Fulham will say goodbye to one legend tonight against Rotherham - while they hope another is in the making watching from the stands.

Slavisa Jokanovic will attend his first game as Whites new head coach as the club honours the passing of Jimmy Hill, former player, chairman, TV pundit and revolutionary of the game.

Hill died aged 87 on December 19 after a long battle with Alzheimer's, but chairman Shahid Khan plans a celebration of the man who preceded him in the 1990s.

Khan addressed fans through a club statement.

"Many of your recollections of Jimmy are priceless and timeless," he said. "

I thank you for them and hope that you will find our tribute to Jimmy, from the features in the official programme to the pre-match ceremony, to be respectful of his countless contributions to Fulham and the game of football in England."

Former Watford boss Jokanonvic runs the rule over his new charges, winless in nine games and more than seven weeks since Fulham sacked Kit Symons.
