‘What’s that?’ – Chabuddy G actor left stunned by what’s in Fulham’s trophy cabinet during Craven Cottage tour

ACTOR Charlie Cooper showed Newcastle-supporting pal Asim Chaudhry around his beloved Craven Cottage ahead of Fulham’s meeting with the Toon this weekend.

This Country star Cooper, 35, gave Chabuddy G actor Chaudhry a behind-the-scenes tour which even included a glimpse at the Cottagers’ trophy cabinet.

While Fulham have earned plenty of promotions down the years, major silverware has largely eluded them.

They finished as FA Cup runners-up in 1975, while they agonisingly lost the 2010 Europa League final to Atletico Madrid following an incredible run under Roy Hodgson.

Taking pride of place in their cabinet is the Intertoto Cup, which they earned under Jean Tigana 22 years ago.

While Cooper and Chaudhry both got to hold and kiss the actual Intertoto Cup trophy, the latter’s eyes had been drawn by two more unusual cups.

Looking confused, he asked: “What’s that?”

It was pointed out by their guide that Chaudhry was looking at The Algarve Trophy, to which Cooper cheekily responded: “Of course! How could I forget? I shed a tear when we won that.”

Fulham earned the pre-season trophy last month, beating Benfica 1-0 courtesy of an Alex Iwobi goal.

It wasn’t their first triumph in the Algarve Cup, having also beaten Nice to win it in 2022.

Ironically, Chaudhry’s beloved Newcastle have also won the pre-season competition, having beaten Braga 2-1 to take it in 2012.

Chaudhry then put on an American accent as he pointed out the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup.

Cooper joked: “You know you haven’t won many trophies when you have to get the Dallas Cup to fill it out.”

His pal quipped that the “massive” trophy probably had Fulham chiefs fuming at “travel charges” on the way home due to its heft.

The Dallas Cup is actually a prestigious youth team tournament featuring teams from all over the world.

Fulham were one of four European teams to enter in 2013, alongside Manchester United, Eintracht Frankfurt and Danish side AaB Fodbold.

In group play the West Londoners defeated Brazilians Coritiba and Americans LA Galaxy, before thrashing Frankfurt 5-0.

They then beat Brazilians Fluminense 2-1 in the semis before overcoming Japanese outfit Kashiwa Reysol 5-1 in the final.

Fulham’s Dallas Cup-winning Under-19 side featured several players who would go on to play for their first team – including Cauley Woodrow, Marek Rodak and Emerson Hyndman.

ISW оцінив ймовірність мобілізації в РФ

Фото: Соцмережі (ілюстративне фото) Мобілізація в РФ залишається малоймовірною Путін не скористався заходом українських військ у Курську область як можливістю підготувати російське суспільство до мобілізації.
