Nothing angers me more when people discredit him because he didn't do as well at Liverpool and England, but completely forget he took Fulham from a relegation certainty in 2008, to European football in 2009, to a Europa league final in 2010. For me it's one of the most underrated football stories in English football.
I think he was a lot better at taking smaller clubs to a higher level, which is why it never worked out at Liverpool and England. I will never protect what he did at England because it was disgraceful but the FA should never have given him the opportunity after the 2014 world cup.
Even If Roy Hodgson turns England into the worst footballing nation in the world he will always be to me the greatest Fulham manager ever. Forever a legend. Desperately unlucky not to win Europa League but the boys did us proud. Having nearly been relegated just over a season earlier I don't think any fan wold have dreamt of us even competing in the Europa League.
He’s an outstanding manager for Fulham but when he came to manage the 3 Lions, he needed the sack. Glad he’s gone because England’s 4th in the FIFA rankings. Fulham on the other hand...not so much.
Brilliant team. Grew up supporting Fulham for the American connection via Dempsey, McBride, Bocanegra, and now Ream and Hyndman. Thank you for bringing back the memories of a remarkable team to an American kid enjoying the beautiful game for the first time.
Always have been always wil be a fulham fan. Fulham till i die. Was at the final i cried when it was over only 4 mins from penalties and i believe that we would have beaten them. Roy hodgeson forever in fulham fans heart
That Juventus game will always have a special place in my heart, I must have been 12 at the time and to see what Fulham did and to see how the supporters reacted that made me realise Fulham was for me and I don't care where we are at the moment after we wouldn't be Fulham without a few failures here or there COYW
I dont care what people say, everytime I watch this, I cry! What Hodgson did to our Fulham was litterarely magic! Europa League Finals ffs noone would ever even give that as much of a thought! God how I miss those days and if I could I would turn back time to re experience those matches! And look at us now, a club in total mess, with a owner and board that has no clue whatsoever on what they are doing. An unisnpired club with no motivation or as much as a spark of positivity right now. :( I still believe, but the hope and belief is hanging in such a thin thread right now........... pleas dear God of Football, pour som magic dust on Khan and the board so they can rebuild our team properly!
People never understand the need for a solid core in the team, experience and talent is key with Fulham hangeland and Hughes at back, Murphy and etuhu in mid and Zamora up front
I remember joining the fulham bandwagon back in these years. Gera, Dempsey, Duff, Etuhu, Zamora and a solid backline. This was a really well built team.
I remember being on holiday, watching Final Score after the Reading match, and the pundits going through the relegation run in. Fulham weren't even considered. When they looked at Birmingham, they went "they have Fulham, that could be crucial, but Fulham will be down and out by then."
what a team we had. for me, and i dont no why, but zamora will always be my favourite fulham player ever. he didnt have speed, didnt have amazing skills and class but boy when u needed a goal he was always there always working for the team winning firat ams second balls plenty of assists . him and demps....... LEGENDS
Fantastic memories! It was a special time. Remember that night on the Thames against Juventus. It will live with me forever as one of the greatest sporting moments I have ever witnessed. Happy times. Thanks!
Shivers watching the games back from Europa who would have thought little old Fulham getting to the final massive achievement we couldn't have done any of it without that great man Roy 👏👏👏⚫⚪⚫⚪
That team, the Europa League season, fought with so much heart and so much confidence against teams with much more experience. I loved every minute of it. From a FulhAmerican screaming FTID! COYW!
Watching this brought a tear to my eye, wish i could have travelled the 12,000 miles my Step Dad clocked up watching Fulham in the Europa League. Still, special memories.
Sends shivers down my spine to remember those times, thank you Roy for everything you did for us, you and that team will live forever in the memories of every Fulham fan.
God what a fucking amazing few years this was, remember doing most of these with my dad. Missing days of year 11 to go to Europe and watch Fulham, magical.
Not a Fulham fan, but that season with them in Europe was an absolute joy, Can remember watching the Juve game on the tele box and Dempsey with that sensational finish.
it's a huge shame whats happened to this club. went to the cottage last week and there's empty seats, no noise and no passion. hopefully things will change and Fulham will make it back to the top flight one day
Fromabrokenlead Roy Hodgson, did we expect any other conclusion. Not enough top players selectable for England makes it impossible for any manager to survive the shortage My favourite England manager and probably still the best ever
WTF did Hodgson go to Liverpool? Had he won the Prem 4/5 times there, he would've been only recognised as an "also-ran." It's all been done so many times there before, but had Hodgson won something at Fulham, they would have built a statue of him - as this video kind of suggests. Not such a wise man after all.
Roy ‘got’ Fulham and with Lewy put a real spring in the step of the fans. Marco and his team ‘get’ Fulham also , I see it day in day out as a staff member, you never know , it could all happen again …..
Still hate forlan and atletico Madrid to this day, Fulham defeated the reigning champions of the Europa league, the bundesliga champions an an Italian giant to get there. They deserved to win it!
Greeting from Ferencvaros TC Zoli Gera is one of our Legends! We hope he will finish his Carrier with Fradi! I was screaming so hard watching the match against Atletico and was SOOOOOOOO Pissed fucking Forlan wanted to "Kill" him and everyone he knew! lol! My Daughters and Wife taught I went fucking Crazy! Zoli Gera the Emperor!

I think there was too much expectation of him at the bigger clubs ... happens with a lot of managers
Even If Roy Hodgson turns England into the worst footballing nation in the world he will always be to me the greatest Fulham manager ever. Forever a legend.
Desperately unlucky not to win Europa League but the boys did us proud. Having nearly been relegated just over a season earlier I don't think any fan wold have dreamt of us even competing in the Europa League.
at least he had enough balls to resign rather than be sacked, unlike some other managers
He’s an outstanding manager for Fulham but when he came to manage the 3 Lions, he needed the sack. Glad he’s gone because England’s 4th in the FIFA rankings. Fulham on the other hand...not so much.
I am an 11 year old boy and i love this team so much. we are the only proper team in London!!!
Brilliant team. Grew up supporting Fulham for the American connection via Dempsey, McBride, Bocanegra, and now Ream and Hyndman. Thank you for bringing back the memories of a remarkable team to an American kid enjoying the beautiful game for the first time.

welcome back to the prem!! I think you'll be fine this season.
I wish timmyl, I wish
And welcome back once again
I remember it so clearly and I was only 10 me and my dad went to every game
I dont care what people say, everytime I watch this, I cry! What Hodgson did to our Fulham was litterarely magic! Europa League Finals ffs noone would ever even give that as much of a thought! God how I miss those days and if I could I would turn back time to re experience those matches!

I miss this fulham terribly!!! Wish they come back to premier league. I still believe that fulham will rise again
I completely agree. Yeha people say we're shit? So what? Most of them are Brentford fans. They can't talk! They've never played teams like Man City
Thank god bcause we're in the premier league again
Danang Dwiatma and doing shit lel
I feel bad for Fulham for going down again. Come back soon
People never understand the need for a solid core in the team, experience and talent is key with Fulham hangeland and Hughes at back, Murphy and etuhu in mid and Zamora up front
jimmy fckin bullard as well, what a guy
Dempsey
Honestly when they bought brede and Andy Johnson, i knew they were serious about staying up
I remember joining the fulham bandwagon back in these years. Gera, Dempsey, Duff, Etuhu, Zamora and a solid backline. This was a really well built team.
I would love to see these days mid table english teams go in europa league so far beating such opposites...
the magnitude of that city away game... if we hadn't turned that one around we'd never have had the europe league run. hats off to roy
I am an Arsenal fan but I fell in love with Fulham because of this rise
Fulham now is in the championship but this Europa league final just made me so happy Fulham is great team
FFC'll be back. I'm sure of it. COYW--all the way from America.
this is the season
The best video ever, loved it cried, never forget, never re watched the final, getting there was enough
I remember being on holiday, watching Final Score after the Reading match, and the pundits going through the relegation run in. Fulham weren't even considered. When they looked at Birmingham, they went "they have Fulham, that could be crucial, but Fulham will be down and out by then."
Brings tears to my eyes this video considering what has happened, we've Dempsey, Gera, Murphy, Zamora and now even Brede and Roy himself :'(
GERA was outstanding
Don't forget Simon Davies,one of the best player of Fulham in those days.
what a team we had. for me, and i dont no why, but zamora will always be my favourite fulham player ever. he didnt have speed, didnt have amazing skills and class but boy when u needed a goal he was always there always working for the team winning firat ams second balls plenty of assists . him and demps.......
LEGENDS
Great days. Remember the bobby z goal against shaktar, thinking things couldnt get any better. Now look at us...
Beautiful stuff. Pity most of the fans in this video no longer turn up to our games the club needs our support now more than ever.
Watching this now makes me feel so sad.
But then again we have done it before
Fantastic memories! It was a special time. Remember that night on the Thames against Juventus. It will live with me forever as one of the greatest sporting moments I have ever witnessed. Happy times. Thanks!
Shivers watching the games back from Europa who would have thought little old Fulham getting to the final massive achievement we couldn't have done any of it without that great man Roy 👏👏👏⚫⚪⚫⚪
Im A Chelsea Fan, But This Was Amazing To Watch. Its Such A Shame That They're Going To Be Relegated.
Still can't watch that Forlan goal without dying on the inside. But so much love for this video, the fan-filmed part of the Gera goal is stunning.
That team, the Europa League season, fought with so much heart and so much confidence against teams with much more experience. I loved every minute of it. From a FulhAmerican screaming FTID!
COYW!
Watching this brought a tear to my eye, wish i could have travelled the 12,000 miles my Step Dad clocked up watching Fulham in the Europa League. Still, special memories.

I remember those games.. and I still keep some photos.. thanks for the memories..
Erik Nevland - HERO!
Not a Fulham fan, but that season with them in Europe was an absolute joy, Can remember watching the Juve game on the tele box and Dempsey with that sensational finish.
I watched this everyday to hope for staying up since 2-3 months ago
we need you Roy
Scholes getting robbed and Kuscak falling like a poleaxed flamingo is the part of this video
agreed. Great work for showing Roy how much that escape meant to us. Is and always will be a Fulham LEGEND!
Great Work. Thanks Roy. Hopefully another great escape awaits with Magath.
im a arsenal fan but it doesn't fell like the epl without fulham
Joseph Chung me too
FULHAM TILL I DIE
Jackie Marsala I'm sorry, what?
Lol
Love from the USA!!! Not some big red club or the money under the blue, ill support Fulham till i die, swear its what ill do.
ONCE A LEGEND, ALWAYS A LEGEND
it's a huge shame whats happened to this club. went to the cottage last week and there's empty seats, no noise and no passion. hopefully things will change and Fulham will make it back to the top flight one day
Kieran Bleasby we did it boyo
Well Roy is not working anymore, sign him up. I'm a Chelsea fan but I seriously miss Fulham, hope you guys can make it back into the Prem this season.
Joka is working on it
looks like we might do!
David Marshall and... you jinxed it.
iam an everton fans and very enjoyed this, see you in the premier league 17/18 and make this video happen again !
it is !
the juventus game at craven cottage was amazing, really wanted fulham to win the final :(
I'm a lfc but really enjoyed this vid
I'm sure you did
It was more the journey of Fulham not that owl of a manegar
whats the first tune called
G2W bolero
Got shivers watching this, FFC till I die!
Love this Fulham days!!!!!
Sad to see my club lose in the final this is a video saying to us Fulham fans never give up on us even though we are not in the highest division
The team of murphy , dempsey and gera is Legend.
What's the difference between a Fulham fan and a Chelsea fan? Fulham fans are in love with their club. Chelsea fans are in love with their trophies.
LEGEND
The power of Roy Hodgson
Amazing video! Love it!
Least we are staying up in the championship #FFC
Now we sit 19th in the championship with the old Fulham gone :(
Adam Everett now 3 positions of the playoffs and a game in hand ;) FFC!
Andrew Laing 18th in the primer league :\
Absolutely brilliant. Well done, mate.
AND THANK YOU, ROY HODGSON.
Fromabrokenlead Roy Hodgson, did we expect any other conclusion. Not enough top players selectable for England makes it impossible for any manager to survive the shortage My favourite England manager and probably still the best ever
Gera the best!
Spine tingling, seems like yesterday. Got a feeling the good times are coming back. COYW
WTF did Hodgson go to Liverpool? Had he won the Prem 4/5 times there, he would've been only recognised as an "also-ran." It's all been done so many times there before, but had Hodgson won something at Fulham, they would have built a statue of him - as this video kind of suggests. Not such a wise man after all.
superb knowledge, I salute you.
Bobby was majestic that year
Roy ‘got’ Fulham and with Lewy put a real spring in the step of the fans. Marco and his team ‘get’ Fulham also , I see it day in day out as a staff member, you never know , it could all happen again …..
go fuhlam! this makes me cry
the tide has turned we are on our way back
this video is amazing. COYW
love it
I think this season is the one that we are going to clasify to europa league and next season will be our chance!!!
Ahhh this cottagers music. COYW
BEST video on CZcams!
I love the irony that Petric scored first against us for Hamburg, and is now a Fulham player. What delightful coincidence.
When Gera got the winner against Hamburg I felt very awkward, as I'd never liked him until then...
great video so unlucky in the final
Horrid to watch this and then think where we are now😢 take us back, but first we need to up our game
true 😞
I hope we will be back to Bpl this season
and luckily we are. we have won 2 games and drawn one.
+Reubenwizard We are doing decent so far, but we'll see
ahh thankyou!
And Fulham are Back!!!!!
Good video
Would've been a great finish if they'd beaten Madrid but a great season none the less
The good old days :D
quality video
I wiah I coulfd watch more of that Gera-Zamorra partnersjip. So. beautiful.
as soon as Dempsey started playing regular minutes the team changed to become Europa league finalist - fact
What a video
This video deserves to be played to Roy himself.
What's the song at the beginning called ?
Anyone going to see them against Newcastle on Friday
Still hate forlan and atletico Madrid to this day, Fulham defeated the reigning champions of the Europa league, the bundesliga champions an an Italian giant to get there. They deserved to win it!
I love Fulham come on you whites
Whats the song at the start!?
oh Roy come back - Fulham is where you belong!
COYW!
what is the song at the start?
Greeting from Ferencvaros TC Zoli Gera is one of our Legends! We hope he will finish his Carrier with Fradi! I was screaming so hard watching the match against Atletico and was SOOOOOOOO Pissed fucking Forlan wanted to "Kill" him and everyone he knew! lol! My Daughters and Wife taught I went fucking Crazy! Zoli Gera the Emperor!
What´s the song that starts at 4:18 ?
WERE BACK BOYS 2 WEEKS TILL THE NEW SEASON !!!!!!!
Jesus! Back when Irleand had hair
Lets go Fulham
Zoltán Gera the magical hungaryan !!!
it's so crazy to think that the same man was a hero in Fulham but a distaster in Liverpool. wow
How did not Roy turn up well for England ??
Music??
