I always remember a photo of two Fulham supporters in a programme around 1966. They were the Pegram brothers carrying a banner in the rain at Nottingham Forest away. The text to the photograph was that to support Fulham was to incur the jibes from supporters of other more successful teams but fans like the Pegrams know no other club. The game was called off, they were drenched, they were Fulham.
Cue forward to last year when Jamie was teased at football training for supporting a cr-p team. He and all of us experienced arguably the happiest and most enjoyable day of our history at Wembley. The club, the team and above all the supporters did us all proud. Here are photos of some of the 1879 ers and their families at Wembley or in the case of Matthew Jacobs at his wedding on our day of days.

What a great day, a day I’m sure we all have our own memories, winning has to be the pinacle but what made it even more special was (as David Daly said) being part of the largest collective of Fulham fans ever. Our fans were just outstanding and blows away some of the bad days. For me having 3 generations there.

David, Everybody in the photo was part of the Woodall party – mostly family but also including four friends flown in from New Jersey – 23 in all. What a day in every respect. The magnitude of the White Wall was simply overwhelming – where did they all come from?
Possibly the best day ever.

Still buzzing.
What a wonderful day.
The team did us proud.
A few photos of the 3 generations of the Fulham family.
Cheers

Here’s a video at the final whistle of stressed-and-relieved Quinn, Faith, Lily, Maddy and Chris Whitman.
Frankfurt International School student and former Fulham STHer Cyril Preudhomme with Chris Whitman at a track meet in Munich two days before the Wembley final. Cyril had stopped Chris to compliment his hat and talk up the final. Cyril’s father was headed to London for the big day.
The day before the Wembley final, this is Fulham legend Edwin van der Sar already dressed for the Wall of White. Our former ‘keeper is bestowing a gold medal upon young Maddy Whitman (4 x 400 relay, European international schools championship in Munich) and assuring her that our lads would take care of business at Wembley.
