Sadly a legend in (and on) the history of Fulham Footbal Club, Dennis Turner passed away today.
Dennisâ first attendance at a Fulham game was in October 1952 when he was six-years-old. Immediately awestruck by the likes of Bobby Robson, Bedford Jezzard and Jimmy Hill, his love affair with Fulham began there and then and his support has remained unflinching for six decades
He first became closely involved in the late 1970s when he offered his expert knowledge of Fulhamâs past to help produce a history of the Club. Within a few years he became programme editor on a voluntary basis and has continued to dedicate much of his life to the Club ever since, performing various roles in his spare time, and becoming a very recognisable face at Craven Cottage.
The Club appointed Dennis as a non-Executive Director in May 2009. This post went at the same time as MAF.
Outside of football, Dennis was chief economist for HSBC and Financial Directorâs economics columnist and regularly spoke at events for the finance community. He started his career in Whitehall and remained an influential advisor within UK government.
Dennisâs love of music has seen him publish critiques of Van Morrison, Joe Cocker and Ray Charles
A man of many parts.
RIP
