Fulham has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top tier of English football. As the F.A. Premier League kicked off in 1992, Fulham were simply hoping to avoid relegation to the Third Division. Three years later, the Craven Cottage club was in danger of falling off the footballing map altogether - but those days seem like a distant memory now. Flamboyant chairman Mohammed Al Fayed dreamt of Fulham winning the F.A. Premier League and invested heavily in pursuit of his ambition. After cruising to the First Division title in 2001, Al Fayed's expensively-assembled team was able to stand toe to toe with England's finest club sides. With former French midfield star Jean Tigana as coach, Fulham kicked-off the new season at Manchester United and showed they belonged in the top division with some sparkling football, despite a 3-2 defeat. Following an impressive first campaign in the F.A. Premier League, ambitious Fulham are one of the teams to watch this season, with World Cup star Junichi Inamoto among the exciting additions. |
