    "That’s it, we said to ourselves. Fulham were 2-0 down at half-time against Manchester City away, needing to win the game to remain in the Premiership.

    My son, Barney, and I were listening to the match on the car radio, on our way to play tennis. We went on court with heavy hearts – Fulham was our club, we were season ticket-holders. Barney, in particular, was disconsolate. When we came off, we turned on 5 Live, expecting to receive confirmation that Fulham had been relegated. Instead, the impossible had occurred: Fulham had scored three times in the last 20 minutes to win 2-3.

    The Fulham manager that day was Roy Hodgson. At a dinner with Roy, now, of course, the manager of England, a few weeks ago, I got the chance to ask him the question that every Fulham fan, every England supporter, wanted to know. Just what did he say to them in the dressing-room, what magic did he work to win that match? Hodgson thought for a minute, shook his head, and replied: “I wish I knew.”
