Early use of the term 'Fulhamish'

But not perhaps as expected.  This from a 1935 Football Who's Who:



So "Fulhamish" was in fact our telephone telex address. Well I'll be...

yeah i knew this..  but great to see it in some old text...   it is in all the older programes too.. Good stuff..

It was actually our telegram address. Telegrams were an early form of express delivery and were delivered by Telegram Boys. youngster who sped around on thier bycycles. I suppose that could be construed as telex.

What does the "Walgreen" bit refer to?

[Peabody]

I think it was in the Walham Green postal area.

...Walham Green was the postal area, shared by the dark side whose original stadium (also designed by Archibald Leitch) is sometimes referred to as WGDT or "Walham Green Dog Track" as they used to have a dog track around the perimeter of their pitch...

Fulham Broadway Underground Station was known as Walham Green.

...and to add to the telegraphic address Fulham FC's telephone number used to be RENown5621.

I see the directory incorrectly shows Craven Cottage as having been the ground since 1898 as opposed to 1896..!

Very interesting posting. I think all those members of the Old Sod's Army would be aware of this. As with the siting of those famous Bovril signs....

Yesterday, I noticed for the first time that there's a really old Fulham picture up in the Whistle and Flute in Putney. It's a shot taken of the crowd walking to the Hammersmith End turnstiles by Eternit Wharf which takes in the side of the Johnny Haynes stand and the terraces on the Hammersmith End. The pic was taken in 1910, a real great image. The ground looks absolutely huge in it compared to now...

Has anyone seen this image before?

And I thought the first use of 'Fulhamish' was Neville Chamberlain realizing world war II broke out.  093.gif

No, that was Tosh Chamberlain on realising he scored a hat trick on his debut but still managed to lose the bloody game :down_under:
