Fulham Alumni Report

can you append my post to that thread?

 

Thanks! You da Man!

 

The Little Aeroplane leads Sevilla against Jose's United. I thought he was a brilliant footballer, one of many who just didn't have the physicality required in England.

 

Well, might as well resurrect this thread. I thought we had a more recent Fulham Alumni page, but ... .

Anyhow, here's a nice article on Dan Burn, the CB not good enough for us but good enough to shut down Man City's attack in the FA Cup.

and, if you're reading this and the previous comment, have a look at the whole thread. There's a lot of former players whose names will make you smile as well as posters who I miss terribly on these pages.

 

Jack Grimmer -- who I always hoped would mature into Fulham's club captain -- scored today for Coventry City to help them get promoted to League 1. Nice one, Jack.

Mah boy Cauley scored his first goal for Barnsley in the first round of the FA Cup. It was described in glowing terms on BBC's football page. I didn't see him on the team sheet until the match before the cup tie when he came on as a substitute. Perhaps the start and goal will lead to more appearances.

 

damn; I hate to read that

 

Cauley scored two more today in an FA Cup tie. After starting the season not in the game day squad, and then only having two starts, this gives him a total of 5 goals ... one every 77 minutes.

 

Good to see that result, SCJ, and -- as long as I'm in the neighborhood -- I was so bored this afternoon as to watch a replay of the Eintract Frankfurt-Bourussia Munchengladback match on Fox Sports Plus. It was an entertaining match, but made even better by listening to the dulcit tones of the "color announcer" Moritz Volz.

"He's an alien; a humorous Westphalian. He's a German man in West London."

 

I know many of you wonder whether I'm related to the kid, but he's having a great season, and this is a good read.

Watching Borussia Dortmund v. Augsburg now and saw a familiar name in the Augs XI -- Kostas Stafylidis is their LB, and was our regular in that position in the 14-15 season.

 

and he goes off injured in the 16th minute ... sigh
