Fulham’s incredible run to the final of the Europa League was one of Zamora’s stand-out moments in his time at Craven Cottage.

The forward had already scored five goals to help Hodgson’s men get out of their group and reach the last 16, but it was his opener against Italian giants Juventus at Craven Cottage which helped the Whites complete a remarkable turnaround.

Trailing 3-1 from the first leg in Turin, David Trezeguet put the Old Lady 4-1 up on aggregate, but Zamora’s goal seven minutes later inspired a sensational comeback, with a brace from Zolten Gera and a Clint Dempsey strike sealing their place in the last eight.

Further wins over Wolfsburg and Hamburg saw Hodgson’s men into the final, although they were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Madrid in the showpiece.
