Re: 'The 2-2 Draw at Craven Cottage & the Danger from Flying Bombs....
From the Home Page...

Fulham here. Great article and a shame that film/photography wasn’t common back then to capture
the players and fans at the match.
I love a bit of history, but I’m intrigued by the amount of players on both sides who appear to have been from
other clubs. Was that common for the era, or just because the war had called away so many to fight?
I can’t imagine today’s players or fans even turning up if there were a slight chance that a flying bomb might
hit the ground. People were made of tougher stuff back then.
