The 2005-06 campaign delivered a solid season for Fulham as The Cottagers secured a respectable 12th-place finish in the Premier League under the guidance of manager Chris Coleman. Leading the charge was the talented young striker Collins John, whose 11 league goals proved vital in a campaign built on resilient home performances and the midfield flair of players like Steed Malbranque and Papa Bouba Diop. It was a memorable year that saw The Cottagers claim impressive home wins against giants Chelsea (1-0) and Liverpool (2-0), solidifying their top-flight status and remains a defining chapter in their modern Premier League history.
