Tookey Is at South Logan Magpies. Geoff Robinson comes to mind. He played hard scruffy hair and beard and wore his socks down and shirt untucked at a time where everyone else's socks were up and shirts were tucked in.
Would Wally Lewis also be classed as a cult player?
Whenever he played in NSW he would get booed. When he got sent to the sin bin in an origin game at Lang Park beer cans were lobbed from all parts of the stadium onto the ground by the QLD fans.
A couple already mentioned already stand out for me; Geoff Robinson / Slammin Sam / Tookey / Tommy / Dallas Donnelly
A couple I don't think mentioned yet more 90's; Blocker Roach / Mark Geyer / Spud Carrol.
Seems to be a lot of front rowers...... I suppose you needed to be a little bit mad.
For me as a kid it was probably Lord Ted and Russell Fairfax both just played early eighties. Others: Chook Herron was value for a laugh. Nappa Lyons should get a start as well anyone who lights up at half time
There's heaps its hard to define what makes them a cult hero I suppose.
