    Probably, but it may be one of those cults, that regularly embarrass themselves by predicting the end of the world.

    Sanford Wheeler!!! Surely dreadlocks & riding a skateboard to training satisfies the criteria?

    I believe he was also American.. Would have been a cult figure if he was not one of the worse footballers to ever play for the red and white. Should have taken skateboarding as a profession.

    He was Matthew Wheeler for a while too. Back in the States now I think.

    He was born in in the US (African American) & his dad moved over when he was young.

    He started his career as Matthew then changed his name from Matthew to Sanford halfway through his career. He is back in the States now, did quite well in finance post playing days, working for Merril Lynch. Last I heard he's was manager, or some such, there.

    Has anyone else noticed that Aliir has Inspector-Gadget-like arms? He has a reach to rival Dustin Martin, another attribute which is making life difficult for his opponents.

    Another thing I noticed about Allir Allir, is that when he sprints away, the opposition never look like catching him, yet he does not appear to be that fast!
    Could be wrong though!

    Allir is like a defender version of Scott Pendlebury. Just the way he stands there for a nanosecond, looks around then makes his move.
