The Fulham Football Club grounds were between the Parson's Green home where I stayed and the house I went to visit. The stadium is right on the Thames and nestled nicely into a residential neighborhood. Ah to walk out the door and wander down to catch a soccer match. This statue is of Fulham great Johnny Haynes. American Clint Dempsey is the star now. We'll see how Clint fares in the World Cup.  Search “fertile grounds” from A London Ramble
