Clive.

Kepler.

If you’re known by just one name, chances are you’re a cult figure.

First, the criteria: By definition, a cult figure is one who is admired despite limited critical success. So at Fremantle, the likes of Doig Medallist Ryan Crowley, former games record-holder Shane Parker and All-Australian Hayden Ballantyne rule themselves out despite big fan followings.

As we celebrate 25 years of the Dockers, here’s our power rankings of the club’s cult heroes across the past quarter of a century.

Just four appearances, but a legacy never forgotten by some die-hard Dockers fans. Wolf is famous for the tribunal defence of “I was too unco-ordinated to hit the bloke” amid his handful of games in Fremantle’s inaugural 1995 campaign. The best-and-fairest medal at Freo fan website Dockerland is named in his honour.

9: Kingsley Hunter

Before Quinten Lynch was leading out from a WA side’s forward line with a glove, Hunter was doing it in style. One way to endear yourself to the fans is to boot seven of your team’s nine goals in a 100-point loss, like Hunter did in a game against the Pies at Victoria Park in 1997. He’s now playing coach for Stirling in the Perth Football League C2 comp, spending most of his time deep in the forward line.

8. Dion Woods

One of those players who promised plenty, and had natural talent to burn, but never really delivered on his immense potential. Woods’ lanky long arms and languid approach out of defence featured in 59 appearances between 2001 and 2005.

7. Scott Thornton

This guy’s whole career was gutsy. Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in 2004, Thornton fought and scrapped his way to 88 games in purple across eight years. He built a cult following with some fans due to his distinct look, ungainly style and never-say-die attitude.

6. Winston Abraham

Camera Icon Winston Abraham was a high flyer.

This is the complete list of players to have won both Mark of the Year and Goal of the Year in the AFL era: Michael Mitchell, Tony Modra, Matthew Lloyd, and Winnie Abraham. The Dockers only got three years and 38 games of Abraham goodness before he moved to the Kangaroos, but his breathtaking aerial game and potency around goals made him one of the early fan favourites.

5. Andrew Wills

Show the crowd some love and they will show you some love back. Wills was among Freo’s first highlight-worthy players, with a bit of mongrel mixed in the the ability to do some freakish things. How about the below goal and celebration, arms outstretched to the crowd, seemingly asking, ‘Are you not entertained?’ If you can make your coach smile in the box, you know you’re doing something right.

4. Matthew Burton

Camera Icon Spider Burton had a decent height advantage.

When you’re the tallest player to have reached the highest level - to that point in AFL history, at least - you’re going to have a fan club. ‘Spider’ never became one of the game’s most dominant ruckmen despite his 210cm frame, but his story was too big to ignore: A man overlooked for a game at the Eagles who flew for the very first ruck tap in Dockers history.

3. Scott Chisholm

A famous smile and silky skills are enough to get you on this list. But to get to No.3? How about the incredible nickname of ‘The Prince of Pockets’ due to his revealing of his links to the British Royal Family? Chisholm remains one of the club favourites from the early era, despite only spending four seasons in the west before crossing to Melbourne.

2. Kepler Bradley

The only Kepler to play AFL/VFL football. Ever. The West Perth product had a lofty reputation when he went to Essendon with pick 6 in the 2003 draft before heading west in 2008. Bradley’s odd hunched figure was instantly recognisable, and his ‘tweener’ status as a ruckman / forward / utility helped fans dream of him one day achieving AFL domination. Maybe that’s the reason for a fan’s dubbing of this track:

1. Clive Waterhouse

Camera Icon Clive. Say no more. Credit: WA News

This man needs no introduction. Clive warranted his own separate chapter when Matt Price wrote his book about Fremantle’s history in 2003. He was an enigma: Spectacular at times, including a seven-goal derby display in a famous win over West Coast, but also frustrating at others. He never lived up to the expectation associated with being the No.1 draft pick in 1995, but he is unquestionably one of the greatest cult figures of the AFL era. Clive had the blonde hair, the high-flying antics, the mercurial nature, the ability to make the difficult look simple, and sometimes, the simple look difficult.
