They were top of the top tier, they put a full team out and we crushed them. Their fans couldn't believe it as they had beaten Man Utd 5-0 on the Saturday, and then up we come, 3rd tier and humiliate them in their own back yard.
Walshy outshone Stan Bowles that day. :scarf:
Yours...................? (No fannying around, you can't have two, it has to be THE one :greensmile: )

Palace were flying at the time with Peter Taylor, Alan Whittle, Terry Venables and Allan Evans in the team. I recall Allison in the stands deliberately stirring things up before the kick-off by holding up 5 fingers tp indicate a 5 -0 win. That Whittle dive still gets my goat, but has there ever been a more satisfying last minute penalty save though.

We'd been struggling in the league and were written off by Westward TV before the match. Waiters brought in Mariner, Rogers and Johnson to form a four man attack alongside Steve Davey. Machin was captain and we played them off the park.

Ernie Machin dominated midfield and when Rickard sneaked in to head home.......we never really looked like losing, but of course history shows we did. :scarf:
