Fulham, Fulham, Fulham

[General]

I thought it was just Darren Bent who had made the move over...

Then I realised Stockdale had moved over at the beginning of the season and his goalkeeping coach there is none other than Antti Niemi.

Then, they kindly pointed out that Aaron Hughes is at the club..

Seems like the programme is going to be more insightful to us as Fulham fans about our club and ex players than it will be informative about Brighton.

When was the last time the links had been this strong between us and a club and over such a period to encompass a youth(ish) player, an established stalwart (if you can call Hughes that) and Bent an also-ran, but an retired keeper of ours on their coaching staff.

I think you only have to look back to QPR - Zamora, Johnson and a certain ex Fulham manager!

There always seems to be a few connections. Living down in Brighton I always felt the poor relation until Fulham began to turn the tables around. I can remember Digweed and Maybank going there and we had the odd Brighton player. Plus managers and ex players etc.

I think our ex-defender Paul Watson is also a physio there now

[Peabody]

We got the one and only,the great Jimmy Langley from Brighton. Also, did not Micky Adams take a few with him?

[filham]

In the old, old days we took the magnificent Jim Langley from Brighton and they have been trying to restore the balance ever since.

We all like to be beside the seaside.....

I know I do. Love living in Brighton, wouldn't move back to London for anything.

[hovewhite]

[Southcoastffc]

And they even have our ex-Doctor, Stephen Lewis!

Whatever the score tomorrow...Brighton V FFC is a very special fixture for many Fulham fans

Alan Mullery enjoyed some managerial success there also.

I had no idea Lighthouse and BigBadBillyMckinly lived here as well. Mullery is usually at the Brighton home games - I've got a mate who is a chef in the VIP restaurant at the Amex and has a chat with him every game.
JMS - send us a text when you get to the pub and I'll do likewise. Probably head for the Nelson backroom where the Marathonbet bash was around noon.

Peter O'Sullivan came from Brighton for a season and was instrumental in the 81/82 promotion side.  Best free transfer we ever had.

Until Ray Houghton came from WHU on a free the following summer to replace him
