Fulham have had their fair share of ups and downs in recent years, with the club playing their football in both the Premier League and the Championship. 

The Cottagers were in the top-flight last term, but were relegated in their first season back, and are now back challenging for promotion in the second tier of English football.

Scott Parker's side are currently sat third in the Championship table, and will be hoping they can keep the pressure on West Brom and Leeds United heading towards the conclusion of this year's campaign.

If they are to make a swift promotion back into the Premier League this term, the Cottagers will be keen for a prolonged stay in the top-flight.

Fulham had previously played in European competition earlier in their history, when they had an impressive run to the UEFA Cup Final, where they were eventually beaten by Spanish giants Atletico Madrid.

Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, legendary commentator looked back at one of the memorable matches he has covered at Craven Cottage in the past, and it's certainly a game that the Fulham supporters will remember well.

"As for a match, I have plumped for March 2006 and a 1-0 win over neighbours Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's side were running away with the Premier League title and would secure it for a second season in a row. Fulham were battling to stay in the division and helped their chances with a gutsy performance.

"Their only goal, after 17 minutes, was fortunate with Paulo Ferreira in an attempted tackle hitting the ball on to the foot of Luis Boa Morte and it flashed into the net. The match is also memorable for Mourinho's double substitution less than 10 minutes later.

"He hauled off Joe Cole and Shaun Wright-Phillips and brought on Didier Drogba and Damien Duff. But in the end it was a D-Day for Fulham and when Chelsea's William Gallas was sent off near the end a famous victory was in the bag.

"They have not beaten Chelsea since!"

Tyler went on to label the Craven Cottage stadium as unique, and as a rare combination of historic and modern, which is a description that plenty of the club's supporters are likely to agree with.

"It is - and will be even more so - a rare combination of the historic and the modern. The Main Stand on Stevenage Road, now named after Johnny Haynes, is virtually unaltered with its red brick façade a unique feature in English football.

"Even this, though is topped by the Cottage itself, a pavilion in the corner which houses the dressing rooms and some club offices, plus a balcony view of the pitch. Unique."

The Verdict: 

It's no surprise to hear that this is his most memorable game whilst in attendance at Craven Cottage.

To win against your local rivals is as good as it gets for any football supporter, and the Fulham fans would have been delighted to get one over Chelsea at the time.

But the Cottagers have become somewhat of a 'yo-yo' club in recent years, and will be keen for some stability in the Premier League in the near future.

Craven Cottage is always a stadium that is a good trip for away fans to visit to watch their teams in action.
