Fulham defender Brede Hangeland has paid tribute to chairman Mohamed Al Fayed.
Al Fayed bought Fulham in 1997 when they were languishing in the third tier and transformed them into a Premier League side within four years.
"The chairman has done fantastic things for this club and we all owe him so much, he has been brilliant.
"He comes in occasionally and talks to the players, he is a really nice guy and we all know what he has done for the club, in my time here and long before so we all have a lot of good things to say about him and a lot of respect."
