Yeah you're right. Only reason i said Archibald is because he was quickly a fan favourite and seems a bit overlooked now, even back then to extent but he was a great player so a bit borderline if he was cult. The best mentions are Naylor, Roberts, Ekotto and maybe Nayim but it took him 2 or 3 years to become a cult hero.

To me, the guys I think of as cult hero's.

100 per cent agree. He was everything that was wrong with Spurs at the time. An already limited player with his best days behind him.

I was there in the Shelf when he scored a great half volley against the Chavs
Not sure if it sent them down or not but I had a great view of it as we attacked the Paxton and bedlam in the crowd as loads of the fuckers had got in the Shelf
Mitchell Thomas.

Actually, being serious, I have a lot of affection for big Mitch.
But for me, my cult heroes include
Mabbutt
VDV
Lamela
Jan Vertonghen
Dawson
All for slightly different reasons, but a common theme: I really like it when players still obviously care about our club after they have left - it shows that we were more than just a pay cheque. I love it when former players talk about “we” in commentary. I met Daws last summer and his kids were wearing replica Spurs shirts. For me, that’s the sort of thing that makes a cult hero. One of us.
When they first arrived, I think Ardiles (and Villa) were treated with suspicion by football fans other than Spurs fans, simply because they were foreigners who most of late '70s England didn't really warm to...
But WE did!
Roll on to 1982, he was booed from pillar to post BECAUSE he was an Argentinian in the wrong country at the wrong time....
But SPURS fans still loved him.
I think that closes the case for the defence m'lud!

In 1982 I remember going to Forest and the racial abuse he received was disgraceful
We lost 2-0 I think with Nigel Cloughie having an outstanding game
Mitchell Thomas also played well but it was a depressing day
Clough made his debut in 84.
Zakora mate
Who am I thinking of then?
Who the fuck was I thinking of then?
Scored one goal and I don’t think that Mitchell Thomas was playing
time!!
