Hi
Was wondering if any fans on here in their mid 60's upwards and who wish to chat about their fulham memories would get in touch with me.
If you live in London or in the South East of England at least and are interested, could you send me a PM to discuss a project i'm working on.
Thanks
Mike.
I would if I could work out how to send a PM.

Hi just sent to a PM
I could well be interested as a supporter for 67 years, but also am showing my age by not having a clue what a PM is.
Is it a Personal Message?
If I am correct I must have had a cle!

I've got a story from 1975 the cup 1/4 final at Carlisle. But the story is not directly related to the game.
It's about an incident en route back to the station after the game --- are you interested???

I am 61 1/2, is that too young. Delighted to help if I can.
I am interested I live in Devon although this new fangled inter web thing does come in useful, if not I suppose there is always the old fashioned telephone or we could meet before a game for a face to face, depends what sort of story's you ar looking for.
PM sent
Once upon a time........Sorry MJ couldn't resist it. :dft001:

Hey Mike, what about us 'not far off 60s' supporters?
Also I could probably get some interesting stuff off of my ol' Pa whose 81 if I knew what you are after?
Unfortunately, he doesn't go near computers so can't be in touch direct.
I s'pose its all down to info you require for said project whether we can help or not.

Is it necessary we have to live in the areas that you mention, presumably you are putting some sort of reunion together? I obviously have a few special memories I could mention to you but too far to travel from Cornwall!

Dave at the moment it's just the area within easy travel from south west London. But that's not to say we won't be able to sort something out in the future.
I'm the right age but living a bit too far south now - south Australia.
But I could write some stuff up if you're thinking of blogging or newsletter type stuff. If not, no worries. I get back from time to time so you never know.

No problem Mike and thanks for replying.
Hi mike
I have been going down to craven cottage since 1949 so somewhere in that brain of mine there must be a mine of information.
Needs a bit of jogging to get it out at times but would be happy to take part if needed.
For the information of anyone else who may be interested in doing this, I had a chat with Mike this morning giving my agreement.
To get the ball rolling his father phoned me within an hour and will be coming from Twickenham to my house in Stoneligh next Wednesday for the interview and filming.
He told me that it would be very informal and could take two hours to complete
It could be interesting.

Fantastic.
Enjoyed it very much.

Great memories, and a great memory- Denis is a marvel.
Related to his account of starting to support Fulham though from a non Fulham background. That was my memory from the early 60's - going to Fulham and Chelsea games on alternate weeks and trying to get autographs, and finding a completely different atmosphere at Fulham.
Once we were watching the players training at the Cottage, lapping the outside of the snow covered pitch, and some of players starting a snowball fight with us. But at Chelsea you'd be chased outside.
Looking forward to future interviews in this series.
Thanks to Mike and FST.

Cheers Ray, the next video will once again star one of our regular contributors here Mr Peabody (Bill in the real world) and will be on the FST website Monday or Tuesday.
Our second video is now the site at http://fulhamsupporterstrust.com/history/ (http://fulhamsupporterstrust.com/history/)
This week's Fulham fan is Bill Shrimpton, better known as Peabody on here
...Just to remind Bill about his first ever game on the 7th September 1946 watching manager Jack Peart's Fulham amongst a crowd of 26,038 on a cool dull and showery day.
Ernie Shepherd scored the first goal and Ronnie Rooke the second giving Fulham a 2-0 half-time lead. In the second half Luton's Hugh Billington reduced the deficit with his goal. Then Fulham's Jack Watson conceded a penalty by handling in the penalty area and had a chance of leveling the score; however, Fulham goalie Ted Hinton saved from Luton's Frank Soo.
On that day RAF Captain Teddy Donaldson broke the official speed record by flying his Gloster Meteor jet at 615.78 MPH...
Good to put a face to the name.
More great memories, as I would expect from reading Peabody's posts over the years.
I remember the Peabody buildings, as we called them, from where I lived in SE London -school friends lived in them.
I also remember how the Fulham area, and football, has changed, and how there wasn't the difference and barriers between fans and players there is today, though I didn't start supporting Fulham until the early 60's, quite a bit later than Peabody.
Thanks to all concerned.
Peabody's memories are priceless, and it's such a brilliant idea to film these life-long fans speaking for us all to see and appreciate, and for these to be part of a supporters' archive - a unique oral history of Fulham FC, told by the ones who are most important - the fans.
My father is filming third person tomorrow and then hopefully another later this week so it's rolling along.
We are looking at some other ideas to expand on this and if anyone wants to get involved let me know.

Thanks for that Ed. I may have been at the Cottage, but I certainly wasn't in the plane.
The 3rd Video in this series is now available and has Bob Hughes (bobbo) and Harry Crump talking all things Fulham
http://fulhamsupporterstrust.com/history/ (http://fulhamsupporterstrust.com/history/)
More great Fulham memories - thanks.
A push for the latest Video and a call out as well to anyone who wants to take part. Drop me a PM.
I'm looking for fans now with FA Cup run memories, The Fulham Park Rangers time as well.

The 4th Video in this series is now available to watch.
http://fulhamsupporterstrust.squarespace.com/history/ (http://fulhamsupporterstrust.squarespace.com/history/)
Our next contributor to the history project is Phil Mison who many may remember as the LBC and Sky commentator. He takes us into the dark period when Fulham slipped down the league but gives us an animated vision of the Micky Adams period and a good explanation of why he thinks Al Fayed took over Fulham.
Absolutely brilliant interview with Mr Mison. The things us fans didn't know!!!!. Thank you.

Thanks Keith, it was an intereting video just like the others and it paints a very decent picture of the 80's and 90's at Fulham
willing to help but like many others don't know how to PM
I'm 68 but live in France now. I come back now and then!
