2000-07, 238 appearances, 52 goals
Fans of other teams don't understand how good Boa was for Fulham. He made little impression at Arsenal and Southampton before joining us, and has been poor at West Ham since he left, but in a Fulham shirt he was eccentric, electric and sometimes just bloody wonderful. Whether on the left wing or up front, Boa was master of the unexpected, equally likely to beat three men or collapse in an ungainly mess. Scored 21 goals in his first term for the Whites, the 2000-01 promotion season, and continued to be effective for five seasons after that.
