Fulham Football Club, founded on 1 January 1879, is a professional football club based in Fulham, London, competing in the Premier League. Walkouts presents a curated selection of signed football shirts, framed pieces and retail memorabilia linked to the club’s long narrative, with clear provenance notes for collectors and visible patch detail where relevant.
The team have played home matches at Craven Cottage since 1896, the riverside stadium that remains central to the club’s identity and matchday imagery, while the classic white shirt with black shorts has been a constant since the same decade. The ground’s setting and historic rooflines often appear in photographs used to verify match use and signing events.
Across the 20th century Fulham achieved notable domestic success, claiming two First Division titles in 1905-06 and 1906-07, joining the Football League and later winning lower division honours such as the Third Division South title in 1931-32 and the Second Division in 1948-49. The club has also produced celebrated players such as Johnny Haynes and contested major domestic ties including the 1974-75 FA Cup final.
On the continental stage Fulham were UEFA Intertoto Cup winners in 2002 and went on to reach the 2010 final of the UEFA Europa League, a campaign that significantly raises the desirability of signed shirts from that season. The club is ranked 159 by the IFFHS, a concise indicator collectors sometimes use alongside provenance details.
Collector interest concentrates on eras and identifiable badges; autographs from players such as Clint Dempsey, Louis Saha and Mark Schwarzer are repeatedly requested, and many listings note that the 2010 UEL patches are essential for provenance. The club’s 125th anniversary release in 2004 featured a laurel crest across a limited retail run, and white fabric is known to show wear more readily, so condition and patch presence are frequently highlighted. Free worldwide shipping is offered on many framed items.
Shirts from the 2009-10 European campaign and the 2000-01 promotion season are especially sought after because they represent continental nights and the club’s return to the top flight, creating strong provenance stories for signings and match photos. Equally prized are the red and black away shirt variants linked to cup runs and decisive away nights, while fans explicitly collect fanshop shirts as well as match-issued items, chasing early runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases.
Anniversary pieces such as the 2004 laurel crest editions remain collector magnets, and robust provenance often rests on exact photo proof of signing or match use; Walkouts lists authenticated items showing visible patch detail from the 2009-10 Europa League and the 2000-01 Division One promotion run so specialists can compare signatures, patches and fabric ageing before purchase.
