Bauld Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I always liked Miko. Sent off 4 times in 3 games against Rangers. Cup winner 06 Scored a brilliant winner against hibs.

Morgan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Of course, ‘cult hero’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘good/great player’. Or indeed ‘favourite player’. I’ve not read the thread through but would select these few as Hearts cult heroes: Bruno Robbo Eric Carruthers Willie Johnston Yogi Baird Wee Jose MDV Fashanu? Henry Smith Mr Busby Pinilla Super Wayne (for that goal) Bobby Prentice Rudi Cruickie All of them good, some of them brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 In recent times probably Zeefuik or Dikamona. Milinkovic might be a shout too. Zeefuik coming in and making that sort of impact and then disappearing is gutting. Had he stayed who knows! Still think we should sign him as a 'project'. If you're struggling for a goal in the last 10 mins he'd be a great option. Dikamona's commitment since he's came in has been first class. Him forcing his way into the derby despite not being fit was brilliant to see. Players with that sort of commitment are few and far between. Hope to see him at the club for a long time. He's an example to any player coming in on what we as fans want. Older than that, Phil Stamp? The pizza story also his goal v hibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
