After the game, I took Tom (with the permission of the doctors) for his first half of beer.

Tom enjoys his first half in the Brick with his dad.

Having his first beer seemed the appropriate way to end a perfect day and a wonderful result. The fact that it was with fellow Fulham fans just made it extra special for him. Maybe next time he will get his round in?

Too much of this and not enough getting stuck in.

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that it was announced today that FOX Soccer will now be broadcasting the FA Cup matchup between Everton and Fulham LIVE this Friday at 3pm ET. It’s the only place where people will be able to watch the match so we are pretty excited about it.

Feel free to let the rest of the Supporters Club know, please let me know if there is anything we can help you or the Supporters club with moving forward.

Best, Will

From my experience yesterday, they are all thoroughly nice ordinary blokes, who have not forgotten that the fans count.

Pre Match from the Balcony.

Tom and myself were treated like royalty from beginning to end, no they treated us better than royalty. Before the game Tom got to sit in Chairman Mo’s seat up in the directors box and Martin Jol’s seat in the dugout. Nothing was to much trouble and whilst it might be cold up on the balcony, when you are watching a second half performance like that and you have Simon Davies one side of you and Mark Shwarzer the other side, you somehow forget the wind believe me. After the game was simply amazing. Tom got to talk to most of the first team squad, get their autographs, pose for photos and here is the best bit …. the player who has supported and done so much for Tom walked in the room and handed Tom his and two other players autographed shirts (each shirt had a personal message for Tom) and then had a good chat for about 20 minutes with Tom. He then called over some of the other players to meet Tom. Certain players then introduced us to their friends and family.

As a dad I can never thank the players and the club enough for the day they gave my son yesterday. It is not an exaggeration to say that he will never forget yesterday as long as he lives, and I have to say that our first team are a group of toughly nice, down to earth people.

After the game I took to Tom for his first beer (the doctor said a half would be OK as it was a special occasion). The reception he got from his fellow Fulham fans when they saw he was wearing AJ’s shirt put another big smile on his face.

Somehow I think the Tower of London, Big Ben etc are all going to be a massively unimpressive after yesterday!

Thank you Fulham.

What a weekend at the American School of the Hague. Inspired by their super coach, Bonn International U12 Boys’, end up winning the Plate Final, 2 – 1 against Amsterdam International School, to place 3rd in a tournament for western European International Schools. Most schools participating have student numbers about double that of Bonn.

Bonn International School U12 Boys' team that won the Plate Final, placing 3rd in western Europe tournament. Most schools that participated are at least twice the size of BIS. It took tactical mastery to pull this one off!
