    * Appearances (Goals)

    Carl Neil Fletcher (born 7 April 1980 in Surrey Heath, England) is a Welsh professional football player, who plays for Crystal Palace. He wears the number 7 shirt, plays as a defensive midfielder, and has also served as Palace Captain.

    Fletcher started his career at English club Bournemouth, making his debut in February 1998 as a 17-year-old. He made 185 league starts for the south-coast club, including captaining the side to a 5-2 victory over Lincoln City in the 2003 Division 3 playoff final and scoring 2 of the goals himself, before earning a move to West Ham United in 2004 for £275,000.

    He is nicknamed "Fletch" by his fans, like his fictional namesake Karl Fletcher, a character on Sky One's Dream Team.

    Fletcher then played in the Premiership after West Ham won promotion the season he signed for them. He also had a month-long loan spell at Watford. Upon his return from Watford in October 2005, he made 12 league appearances for West Ham. On 13 May 2006, Fletcher was drafted into the West Ham team to face Liverpool in the FA Cup Final due to the suspension of Hayden Mullins. Despite ending on the losing side, he still contributed to one of the best FA Cup finals of modern times.

    The FA Cup final proved to be his last competitive match for the Hammers, however, as he signed for Crystal Palace in that summer, for £400,000. He was immediately appointed as Eagles Captain by then-manager Peter Taylor. After Neil Warnock took over, the captaincy went to Mark Hudson.

    Fletcher's Palace future has been in recent doubt, following Neil Warnock's signing of fellow midfielders Shaun Derry and Neil Danns.

    On 28th May 2008 Fletcher captained Wales for the first time against Iceland. However, he was substituted after just 41 minutes after damaging his ankle ligaments.

    Another fictional Harchester player. I remember a few years ago it was all over the papers that he was signing for Arsenal (or Liverpool), most of the big papers picked up on it and didn't appear to realise that this was a character in a soap.

    Just shows that if there is enough support behind a rumour, even if it is completely impossible, then the papers will happily give it a few column inches.

    Not a bad signing

    But thought we had that area covered with the Colace signing and Anderson's comeback.

    It's baffling, but no doubt Davey will know what he is doing from his hospital bed.
    I bet he's climbing walls not able to be a part of things at the moment and having to rely on others for info.

    When De Silva signed it was said that he was comfortable playing anywhere across the midfield four. Perhaps he is destined for a less defensive role this season.

    Left midfield perhaps?

    I'm sure I've read he can play there. Then again, we are so much better with him in the middle, I think he should stay there.

    Funnily enough

    I have also been to see him at Walkabout (Sheff) & I have his CD here in front of me. Long story, but I also have an email from Alan Fletcher stating that he owes me £1.

    :eek:

    If my brother owes you £1
