Fulham 1968/69.

April 1969 Fulham finished bottom of the Division Two table at the end of the 1968/69 season - ten years and a day after Johnny Haynes had led the Club up to the First Division. The journey back to the top would be a tortuous one and would take more than 30 years. Pictured is the first squad that was tasked with trying to get out of Division Three.
