Quote from: iansthailand on September 07, 2026, 02:59:05 AMCongrats Mr. P. and many more we all hope. Beats my 70 years. I've got to thank Roy Bentley for my support, what motivated you to follow our great club?

Accident really,I was 7, my a dad died in June, my uncle from Liverpool was waiting for demob and decided to take me to a football match. Thankfully Fulham was ar home. My goodness, it could have been QPR, I shudder at the thought

Just to add it is not my actual birthday, just my actual birthday birthday.

Well done old lad. I'm 85 but have only served for 72 years I was VERY little Ern so not allowed to attend the Cottage till I was 13. I could claim to have supported from home before that, but only attendance confirms it. I did get to see the Maestro play at under 21 level where the crowd was much smaller.

Congratulations Sir. Makes my 69 years supporting into perspective. Fully agree with your comments. Those of us who were around during the mid Sixties to the late Ninety's could only dream of being where we are today.

The Old Count

Many congratulations sir. The 61 years since my first match at the cottage (3 -1 v Bolton) pales against yours. The fact that we've shared the highs and lows of supporting our wonderful club cheers me enormously.

Happy Fulhamday, Peabody!  ::scarf::

Moot point when i started supporting Fulham. Someone said it's on your first game which was v Blackpool 29th August 1959 so on that criterion i've only done 67 years. I still believe you should count when you were first interested and that was when we signed Roy Bentley September 1956.
How many Americans count when we signed Dempsey et al as when they started supporting FFC not when they first saw them play live? I believe their support started then.

Congratulations Sir. I am 81 and number 73 years through thick and wafer thin. I have no idea of which game was my first but I do recall my Father saying before leaving home, 'Fulham have this really good young player called John Haynes.....'

Not a bad judge your father Mr. Bog. My favourite after Roy Bentley is Allan Clarke. Thin as a matchstick but hard as nails and could score goals.

Morning Sir, You may like to know that I went to a junior school with Roy's daughter. Whenever I saw him at the school gates he looked massive! Totally agree about Allan 'sniffer' Clarke.

Happy birthday Peabody. I was 86 last week and have supported Fulham for 77 years Not bad having had a West Ham supporting father and the remainder of our Fulham based family supporting Chelsea.
