player.

Who would be in the HFBoards cult hero 18?

[Savant]

Divock Origi

 

[Evilo]

Hmmm, not easy.
Not many guys have a perfectly likeable personnality/style/CV.

Thiago Motta is one of the good guys in football IMO. Marquinhos also qualifies.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Kante for sure.

The one that came to my mind when I thought of you was how frequently you would go to bat for HBA

 

[Evilo]

Oh HBA is definitely a cult hero. Hated by man, totally adored by others. I do like him, I won't lie. Shitty mindset at times, but a f***ing joy to watch. He "stinks football".

 

[S E P H]

Dmitri Payet
Mauro Icardi
Santi Cazorla
Nicolas Anelka

Also thought of Payet. And Ozil.

I was going to add Robben because he was brilliant to watch, but he was such a diver I am not sure.

I think everyone here loves Ronaldinho and Kaka.

 

[Live in the Now]

Some of these players are too good to be cult heroes. Cult heroes are guys like Origi and Kyrgiakos.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

David Luiz will always be my cult hero, even as the f***ing traitor he ended up being

 

[Eye of Ra]

Lol i just knew Evilo would bring up HBA. I love HBA too.

 

[les Habs]

I can't imagine a player that everyone on this forum is unanimous about as a "cult hero". Most definitely not Benzema. A lot of forum members have their own cult heroes, or at least guys they like/rate, but no one I can see as a unanimous choice. Ronaldinho seems the most unanimous choice of those listed thus far.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Suarez is the only answer.

It was meant to not be limited to bad players. I meant just players this board has had long debates over, nearly unanimously liked.

Could be a top end player or an obscure one.

Ah that's easy then. Maldini

Divock Origi

Not for Barcelona fans

Mauro Icardi

Except if you're an Inter fan. Or a decent human being.

My vote goes to Iniesta.

 

[Savant]

Not for Barcelona fans

My vote goes to Iniesta.

I don’t think you know what a cult hero is

Lol i just knew Evilo would bring up HBA. I love HBA too.

Origi and Ben Arfa are the only actual cult heroes that have been named so far.

 

[cgf]

Max Kruse is loved by every decent human being.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Heskey - Klose
Ji-Sung - Maniche - Leiva - Figo
