Fulham history

Founded in 1879, Fulham are the oldest professional football club in London.

Before joining the Football League's Second Division in 1907, Fulham won two Southern League First Division titles, in 1905-06 and 1906-07.

Johnny Haynes starred as Fulham held a top-flight place from 1958-59 until back-to-back relegations by 1969. The team reached the 1974-75 FA Cup final, then moved up and down between the fourth and second tiers until Mohamed Al-Fayed bought the club in 1997. Two divisional titles in three seasons followed, and Fulham reached the Premier League by 2001. An Intertoto Cup win came in 2002, and they reached the 2010 Europa League final.
