I’ve supported them avidly ( from a distance ) ever since

My father encouraged me to watch / enjoy / even play skilful football so I’ve always had a soft spot for Brazil ( and Spain ) .

Alan Hudson was before my time. But I know of his talent. A player that probably should have got more caps than he did.

A bit of a maverick player by all accounts.

He was about 30 years ahead of his time .. he was outstanding even though the play back then was brutal if we’re being honest

CBs were allowed a few kicks at the opposition strikers even before a verbal warning

Fulham was an affordable ground to take our boys to watch Chamionship/Premier football when they were young….it was a family friendly club too.

Yes…when I first went to a game with my now husband…he was a Chelsea fan as he played for Chelsea as a youth team player. The fans at Chelsea were so much moreaggressive and I honestly didn’t enjoy it.
Fulham are known as a quieter fan base and it was a whole different experience…we have grown to be massive Fulham fans…

The Broadway bar was one of my favourite pubs in London. They had bar staff that spoke to you if the place was empty.. which it usually was on my visits. The posh resteraunt over the road and down a tiny street from it was also very pleasant.
