A blog of two halves

In the summer of 1954 I watched Fulham defender Robin Lawler and his new bride, Jean, proudly emerge from St Augustine’s RC Church.

I summed up the Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton matches by writing that ‘Fulham played some good football but lapses of concentration and the lack of a regular goal scorer have undermined the performances’.

When I first started watched Fulham in 1948 I was lucky enough to live in a street very close to the Cottage.
