Life has its ups and downs if you’re a Fulham fan and in the current period of angst over transfers one made on this day in 1976 is worth remembering.

Over 25,000 fans turned up the following week to see his home debut against Wolves. The previous year’s opening match had attracted only 9,000. In those heady early days, the talk was of promotion.
