Alumnus Footballing Success

Congratulations to Luc De Fougerolles (Roper's 2024) who made his first competitive start in the League Cup for Fulham FC in their 3-1 win against Ipswich Town on 1 November, securing the club’s place in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup.

Luc's impact was so brilliant he was chosen as Fulham's Man of The Match!

An article on the Fulham FC website said:

"The 18 year-old showed maturity beyond his years with five recoveries, five duels won as well as completing 57/63 passes successfully.

In the article, Fulham's Head Coach said:

"The boy deserves it. I didn't have doubts to start with him to be honest because he's giving me the confidence that he's ready to have these type of chances."

Speaking to FFCtv after the game, Luc said:

"It was amazing to play in front of so many fans, the away fans were amazing. It was a great experience and hopefully there's much more to come."

Luc was signed by Fulham FC in April this year.

Mr Phil Bone, who coached Luc football during his time at School, said:

“It was Luc’s positive and enthusiastic approach to training that shone through. He was fully committed to all aspects of school life, including representing the School in other sports. What set him apart in football was that he was highly effective and had the ability to dictate play within matches.

“It has been fantastic to see Luc’s development at Fulham and we all wish him every success for his future career."
