With Fulham FC's recent success in the Europa League many new sites and shirts have popped up in order to celebrate the success of the club. Football shirts are always a great way to remind you of the clubs success, however many people simply use them as "every day clothes" meaning they wear out and are replaced, or simply thrown away.
In this article we are going to look at a few Fulham FC Retro shirts that I feel are classics, Fulham the English Football team currently playing in the English Premiership were founded way back in 1879 and in 2004 celebrated their 125 anniversary. In 2010 Fulham against all odds made it to the Europa league final giving their fans a great deal of joy and excitement, however this is not the first or only success of Fulham FC.
The first shirt we look at is the 1950's Fulham retro shirt, this shirt was worn by the likes of Johhny Haynes in 55, Haynes one of the all time greats was one of the first £100 players in the country, he was also an England star of his day. He had 56 caps, and 18 goals (including a hatrick) for England before a car crash put pay to his England career. Haynes continued at club level and continued to be one of the great forces in Fulham FC in the 50's. The 50's Fulham classic shirt is in no doubt partly a tribute to the likes of Haynes, and the rest of the Fulham squad from that era.
1975 gave Fulham some success, it was in this year Fulham FC reached the Cup final, sadly on this occasion they were beaten 2-0 by West-Ham. The team in1975 consisted of famous players such as Bobby Moore and Alan Mullery. The squad by some was said to be a "tired squad" however the team of that era still put on a great display for their fans and gave them a final to be proud of.
Another retro shirt considered a "must have" by Fulham fans is the 1930's Cottage football shirt, the 30's Fulham team was made up of players such as Bert Barrett, the game that makes this shirt famous in the fans eyes is from the Club playing against FC Austria back in the 30's and the match between the two clubs was held at the "Cottage". This shirt like many is a long sleeve shirt comprising only the Fulham FC Logo.
