Jonny Forumer: Fulham fans pay tribute to Duff

Jonny Forumer

Morning folks, Jonny Forumer reporting for duty. Martin Jol’s new-look Fulham side were humming in their 3-0 win over West Ham United at Craven Cottage on Saturday, with a number of players taking the plaudits – two-goal home debutant Dimitar Berbatov, the exciting wing play of Alexander Kačaniklić, the distribution of Chris Baird, the engine room work Steve Sidwell – but the evergreen form of Damien Duff is an overlooked wonder of the Premier League era. I sat around Cottagers online message boards Friends of Fulham and Cottage Corner listening in on what the good folks there had to say about the enduring Republic of Ireland wide man…

First class. He was running that wing in the second half like he was 10 years younger. I think maybe having Berby in the side has lifted one or two players to want to be seen as good. Well yesterday Duffy was. Like Brummy sausages he skinned them and tied them in knots to boot.

I thought the way he closed last season (last three months or so) was also remarkable for a player who I thought struggled in the first half of last season. Jol done something to him.

MrFFC, Friends of Fulham…

Duff! Still offers so much to the side he still has plenty to offer us over the next few seasons, the battle between Duff and Dejagah will certainly be an interesting one …

Wayne Farris, Cottage Corner…

He’s been outstanding for the last 6 months. He’s the only player you can count on to turn up home or away. What he lacks in his speed he makes up for in his stamina and (most importantly) his brains, his workrate and reading of the game is first class. All our wide playing youngsters should look to him as an example of how to play the position.

~lork, Friends of Fulham…

duff defies logic. amazing what he’s done here.

Elvis, Cottage Corner…

Quality pro. Must work really hard in training to keep himself so fit, and obviously looks after himself.

RidgeRider, Friends of Fulham…

This is like his third transformation while he has been with us and I am starting to think its because he is healthy.

StefanoOkakaChuka, Cottage Corner…

I love Duffer, he has been our most consistent player in the last three or four seasons, always working hard and producing magic on the wing. No wonder why his name is in the back of my shirt.

HatterDon, Friends of Fulham…

He might be playing better right now than ever in his career. What a joy to watch.

How far can Fulham fans go this season, Cottagers? Have your say in the comments section below…
