Cult hero

Was asked today but a rival football fan who Leeds biggest ever cult hero is. Pondered it on and off and come with loads of names but the top3 I gave him were. Forgetting what happened before /after I considered the impact and effect of players whilst at Leeds

Eric Cantona
Vinny Jones
Tony Yeboah

These 3 players brought so much excitement on and off the field in the short time they were with us. All were absolutely adored and left too early.

Difficult to pick a top one.

Tony Yeboah
Vinnie Jones


Speed, Batty, Strachan, Gary Mac, are legends for me. Part of an incredible team who won the league - all played 200-300 games for the club.

For me a cult hero is one who has a unique connection with fans, not necessarily related to ability.

In addition to those already mentioned, the omission of a recent player comes to mind - David “Jesus” Prutton.

Prutton is a good shout. Recognition also for Andrew Hughes, who bled football, and Patrick Kisnorbo for his bandage. Never forgot the cheers every timer Sam Sodje stooped to win the ball with his head.

Big difference between legends and cult hero. Don't think a legend needs to have won something just someone that when you think of a club, that player comes to mind.

Different people will have different players as legends, because of different expectations, attitudes and the like.

Pontus Id probably say as well from our current squad.
