Title: Happy Birthday Brede Hangeland
Post by: Friendsoffulham on June 20, 2018, 09:59:18 AM
Who turns 37 today. Brede played 217 times for the Whites, between 2008-2014, scoring 8 times.

What were your memories of Hangeland in a Fulham shirt?

Good player.. but lost a great deal of admiration for him after numerous stories he's released about different players and managers since leaving.

Favourite moment.. I would say his header to equalise against Man Utd after scoring an own goal earlier.

Born in Houston, Texas. Lovely... son of an oilman.

Commanding in the box, quick to react, always worked well with his CB partner, great in the air. What was not to like.

A top man in my book.  I remember him being presented to the crowd when he signed.  Sitting at the front of the Riverside he looked huge as he wandered by.  How we could do with a similar signing now.

Top man.
One of our best ever CB's.

A tremendous centre half for us and his partnership with Hughes was the best we had seen since Gale and Brown.

Never quite understood why Arsenal didn't make a move for him when they obviously needed a rock in the centre of their defence.

Roy's first signing I believe - I witnessed his debut on a freezing night in Bolton, when  he played a crucial part in the  0-0 draw there, and immediately showed  how important he would be to our defensive stability.
