Summary

The 2000/01 season was, simply put, one of the greatest in Fulham’s history. Under the tutelage of French maestro Jean Tigana, the Whites swept everyone in Division One aside en route to the title, to 101 points, and most importantly, to the Premier League.

In this, the latest episode in our ‘unforgettable’ series, we look back on this incredible campaign, from our opening 11-game winning run to that iconic night – and goal celebration – at Ewood Park. We hear from some of the heroes who etched their name into Fulham history, and some of the fans who witnessed it.

Narrated by Sammy James; featuring Kit Symons, Lee Clark, Barry Hayles, Sean Davis, John Collins, Drew Heatley, Hayley Davidson and Tom Greatrex.

Production Credits: George Cooper, Peter Rutzler, Chris Waugh
