“IF IT HAD BEEN UP TO ME, I WOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT FULHAM, NOT EVEN FOR ARSENAL. I LOVED IT SO MUCH”

How does it feel to be Fulham’s leading appearance-maker in the Premier League, with 217 outings for the club?

It’s a good statistic, for sure! It shows loyalty and consistency over a long time, which are things I value in football. Having said all that, I hope someone overtakes it soon. I want the club to re-establish itself as a Premier League regular and hope another player will get to 200, 300, even 400 games. I had a fantastic time at Craven Cottage, so I can recommend staying for even longer than I did.

Do you enjoy returning to Fulham as a fan?

Yes, I always look forward to it. Coming back to Craven Cottage has often felt like returning home. It’s the greatest stadium in the world,in my book. To have been part of the group of players I was with at Fulham is something I really appreciate. I didn’t represent many clubs because I stayed at Fulham for so long; it’ll always be my second home. It’s been good to see the side playing well this season.
