List of Fulham F.C. players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fulham Football Club is an English professional football team based in Fulham in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The club was formed in West Kensington in 1879 as Fulham St Andrew's Church Sunday School F.C., shortened to Fulham F.C. in 1888.[1] They initially played at Fulham Fields before a move to Craven Cottage in 1896; the club played their first professional match in December 1898 and made their FA Cup debut in the 1902–03 season. The club competed in the Southern Football League between 1898 and 1907, when they were accepted into the Football League Second Division.[1] Having spent much of their history outside the top division, the team gained promotion to the Premier League in 2001.[2][3] They spent more than ten seasons in the top flight, and reached the final of the UEFA Europa League in 2010.[4] In 2014 they were relegated to the Championship.[5] They have since spent one further season back in the Premier League in 2018–19 but suffered an immediate return to the Championship.[6][7]

A metal structure composed of a man made of bronze with hands on his hips. One foot is balanced on top of a bronze football. The statue is on an upright brick structure. The word "Haynes" is visible on a sign behind the statue.
Johnny Haynes is Fulham's all-time record appearance maker with 658 matches, scoring 158 goals, and he is often considered Fulham's best-ever player. He was also a committed performer for the England national team, scoring 18 times in his 56 caps. This statue was erected outside Craven Cottage after his death in 2005.

Since the club's first competitive match, 966 players have made an appearance in a competitive match, of which 186 have made at least 100 appearances (including substitute appearances); all players who have reached this milestone are listed below. The record number of appearances is held by Johnny Haynes, who played 658 matches in all competitions, scoring 158 goals, in a career spent entirely at Craven Cottage.[8] Eddie Lowe is the only other player to have played more than 500 matches, although Les Barrett came close with 491 appearances.[9] Gordon Davies is the club's record goalscorer, with 179 goals in 450 matches.[10] Five other players have scored more than 100 goals for Fulham. Ryan Sessegnon, Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, Antonee Robinson, and Harry Wilson are the current squad members who have played over 100 matches for Fulham.

Players

This list contains the 187 players, including five current squad members, as of 22 December 2024, who have made more than 100 appearances for Fulham, ordered by the years in which they played for the club and then alphabetically by surname. The figure for league appearances and goals comprise those in the Southern Football League, the Football League and the Premier League. Total appearances and goals comprise those in the Southern Football League, Football League (including play-offs), Premier League, FA Cup, Football League Cup, Football League Trophy, UEFA Intertoto Cup and UEFA Cup/Europa League. Wartime matches are regarded as unofficial and are excluded, as are matches from the abandoned 1939–40 season. Statistics for the Watney Cup and Anglo-Scottish Cup are not included in the table. International appearances and goals are given for the senior national team only.

Figures are mostly taken from Fulham: The Complete Record by Dennis Turner (published in 2007). UEFA Intertoto Cup and UEFA Cup/Europa League appearance statistics for the 2002–03 and 2009–10 seasons are taken from Soccerbase, along with all other statistics from the 2007–08 season onwards.

Statistics are correct as of 22 December 2024. International statistics correct as of 19 November 2024.
