Interesting notes

Football First on BBC was live from Craven Cottage. Interesting points that I gathered...

1. This was the first grounds that Pele played on in England
2. The dressing rooms are hilariously small. I have not had a tour yet, but some of the jersey's are hung over the windows due to lack of space. Appears the original architect forgot them in his drawings. No bigger than my current living room.
3 They are trying out new footballs for the Premier League today at the Cottage. I have no idea what the new balls are supposed to do.
4. Fulham have had 8 homes.
5. The grounds used to be wooded and were hunting grounds for the nobles. Ann Boleyn supposedly used it.
6. Fulham used to have a Rugby team.
7. Haynes was the first player to earn £100/wk and said he never received another raise thereafter.

Anyway, this is what the talking head said this morning.

 

I was actually at Craven Cottage the night Fulham played Santos and Pele, took my sister to her one and only football match she moaned the whole game about how cold it was.

Fulham did in fact have a Rugby LEAGUE team and I saw them games too, League and Union are two differant games of Rugby.

Don would know all about Ann Boleyn he's a LOT Older than me???
