If you look at the crowd, a lot were wearing suits. Looked a bit like our Blues Brothers away day at Palace many years later!

Great day at Palace that was,by the way most people back then wore shirt and tie it was how people dressed especially at the weekend.

Vs Leeds I think, first home game of the season. We were dreadful but somehow went 1-0 up, Brian Deane equalised for them. Start of the end for Peter Reid...

Was at that game. Even though they equalised very late on, a draw for us was still daylight robbery. Think Flitcroft got the City goal that day.

My Grandad once told my Dad that Frank Swift dived for a penalty but the player put it down the middle yet Swift saved it by scissor kicking it out of the middle of the goal.
