Well done sean! For a medium sized club we seem to have had a lot of ties with the england set up over the years.

Haynes
Robson
Keegan
Hodgson
Lewington
Roberts winning u17 euros

to name a few. A decent amount of players called up to for all levels, not on the same par as JH but quite a healthy number in our history.

I reckon about 40 players that have represented fulham have been called up for england at least once in their careers.

Very good manager, who gets his team playing good football.... This is good for England to be hiring good footballing coaches to our younger ranks.

Oh maybe I am talking about the other O Driscoll.....

Needs to lighten up a bit - got a very hard time off the media when at Bristol City - didn't respond well - a bit wacky in fact.

But good on him.  Hopefully day to day pressures off.

I remember going down to Bath City on the TBT to see Noisy's debut in a friendly at Twerton Park where he scored a couple.

A quality player for the club and has gone to become a good manger although it hasn't worked out for him at a couple of clubs.

Congratulations Noisy!

England are dire under the joint ex FFC "messiahs"-surprised they get away with it.

No one seems to have mentioned Paul Bracewell who coached the England U17's at one stage.

Hes on the list for playing for england a couple of times. Didnt he win the u21 euros in the 80's?

Always liked Sean. He would get in my all-time FFC 'favourites' (not necessarily 'best') team. Good luck to him.

One of today's papers saying that Sean will be leaving his role as boss of England's under 19's and could become Brendan Rodgers assistant at Liverpool.
Good move for him?

been reading the Liverpool fans views. In a nutshell they have no idea who he is and when they look at his record its WTF is that!!!

A big Fulham favourite, Joe Bacuzzi played 13 wartime internationals before being called up himself.

Yes quite amazing for a smaller club. We have also produced a fair few players that went on to management at various clubs in the last few years. I cant remember all of them off the top of my head but Rosenior, Adams, Money, O'Driscol and a few more besides.
