The all-time Mr nice guy Fulham team

[FC Silver Fox]

Just a bit of closed-season fun to get us thinking: Who would you have in an all-time Mr nice-guy Fulham team? Think in terms of the rapport they have/had with the fans. They can be current or ex-Fulham and aren't necessarily the best players we've ever had. Would Frank Large beat Brian McBride for the N°9 shirt (I can hear you spluttering)?  I think we'll find there will be competition in certain positions like right back (Pantsil or Voltzy perhaps?).  Would Fred Callaghan make left back?
Remember, we're not talking about the players you like because they were the best.

[Snibbo]

George Cohen and Stan Brown would have to be in it.

Alan Slough was a character. 

Please not Frank Large, no matter how nice he was.  His memory is painful. 

More recently, definitely McBride and Hangeland.

I'd leave the Maestro out on the basis that he was apparently a grumpy bugger.

I think a front two of Brian McBride and Ivor would be pretty lethal.

...Tosh Chamberlain, Graham Leggat, Bobby Robson, Fred Callaghan, Les Strong, Gordon 'Ivor' Davies, Rufus Brevett, Sylvain Legwinsky and Moritz Volz - I am sure there are many more, but these stand out for me - Oh and Pescheeeeyyy..!

Gera

[Whiteroom]

Pantsil.

[TheDaddy]

Micky Adams as manager always had time for the fans....

[sunburywhite]

Bobby Moore

[cebu]

Let's not forget Jim Langley.

[MJG]

I always got on well with Martin Pike and Ray Lewington.

[CorkedHat]

Roy Bentley. Arthur Stevens.

[HatterDon]

What about Les Barrett, Ed?

[finnster01]

Alan Mullery  :005:

[OldBrownShoe]

Snibbo please don't leave players out on the basis of "apparently...".  It is not my memory of him or that of my family. Corked Hat would I think be able to confirm The Maestro's very decent. good guy attitude from personal experience.

Julian Hails to be added to the the list please.

I think overall we've been lucky at fulham and have had some nice approachable players, there is the odd exception but most of the ones that have been mentioned I've been lucky enough to of spoken to , so can vouch for those, the ones that really stick out are ray Lew and of course morgs who became a personal friend
Whenever I spoke to the late great Johnny Haynes, he was always a gentleman
Can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned Terry Angus, I was in the stand at orient when Angus was also in the stand and he stood up and started singing, one that may surprise people was steve Keane, always had time for me

As for Les Barrett, he had a flower shop round the corner from me and I popped in there one day not knowing it was his shop, I of course had an Ffc jumper on and when he saw me, had a long chat and gave me a discount on the flowers

thanks for this post, Mr. Southfield. Stories like these need to be told and read by younger [and foreign] supporters.

[OldBrownShoe]

Yes Southfield White, how could we forget Terry Angus. Top man (and legend in the stands giving immense support to our team on the pitch).

...and here is Les Barrett outside his wifes flower shop in Earlsfield:-



To answer you HD, although I saw him play and met him on a few occassions with others I have never actually spoken to him apart from when we were campaigning for a proper statue, and that was over the 'phone. I would be too biased to say he was a nice guy...
