After all these years (Came here with McBride), I just wanted to say to the nay sayers, I am still here!  Fulham looking good this year!
I played in the first match I ever saw!

Been a supporter since 1970 had some great times and some awful times. This team has the chance to be the best one of all in those 54 years. Here is something for the older supporters like me to reminisce and the younger ones to see what they missed.

1953! What a great record of support. Beats me hollow, 1961 (ish).

I will raise you all to 1949 becoming more regular in 1951. I tell the story that the first game I ever saw at Craven Cottage as a little boy did not involve Fulham. It was GB v France in the 1948 Olympics. GB managed by the great Mat Busby.

I watched the reserves and youth team in 1953. My dad wouldn't let me go to the league games as I was "too small".

Wow, that's amazing. The Cottage must have been very different back then ?

Not by much! My earliest memory of Fulham is my Dad saying he would take me a long to see this young player called Johnny Haynes. I wish my Dad had kept the programmes for all those prewar games he went to.

It was. The terraces were covered in peanut shells dropped by the fans!
