Your favourite West Ham United CULT-HERO, and why...
|
|
Think mine is still Samassi ABOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU...
We bought him for hardly anything from Cannes or some financially-struggling, lowly French club like that as back-up to Hartson and Kitson...
No-one had ever heard of him before and, although he wasn't at the club too long, he really made an impact (usually positively) in his relatively few appearances for us...
I remember him scoring TWICE against Barnsley in a 6-0 win; he linked-up play really well and had decent skill and a good football brain...
I remember him scoring against Leeds in a 3-0 win as well - loved his SICK PARROT goal celebration with his tongue poked-out and arms flapping about...
He was prone to lose his temper as well - I remember him kicking Colin CALDERWOOD in the shins when he got sent-off away at Spurs...
Think he had a clash with Martin 'MONKEY HEAD' Keown as well in a League Cup tie Vs Arsenal at our gaff...
Yeah, there have been many other CULT-HEROES who've stayed much longer and probably contributed far more to the team in the long-run but SAMASSI is one that really sticks in my mind - a real character; unknown and signed for hardly anything... A quick flash in the pan and then disappeared back into obscurity... Of course, our chant for him was brilliant as well...
What about you CUNTS?!?!...
ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Frank McAvennie.
No need to explain.
I take it, you mean simply cult hero, and not "shit" player that we still loved because of their attitude and effort?

Best thing Abou ever did aside from missing penalties and open goals, was the outrageous trick of spinning the ball back over his own head and the defender behind him and spinning round and running off with the ball.
My Dad also claims he started the ABOUUUUUU chant from the BMU on his debut, not sure I believe that.

I remember Abou starting up front against Arsenal in the FA Cup Quarter Final at Highbury in 1998. Abouuuuuu's ringing about all over the place that day.

None other than CULT-ON Cole.
The Tommy Cooper of footballers who by the end if the season could be our all time Premier League leading goalscorer.

Billy Bonds? Cult? Are you mental?
John Moncur because of the effort he put into getting yellow cards.

Francois Van Der Elst for me, I think.
A foreigner before the massive influx started and therefore a curiosity before he even arrived.
Highly skilful, good for a goal and part of a team that was regularly in the top ten. Also had a great name and clearly loved it at West Ham.
Saw him outside the Boleyn a few seasons ago - I think they were doing a programme on him for Belgian TV.
