It was one of our balloons too!Or on a similar note Sheff U scoring after the ball deflected off of a stray balloon in the 6 yard box.
This thread could go on forever. Most of which will have involved Peter swales.
When the whole world was in economic chaos due to the 1979 oil crisis we go out and break the transfer record paying nearly 1.5 million for Steve Daley.
Allison offered £400k for him, which was turned down, then Big Mal told every man and his dog how much he rated him, how much he wanted to build a team around him and of course Wolves then inflated the price. Swales always denied it, but he basically told Wolves to name the fee. Allison couldn't believe it when he told him- and Swales thought he couldn't believe it because he was so happy!
Wolves spent the money on Andy Gray - so our headline grabbing record fee didn't even see the month out.
The fan running on the pitch at Bradford in 89,telling the players Palace were 4/0 up and we have to score
