who was your first Fulham hero

[gang]

Tony Macedo.

[bigalffc]

Started supporting the whites in '58. Johnny Haynes was the biggest thing in football ever. He could split a defence in two with a shrug of his shoulders. later Georgie Cohen was my hero and the man I tried to copy when playing RB . I even used to run with my elbows out. Wonderful days.

Luis boa for me

[aaronmcguigan]

Paul Peschisolido. 👍🏻

[Keynsham]

John Marshall.

First match was 1968 Fulham 4 Burnley 3. I was torn between JH, LB & Allan Clarke. Settled on Clark - thought it 'looked stylish to wear my shorts slipped down on waist, in the days shorts were really short to make them look longer - clearly a fashion trend setter lookibg at todays shorts:Get Coat gif:
Switched to LB when he left for Leicester. He clearly influenced me as I ended up playing No 11 but always saw myself as a Keegan type CF

Can't separate them.
Haynes
Leggatt
Macedo

[Dodgin]

In the day's of no subs, remember an injured Jimmy Langley playing on the wing,
Got to give it to Peabody never did see Ronnie Rooke

All the 60's team were my heroes, with my scrapbook of photos I would get signed, with a piece written about each player - like 'Eddie Lowe hails from Halesowen...', or 'Johnnie Haynes has represented his country at all levels of the game...'

Obviously JH, and Graham Leggat and Tony Macedo, but since I myself  played left-half (defensive midfielder) it was the defensive players I saw as role models. Like Alan Mullery, George Cohen and Jim  Langley, with his long throws and overhead kicks.

But Eddie 'Sticks' Lowe was a player I particularly modelled myself on in those early Fulham supporting days. He played  left-half too, though  ended up as a cb, skinny legs pumping as he chased down an attacker, and then perfectly executed a sliding tackle to  get the ball, while, legally, bringing down the player.

I also used to admire him and Alan Mullery for their engines and enthusiasm, always running and working, battling for the team as well as their passing skill and tackling, of course.

I used to practise the slide tackles of  Eddie and Jim Langley when playing games with mates in the park.

I have had many Fulham heroes since, but nothing compare to how I revered those players I first saw wearing the white shirt, and whose autographs I would  queue for.

Yes that was against Sheffield United and we won 3 1. Jimmy Langley had quite a bad ankle injury but soldiered on through thick and thin.
Wouldn't see that happen today if all the subs were used, they roll over holding their faces when they sustain a broken finger nail.

When I first started going I took a liking to Robbie Herrera straight away. But when I was 12 we signed Boa and he's been my hero ever sense. He's the only player I think I'd cry if I got to meet again lol.

Dunno about a hero - but there are plenty of players out there who cry at the thought of meeting Michael Brown again.  096.gig

[Fulham Tup North]

I always liked Viv Busby, only because I liked his name!!
That '75 team were all heroes !!!

Lol. He's gotta be the player I'm most ashamed to say wore the white shirt and had the armband for a season!

Haynes
Leggatt
Macedo

That would be exactly the same as my dad...

[keith]

Allan Clarke and, later, Vic Halom.

[Sir Alec of good Stock]

Julian Hails for me. I thought he was excellent. Then I saw Paul Broker replace him due to injury against Swansea in cup.... wow.... that was a debut

7-0

[Ronnief]

First watched the team in 1957 but can't say I had a favorite player until Steve Earle came along.  He would surely fit today's team with his style of play.
Malcolm MacDonald was the only player who caused me to write a letter to the club exalting his center forward play.  They ignored me and sold him for peanuts.

Robbie Herrera. Played left back most of my footballing youth because of him.
