This is a list of rugby league footballers who have played for Fulham RLFC (1980–91), London Crusaders (1991–94), London Broncos (1994–2005, 2012–present), and Harlequins RL (2006–11). Players are listed according to their heritage number as allocated by the London Broncos Supporters Society Ltd. (informally known by its original name of LBSA)[a] in its "London Roll of Honour".
The LBSA list is separated by the season in which the players made their début with the organization.[2][3]
As of the Heritage Day 2019 ceremony, marking the anniversary of the original Fulham RLFC playing its inaugural game on September 14, 1980, the LBSA has inducted 11 players to its Hall of Fame (HOF).[4] These HOF inductees, complete with year of induction, are shown in bold on this list.
^LBSA was originally the acronym of the London Broncos Supporters Association of 2014, which legally registered in 2018 – under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 – as the London Broncos Supporters Society Ltd.[1] It maintains the four-letter "LBSA", as well as "the Association", when referring to itself.
^ abA player named Ken Green appears as player #48, having first played with Fullham in 1984–85. A player named Ken Green appears as player #76, having first played with Fullham in 1985–86. Rather suspicious, but the LBSA had this double entry on their official list when both Ken Greens were added to this article on 10 February 2017, and still had both Ken Greens showing as of 22 May 2023, so will keep both in this wiki article
^John Whittaker, who represented both New Zealand and Cook Island on their national teams, was an active player during this period, including his 1986 appearance with Cook Island. This John Whittaker did have a history of club play in England (Warrington Wolves, 1977–81). There is no mention of Fulham in his obituary, though his obituary was not written as an exhaustive list of clubs.[5] Thus, the John Whittaker who joined Fullham in 1984–85 may or may not be this linked New Zealander/Cook Islander.
^ abThree players on the official list are missing their given names: player #121, surname Reynolds, who joined Fulham in 1986–87; player #220, surname Crompton, who joined London Crusaders in 1991–92; and player #268, surname Molven, who joined London Broncos in 1994–95.
^ abcdeAs of 23 May 2023, the pdf list available at the LBSA website ends in February 2022 (...uploads/2022/02/London-Roll-of-Honour.pdf), ending with player #668 Calum Gahan. The LBSA html website is updated on a more consistent basis, and as of 23 May 2023 includes later 2022 additions #669 Amir Bourouh through #678 Sam Hall, as well as 2023 additions #679 Jarred Bassett through #684 Harvie Hill. Cut and paste from the pdf is much easier, so the ref to that LBSA link has been kept in this article.
