Fulham midfielder Jimmy Bullard was delighted to make his playing comeback at West Ham last weekend.

Bullard saw his first action in 16 months and he told fulhamfc.com: "It was just brilliant, especially being back at my old club, where I used to play, and all the fans were brilliant as always. It was fantastic to be out there, and I had a cheeky 15 minutes at the end, which was absolutely blinding. The Fulham fans were brilliant to me even when I was just warming up, and the West Ham fans were great to me as well. And when I went on, to get an ovation like I did, was fantastic.

"I only played 15 minutes so it was hard to get really involved as everyone was into the pace of the game when I came on. It's hard coming on into any game, let alone when you've been out for 16 months, but I did what I could. I had a good chance at the end to snatch a draw, but I didn't quite hit it as I wanted to.

"But it got deflected and I thought it was going to go in at the last minute. The main thing was being out there kicking a ball about for me, and it proves how much you've got to enjoy every minute of it because you never know what's around the corner."
