The trials and tribulations of Liverpool Football Club over the past few decades has certainly meant that the club has had its fair share of players that have adorned cult hero status. But what is a ‘cult’ hero though? It’s a difficult thing to define, but more often than not, it’s a player that rarely meets expectations yet is adored by the terraces for the rare occasions that he reminds us that he’s still a professional footballer. Full-blooded commitment to the cause, eccentric characters and the ability to do something unexpectedly and inexplicably out of character in its importance are often essential ingredients in making up a cult hero.
Here are a list of 10 that plied their trade for Liverpool at one time or another in no discernable order. If there is anyone that you think is more deserving of a place on this list than the ones that I’ve chosen? Post your comments below.

INTRODUCING THE WINDOWS PHONE 7!
Going on you other post about what makes a cult figure I can’t believe you’ve left out:
Avi Cohen (RIP) (scored both goals in a 1-1 draw against the hammers in the last game at Anfield which gave us the title)
Terry Mcdermott (“pisses on nurses” as the old chant went)
Bruce Grobbelaar (say no more)
Rob “I’ll have a tenner on him to score the first goal” Jones
Jan “the scouser” Molby
to name but a few
