50: Arthur Rowley

1948-49, 56 appearances, 26 goals

Rowley scored more English league goals than any other player in history, banging in 434 in 619 games. He only scored 26 of these for Fulham, but they were important strikes: in 1948-49 we won the second-division title by a single point, at the time our highest ever finish. Rowley scored 19 in 22 games to lead us over the line. His play “possessed all the finesse of a runaway steamroller,” but he was a goal machine.

49: Len Oliver

1924-35, 434 appearances

Key player in the 1931-32 third division south title winning side, our first 'major' trophy. Captain of Fulham for seven seasons and played 434 times in all.

48: Ray Lewington

1979-90, 276 appearances, 24 goals

Like Frank Penn, Arthur Stevens and Simon Morgan, Lewington is one of the great Fulham club men. A good player in his own right, he also managed the club several times: in charge from 1986 to 1990, a trying time for various reasons, and had caretaker stints in 1991, 1994 and again in 2007. He's on this list for his all-round contribution to Fulham.

47: Gerry Peyton

1976-86, 395 appearances

Ray Lewington says of Peyton “the most dedicated footballer I've ever played with. He was a great student of the game, and talked about it all the time... Les Strong was always telling him to put the ball away and go home, but Gerry would just carry on regardless”. Consistent and reliable, Peyton played 395 times for Fulham.
