About Fulham F.C. in brief
Fulham Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Fulham, London. Founded in 1879, they are London’s oldest football club playing professionally. They currently compete in the Premier League, the highest level of the English football league system. Fulham have reached two major finals: in 1975 they lost 2–0 against West Ham United in the FA Cup Final as a Second Division team, and in 2010 they played Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Europa League Final. The club adopted a white shirt and black socks as its kit in 1903, which has been used ever since. They are one of the oldest established clubs in southern England currently playing professional football, though there are many non-league sides like Kent side Cray Wanderers who are several decades older. They won the Southern League twice, in 1905–06 and 1906–07. In 1926, Fulham became the first British team to sell hot dogs at their ground at Torquay, doing so by doing so so doing so with the chairmanship of Arsenal. During this period, businessman and politician Gus Mears rejected an offer from businessman Henry Norris to move Fulham to his own ground at Stamford Bridge. After finishing fifth, seventh and seventh in their first three seasons in the Third Division, Fulam won the South Division in the 1931–32 season. In the 1933–34 season, they won the Fourth Division and were promoted to the First Division, where they remained until the end of the 1950s.
The first recorded all-white club kit came in 1903 and ever since then the club has been playing in all- white shirts and black shorts, with socks going through various evolutions of black andor white, but are now normally white-only. They were the third club from London to turn professional, following Arsenal, then named Royal Arsenal 1891, and Millwall in 1893. They gained professional status on 12 December 1898, the same year that they were admitted into the Southern League’s Second Division. In 1927–28 when the club were relegated to the 3rd Division South, created in 1920, they played their first game against now defunct rivals Minerva. In their first league game, playing in the Second Division’s 1907–08 season, saw them lose 1–0 at home to Hull City in September 1907. Two years later, the club won the London Challenge Cup in the 1909–10 season, until in 1927-28 when they were relegated from Division Two to Division One. The next season they finished fourth in Division Two, their highest finish for 21 years, until they finished fifth in Division One in the 1930–31 season. The following season they were promoted back to the 2nd Division, and finished third in the 1934–35 season. Fulam were the first non-British player to appear in The Football League, though he only played one game for Fulham in 1911, marked with a goal, afterwards playing for non- League Dulwich Hamlet.
