Finnish players at Fulham[]
To date, there have been a total of eight Finnish players to have been at Fulham, with six of these having represented Finland at full international level. Seven of the players have played for Fulham's first team, and one other has been at the club without making a first team appearance.
Perhaps the most notable Finnish player to have been at Fulham is Jari Litmanen, who joined in 2008 under Roy Hodgson in a bid to help the club stay up in the Premier League. However, as it transpired, he would never make a first team appearance despite Hodgson's wishes for him to do so. Several injury concerns forced him away from the side and he was criticised by some when still managing several international appearances with Finland during this time.
