Title: The subtle thing that needs acknowledging..
Post by: General on June 04, 2026, 09:05:40 PM

I appreciate a lot is going on around the club, and it's a pivotal time, and I know there's nuance to it, but I was just watching a England arrival video on youtube and saw Josh King arrive - yes, he's not capped and is just there for the bit before the world cup, but as he arrived he did so at the same time as Djed Spence.

Probably doesn't get the recognition as Spence has played at different clubs since and is now at spurs, but quite something to have two Fulham academy graduates in the England setup at the same time. Wonder when the last time that happened was, or even if it has?

A proud moment for those in the Academy I imagine and a healthy sign of the club doing the right things. Great to see.

yup
4 players who came through fulhams Academy in the England camp is pretty impressive going. Painful that we released Eze though 😂

We signed Dan Burn from Darlington and he'd already made his league debut for them.

Yeah but played with the U21s at Fulham for a season at least. Think he played for Darlington as a kid.

It's obvious that Tuchel has worked it out that England don't win the World Cup without having a Fulham player present.  :slap:
George Cohen 66 since then Nada.
