Last week marked the return of Matt Rowell, and with it, the memes. In the lead up to the Suns and Dockers match, the internet was back at it with the Rowell obsession.
Since his debut, Rowell has just played the seven games but he captured the hearts of everyone. In his first four games he produced three straight best on ground performances, and has since achieved cult status in the AFL.

Let's take a look at some other cult figures in footy, obscure, forgotten and memorable. Some who won't make the list will be who were/are well known, such as Brendan Fevola, Barry Hall and Dane Swan.
3. Peter Bosustow
A little obscure but Bosustow definitely left his mark, 'The Buzz' played just 65 games, over three seasons for Carlton.
He kicked 146 goals and played in two premierships in 1981-82. In his first year in VFL, he won both Mark of the Year and Goal of the Year.
He had a much longer career in the WAFL, playing 141 games for Perth over two stints.
