Fulham Favourites/Characters

[filham]

Think of those special characters/ favourites we have loved over the years. I don't mean our best players, nationally acclaimed players  or most expensive buys but those that have always played there hearts out and given us pleasure because of their character and effort.
Here is my team of my personal favourites :-


                                                          Jim Stanard
                           George Cohen   Roger Brown  Fred Callaghan   Jim Langley
                                    Jimmy Hill      Ray Lew      Boa  Tosh Chamberlin         
                                                 Brian McBride    Ivor

Please lets have your team of all time heart warming players.

Much of the above, but find a place for Bobby Keetch and Stan Brown from that era.

Stan Brown ,of course always gave his best and able to play in different positions. At the back of my mind is a wonderfully headed goal while playing at centre forward, made remarkable because of his lack of height.
Just a little hesitant about Keetch, with him in our side today we would have opponents diving all over the pitch within minutes of the KO

Was thinking about this earlier,  far from the best but my favourites as a kid, Peter Scott,  Cliff Carr, Gerry Peyton, Jim Stannard, even Clive Walker

Terry Angus, Robbie Herrera

There has to be a place for The Maestro. The likes we have never seen since. He was & will always be Mr Fulham. How many other one club players have we had.?

I would think for anyone who stood on the revered terraces in the long gone '50's it has to be Tosh.  :54:

They wouldn't need to dive Keetch would have kicked them down.

But what about Charlie Mitten and Arthur Stevens with Jezzard and Bobby Robson with Haynes completing our 'forward' line?

Got to be Ivor for his cheeky grin and deadly finishing. No mention of Stan Horne our first black player and no nonsense centre half. Jimmy Conway and Les Barrat and finally Brian McBride always remember that wave to the crowd as he was carried off injured after scoring a goal.

I can't comment about alot of the other players that have been mentioned as not in my era but my grandad assures me that all that have been mentioned are worthy of the recognition.

Old Bow Legs Jimmy Langley. Remember one game where Macedo asked where the ball had come from and Langley indicated "between his legs. Killer Keetch was always good value and Jim Stannard was a goalie with a sense of fun. Coming onto the pitch wearing giant glasses. Probably get booked today.

Is that Kick Off or Knock Out?

I think Johnny Haynes will top almost any Fulham poll you can think of but I thought this one was more for those players not blessed with his extreme talent but made up for it with effort ,character and even humour. For me Tosh tops this poll.

You are from my era, Haynes, Robson Jezzard. Wow, our best strike force ever, Newcastle wanted to buy the three of them I understand.
Sorry they are just too good for this thread which is not for the best but for those we remember more for effort and character.

Fully agree, there has never been anyone since who you could take to your heart as much as Tosh.

I'm putting in a word for Vic Halom. "ave im Vic"

[Ronnief]

I think Simon Morgan should be well up there on the list and no one has mentioned him. 092.gif

Rufus!!! Always guaranteed to spark a game into life, whether a  cracking tackle, surging run or a bit of a dust up. 🙂

I agree with Stan Brown and of course JH. Even though he left foe a few years, Alan Mullery.
