Gerry Peyton

1976-86, 395 appearances

Ray Lewington says of Peyton "the most dedicated footballer I've ever played with. He was a great student of the game, and talked about it all the time... Les Strong was always telling him to put the ball away and go home, but Gerry would just carry on regardless". Consistent and reliable, Peyton played 395 times for Fulham.
