FANS

It’s the final episode of the series and Sachin is very much going out with a bang given he’s joined by brilliant author, scriptwriter and podcaster John O’Farrell for a chat about Fulham. 

John is at his engaging best as he reflects on following a club that boasts many well-known supporters. In part that is down to Fulham’s rather nice location but that’s not the case as far as John is concerned, as he explains via one of the most unique and interesting origin stories in FANS history. 

From fighting mergers to coping with relegations, celebrating promotions and seeing an awful statue of a legendary musician built outside Craven Cottage, John has seen and done it all as a Fulham fan. And that includes being there when they pulled off a remarkable victory over Juventus en route to the 2010 Europa League final. As John explains with great warmth and wonder, it was an unforgettable occasion, as was the final itself. 

Not surprisingly, John tells a host of amusing stories, including one about the time a Fulham player swore at his young nephew and another involving a Hollywood superstar’s less-than-impressive footballing ability. 

John also talks about modern-day Fulham and why he fancies them to make a positive impact in the Premier League next season before going through his all-time Fulham XI and providing an answer to the final question.
