Fulham fans have been reacting to a video of their former midfielder Simon Davies taking part in the ‘stay at home challenge’. The 40-year-old completed a number of kick-ups with the toilet roll before turning and volleying into a miniature goal.
Here is what some of the fans had to say.
Favourite Fulham player of all time for me ?

Will Simon Davies be remembered as a Fulham legend?
Yes
No
“Here’s Davies… IT’S ON! IT’S ON!
What a wonderful take!
He’s hurt himself but boy it’s worth the pain.”— Farrell Monk (@FarrellMonk) March 24, 2020

What do we think?
The goal that many of these fans are referring to came in the UEFA Europa League semi-final between the Cottagers and Hamburg which took place back in April 2010. Davies’ goal levelled the score on the night and the hosts went on to win the game when Zoltan Gera added a second seven minutes later (via BBC Sport).
The former Welsh international went on to play 168 times for Fulham, scoring 17 goals and providing 26 assists (via Transfermarkt.co.uk). Signed from Everton in 2007 on a free transfer, the former Tottenham Hotspur player eventually retired at Craven Cottage.
