Cult hero - or favourite rubbish player?

[Herd]

I think Herd does enough for all of us - and all from his mansion in fucking Taiwan or his yacht in Hong Kong or wherever the fuck it is!

Pure Quality cracked another rib there DB ,feck me your on form !

Does that mean you can now blow yourself? I believe that's a highly valued trait in the ladyboy / transgender / Nike-sweatshop-worker world, right?

Vivas cost us the league v Leeds, Winterburn got his nose broken,
Nelson came on half asleep lost his man Hasselbaink scored (99?) I'm still bitter (good chant though)

McGoldricks goal v Liege was a banger, great run, spanked in off the bar
it was the 7th though (10th on aggregate)... hardly key

The Romford Pele was just a great player for us so shouldn't be here. Hillier not Ray took the luggage (I heard a rumour there was a lot more to that story than just nicking bags).

I remember Grimandi having an awesome game v Palace, he scored in a 1-0 win as was absolutely everywhere, carried us. I saw him walking down Upper St that night and said "Gilles you were brilliant today" he said "I know". Pretty sure he was walking around Islington just so people would tell him how well he played. Also Pat Rice's nickname for him is Platini.

For me Johnny Jensen (still have a Jensen shirt), Andy Linighan (if you were only allowed to use your head he'd have been up there with Maradonna) and some random players I liked from the youth team Gavin Macgowan, Mark Flatts, John Halls and Jermaine Thomas (all were DEF gonna make it as big stars according to JD)

*edit* I also remember Cygan playing brilliantly in a key away game at the Riverside in a title run in...

You can't put Romford on this thread. He actually was a good player.

For me cult hero status goes to The Grimster. Single handedly stopped a Dutch spud from scoring the first goal at the Grove. Respectah!

And that look he gave Seamo just afterwards was top quality!

I also remember "Snowy" McGoldrick's game against Liege. Scored a screamer and set up at least 4 of the 7 we got that night. Unfortunately he turned to absolute shite straight after...

And anyone that puts poxy fucking Comedy Eboue on here as a cult hero doesn't know how to spell "cult". The diving cheating fucking mong wanker - the only Arsenal player I have ever actually hated.

I so agree with this. The man was a fucking liability. A disaster waiting to happen. And it happened at whl when he got sent off for pure stupidity. The prat.

DAVID PRICE ;
Loved the man gave everything every time ,best was a goal away to Southampton in the FA Cup on a Monday night where his goal earned us a replay at Highbury in a match we were losing and going under.
This was a very very long FA Cup as we had played Sheff Wednesday Home away and at leicester during a midweek rail strike , I made a lot of coin but also transported thousands to those games.
The replay 2 days later and we won ,went on to win the Cup !
Was a Great man who loved the fans too .

David I salute you !

Isn't he still involved at the club in some way ?
Is there a David Price junior ?

[Herd]

Not sure of Prices whereabouts ,he reminded me a bit of Jon Sammels who I felt was often overlooked but worked very hard and played in a similar position.

Talking of others ,Ian Allinson did a heroes job at WHL in 1987 ,Selley and Morrows heroic job in Copenhagen V Parma makes them worthy men ,and the vital part played by Alex Maninnger in the 97/98 campaign including a blinder at OT when Overmars scored the only goal stand out makes another !

[Arsenal Till I Die]

I always thought Eduardo was nifty, shame about his injury.

[olgitgooner]

Bobby Gould.

One from the old days. Scored two cracking goals against us when he played for Coventry.

So we just had to sign him.

This guy never possessed a wealth of natural skills. But he ran, and ran, and ran, and ran. He had the heart of a steam engine. Could never do enough for the team. For effort alone, he deserves ten out of ten.

Maninger also won us a penalty shoot out at West Ham in the FA CUP on route to the 98 double

Chris Wrey, who I could never understand a word he said in the end of season video's scored a couple of vital 1-0 winners for us too including a semi final v Wolves from memory and then did his triple back somersault with pike to finish.

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

For me it has to be Arshavin. At the time we signed the player we were 5th in the league behind Villa and morale was at low. We were struggling to score against the likes of Fulham. When he came he gave us flare and grant new life into the club.

I also really liked Bendtner. He had a nack for coming off the bench and scoring an important goall.

[goonerwalker]

Of our current team Chamakh and Mertesacker are the obvious ones although Perry Groves was probably our biggest cult hero
