Fulham Players Born In Fulham

[timdraper]

My great grandfather of the same name as me, Tim Draper and I believe cousin Ted Draper lived in Star Lane beside the ground . Known as Tim Draper his full name was Alfred Timm Draper, he  played for Fulham St Andrews when it was a church team until 1901 when Fulham FC was established at Craven Cottage .
Theres a fairly recent article on the Hammersith and Fulham Gov website which describes games of the time in humorous detail.  It may be on this site by now.

Not a Fulham Player but born in Fulham was Leeds Utd Paul Reaney...

...and a bloody good full-back he was, too. Moved to Yorkshire as a kid - a shrewd move as it turned out, as our right-back spot was kind of tied up by an even better one for most of his career.
