Fulham are an English Premier League football club. Based on the Thames in South West London, their home is Craven Cottage which has a capacity of 19,359.

They also went on an impressive FA Cup run that campaign, which included an 8-3 win over Luton Town, en route to the semi-finals. However, in the last four, they were beaten by a resounding scoreline of 6-0 by Newcastle United.
In February 1966 during the 1965/66 season, there was a point where they sat last in the table with 15 points from 29 games. They then managed a remarkable run to the end of the season, picking up nine wins and two draws from the remaining 13 games to ensure survival.
It was the 1967/68 season that saw them finally succumb to the top flight, being relegated after winning only 10 games from 42 played. The slide didn't stop there, though.

He was part of the team that first got relegated from the Second Division once more in the 1979/80 season, but was also part of a strong Malcolm McDonald-led side between 1980-1984.
What could have been a glorious new period for the Cottagers ended in 1986, as the club was quickly sold off due to the club being in debt.
This led to an unsurprising relegation one again to the Third Division, and almost led to the club going out of business in 1987 because of an ill-advised merger attempt with Queens Park Rangers. Thankfully, ex-player Jimmy Hill stepped in to stop that from happening.
When the Premier League was formed in 1992, Fulham were restored to the Second Division as 22 clubs from the Football League resigned after the formation.

In 2009/10, Hodgson's side embarked on an incredible Europa League run. They made it all the way to the final, beating Juventus along the way. In the final, they were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Madrid after extra time. Following the end of the campaign, Hodgson left for Liverpool and that ultimately proved to be the end of Fulham's Premier League glory years.
