Ghanaian players at Fulham[]

To date, there have been a total of eighteen Ghanaian players to have been at Fulham, with seven of these having represented Ghana at full international level. Seven of the players have played for Fulham's first team, and eleven others have been at the club without making a first team appearance.

Two Ghanaian defenders who gained cult figure status whilst at the club were John Paintsil and Denis Odoi. John joined in 2008 and stayed until 2011, and would give his all, enjoying the fans' appreciation. He was a noticeable figure on the pitch before kick-off as he would stay wide-legged in an 'arms-out' pose. Denis, who had gained one international cap for Belgium, chose to represent Ghana just after his departure from the club in 2022. He was equally loved by the Fulham fans throughout his time at the club for his likeable character and effort on the pitch.
