The fulham Facts Thread

I figured I would start a Fulham Facts thread and I'll throw in a random fact about the club for those who are interested in supporting the Cottagers. If you find one yourself, just throw it it.

Fact:

"Fulham FC are in fact the oldest professional football club from the London area, which may suprise many as many believe the bigger clubs (Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc) are older."

 

Fulham started playing at "Craven Cottage" in 1896

 

Pope John Paul II was reportedly a Fulham fan.

For those in the DC area, WTOP Radio Sportscaster and Wizards and United play-by-play man Dave Johnson is a Fulham fan.

Fulham have gotten 100 points in a season twice. Looking through my books, I don't think anyone else has done that. (I will check.)

 

Fulham Football Club started its existence as Fulham St Andrew's Church Sunday School FC.

 

Mike.I was at a pub quiz last week,and one of the questions was....."Who are the oldest london football team?" We were the only team to get the right answer!!!.And,we won the quiz by one point.Also,Michael Caine used to frequent the Cottage in the 1960's.

George Cohen's son, Ben, was on the England squad that won the Rugby World Cup in 2003. Guess you need a Cohen to win a world cup!

Craven Cottage is featured in the video for 'Beautiful Life', the 1995 single by Swedish Euro-pop band 'Ace of Base'.

Fulham's biggest ever win was on Boxing day 1963, 10-1 vs. Ipswich. The irony involved was FFC hadn't scored a goal in the 5-6 matches previous.
