So, the win on Saturday takes Jokanovic's team to a run of 15 unbeaten games on the trot, one more than Tigana's side with 14 in season 200/01. Might come as a surprise but this current run only equals the Club record. Indeed the run of 15 unbeaten has been achieved on three separate occasions previously: 1957 under Doug Livingstone please log in to view this image 1970 under Bill Dodgin Jnr please log in to view this image 1999 under Kevin Keegan please log in to view this image Will Slavisa Jokanovic break the record with a win over QPR on Saturday?
Potentially another record on the run is in the making. Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored in his last 5 games. As you'll have guessed, that isn't a Club record though. Two players have scored in 6 consecutive matches - 1958 Graham Leggat please log in to view this image 2002 Steed Malbrabque please log in to view this image Mitro has still a way to go, even if he scores on Saturday, however. 1954 Beddy Jezzard scored in 7 games on the run please log in to view this image And even that has been bettered. The Club record is held by Roy Dwight who scored in 8 games running in 1956 please log in to view this image
Be fair, at that age you're in Ronnie Rooke territory. Beddy retired early because of an injury so personally never saw him play, although did say hello in the pub he had up in Hammersmith. Lovely man. Fulham's loss when he jacked in the manager's job after that clown Tommy Trinder sold Alan Mullery to Spurs behind his back.
I just missed Beddy, though my dad often talked about him. My first CF was Alan Clarke - I wonder what happened to him???? - sadly he was replaced by Frank Large and/or Budgie - should have Chubby - Bryne
As a young kid hanging around the ground during school holidays Beddy was always one who had time for a chat. His scoring record was incredible i often wondered what he could have achieved given another 3/4 seasons. Sadly in later life he fell victim to Alzheimer's.
