[Old timer]

Well they had that as well but if not enough then add Jimmy Hill and Eddie Lowe?

Just beginning the definitive book about Johnny Haynes by Ken Cotton and others. Wonderful photos of Johnny as a young player. In his district rep team he was half the size of the other players. Oh to see footage of the schoolboy international at Wembley in 1950 when he first burst onto the scene.  :54:

Surprised no mention of John Pantisil so far.  Very much a character but I didn't become Fulham until 15 years ago so I only know players before that time from you lot.

[Barrett487]

Best & Marsh were certainly characters, as was Bullard.

[filham]

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

So right, loyal to us all through such a bad period and a really hard grafting defender. I wonder where he is now.

[filham]

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

Yes, when drafting my team I did hesitate between Rufus and Jim Langley.
We havn't had a better left back than him since he moved on.

[Holders]

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

And Paul Went, out of the same mould.

[filham]

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

Mullery was a top player and really fits into this category on his return from Spurs when he proved such a good leader.

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

Wasnt the header aginst West Brom at the Hammy end?

[gang]

Maurice Cook, always enjoyed Haynes glaring at him.

[OldBrownShoe]

Tosh, Langley, Lawler, Keetchie, the Maestro, Terry Angus, Dracula Hewkins, Arthur Stevens, the irrepressible David Lloyd, The Traveller, Mo Cook, Rufus, Barry Hayles, Boa, Melvin Tenner, and loads more.  049:gif

It was  at the Hammy End, I was close to it and had a perfect view.

Terry Angus is a good shout.
Remember him, when he was injured getting in amongst our fans at Orient, I think

[OldBrownShoe]

One thing often forgotten about the much underrated and tough tackling Bobby Keetch is that few opposition "centre forwards"  would go near him. Off the pitch he was a charming and cultured man, very interested in art, but few high cost strikers kept their distance  in matches.  :bump:

[blingo]

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.?

Pantsil was class, as was Rufus. Unsung hero from the bad old days of late 80's early 90's was Jeff Eckhardt. A real 100 percenter. And Gary Brazil.

John Paintsil, that lap after the final whistle was just outstanding

[mrmicawbers]

Roger Brown deserves a mention imo.What a man.

[filham]

Roger Brown deserves a mention imo.What a man.

Roger Brown was a great character and the Gale/Brown partnership at centre back was superb, possibly as good as the more recent Hangeland Hughes .
Can't remember a centre back scoring as many goals as Brown did for us in that promotion season.

Our centre backs don't seem to score goals these days.

[clarkey]

Got to have Bobby Keetch, Fred Callaghan, Les Strong and of course Allan Clarke to put his hands on his hips when Haynes failed to pass to him. Patsil too !
