Fulham’s incredible victory over Juventus has been named as our Moment of the Decade by fans of the Club.
Across two days on Twitter fans were voting for their favourite moments, which culminated in a Final battle between the Juve triumph and our Play-Off Final victory at Wembley.
It was a closely fought contest, but the gap gradually grew overnight to 54 per cent in favour of our 4-1 win over the Old Lady, with close to 5,000 supporters having their say.
Of the 32 moments we selected, the winner was actually the oldest, coming right at the start of the decade in March 2010.
With the Whites trailing 3-1 from the First Leg, the task then looked insurmountable when legendary striker David Trezeguet tucked home a loose ball inside two minutes at the Hammersmith End.
But Bobby Zamora soon equalised, muscling Ballon d’Or winner Fabio Cannavaro out the way like he wasn’t there, creating a cacophony of noise inside the ground as fans sensed a lifeline.
Cannavaro was then shown a straight red card for tripping Zoltan Gera as he looked to run through on goal, and Zolly ensured we went into half-time winning on the night when he expertly turned home Simon Davies’ centre.
And we were level on aggregate four minutes after half-time when Gera converted from the spot after Brazil international midfielder Diego had handled Damien Duff’s cross.
Roy Hodgson then showed his intention to win the tie in normal time when he replaced Stephen Kelly with Clint Dempsey. It proved to be a fairly decent substitution.
With eight minutes to play, Dickson Etuhu – scorer of what proved to be the crucial away goal in Turin a week earlier – clipped the ball to Dempsey who then provided one of the most famous moments ever witnessed in SW6.
The American dinked a sumptuous shot over the helpless Antonio Chimenti and down inside the far corner. Anyone who was there that night swears that it all happened in slow motion, and can still recall the feeling of euphoria when the net finally rippled.
