dave 'it had to happen' swindlehurst

david 'looking to curl one' hopkin

From my time only I'd have to say

Ian Wright
Vince Hilaire - iconic in the sash
Jim Cannon
Geoff Thomas
Nigel Martyn

All 5 solidly comfortable in 'palace legend' status for what they accomplished whilst at the club.

There are loads more of course, just 5 will always lead to debate. Kember, taylor, rogers, byrne were before my time, Coppell of course if you're including managers - don't underestimate what he did for our club, we could easily have been the size of Leyton Orient today if it wasn't for him.

It's also a fair point that a true palace legend played for us before most of us were born - Peter Simpson had an outrageous scoring record for us.

Not just by Palace standards either, by any standard. Six goals in one game!

I reckon Aki should be on the 'recent' list. Maybe the most intelligent, witty and entertaining player to have played for us in recent times. Fans loved him.

Pleased to see Peter Simpson who clearly should be in any all time 5. But by the same token so should Johnny Byrne. Just look at his England record whilst playing in the bottom divisions.


 


lo Selhurst silva felix, lo Selhurst cara nutrix, viget, vigeat, vigebit! Best team:- Jackson; Gilbert, Evans, Cannon, Sansom; Hughes, Kember, McNichol; Byrne, Holton, Wright.
