June 21 is a notable date for Manchester City fans because Bermuda declared it Shaun Goater day in honour of the former Blues striker.

City paid just £400,000 for Goater from Bristol City in 2003 - around what Yaya Toure earns in two weeks - and it proved to be one of the club's best bargains.

He managed 103 goals in 189 games as he helped drag the Blues from the depths of football's third tier to the Premier League.

And his famous song "feed the Goat and he will score" is still sung with a smile by many-a City fan.

He might not have been the most technically precise players ever to have donned the Blue shirt - certainly compared with the recent vintage - but his knack of being in the right place at the right time proved invaluable.

And his derby goal in 2002, when he pick-pocketed Gary Neville on the by-line before scoring past Fabien Barthez, is an all-time favourite.

Goater heads the list of a long line of cult heroes for Manchester City - here is a look at some of the others:

Pablo Zabaleta: One of the rare, pre-takeover Blues that has ridden the club's revolution and emerged at the top of his game. A banner in his honour reads Corazon de Leon - heart of a lion - and he has added guile to graft to become the 2012-13 player of the season.

Georgie Kinkladze: Fantastically talented player who lit up Maine Road from 1995-98. His solo goal at Southampton in 1996 had a touch of the Maradonas about it, perhaps the best example of his remarkable dribbling skills.

Ali Benarbia: Algerian playmaker Benarbia was a joy to watch for City fans as the Blues romped to the First Division title in 2001-02 with 99 points and 108 goals scored from 46 games. Many of those were created by the all-seeing Benarbia, whose weight of pass and vision were poetry in motion at times.

Uwe Rosler: German striker who was a shining light for City during some tough seasons. He scored a memorable derby goal in the 1995-96 season. He wasn't blessed with great pace, but he was fully committed to the Blues' cause.

Glauber Berti: City's famous terrace chant is "We're not really here" and fans may be forgiven that Berti never really was at City! He made just one appearance for the Blues, coming on for the last six minutes against Bolton in May 2009.

Who is your all-time favourite cult hero? Have your say.
