Brian Nichols came through the Fulham youth ranks to make his senior debut for the club in a 3-0 home win over West Ham United in October 1965 and the centre back went on to make 57 appearances in five years at Craven Cottage, scoring a single goal.
Brian was by far the best youth coach I ever saw when he was at West Ham United
Very friendly man who helped me when he was youth coach at Fulham when I did the youth team reports for the club’s programme.
