Cult Hero XI

It's been a while since someone posted a nostalgia thread so here goes.

 

Over the years the club has had many players who never quite managed to establish themselves as regular first team starters, but still managed to endear themselves to the fans as cult heroes. Who would you put in this category?

 

To get the ball rolling -

 

Liam Keogh - Possibly the fastest player we ever had, persistently dogged by injuries, scored one of the most crucial goals in our history against Clyde in the first division title decider.

 

Dean McDonald - The original 'Deano', easily the smallest player ever on our books, but always got stuck in. Showed some promise in pre-season, but was rarely given a chance by Christie or Brewster. "If Deano scores, we're on the pitch." 

 

Marco De Barros - Much hyped 'star player' signed from Huntly, wowed fans with some dazzling skills and mazy runs, probably the most ball-greedy player to ever wear the shirt. Also the only other player previous to James Vincent who managed to pull off a successful Marseille turn.

 

Zander Sutherland - Another 'wee man' who dazzled the crowd with his trickery on the wing, tore County to shreds in a pre season friendly.

 

Roman Golobart - A colossus in the heart of defence, bravery beyond his years and not short on skill, but prone to the odd howler.

Richard Hastings' free kick v Arbroath I think it was in a 4 or 5-1 win at Telford Street. He scored a beauty in that game from 25-30 yards out and the proceeded to take free kicks for seasons after without getting anywhere near. Although he was regarded for a while as a brilliant dead ball specialist.

Pele just couldn't cope with him 

Was Vettle Andersen a Swede?

 

Here are two identical twins, the Sedin  brothers. They come from Sweden and look quite like this lad, Vettle.

 

They play ice hockey  for the Vancouver Canucks and one is the captain. Very talented and skilled but now beginning to age...
