If you're talking brief and class. Dave Sexton. Absolute gem, obviously injured and well past his best but oozed consummate class. Apparently had a big influence on the latterday master, Johnny Byrne. Sexton scored 11 goals in 27 games before succumbing to injury. Now 80 years old.

 


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

Does anyone remember 'Fash' in a Palace shirt?!

2 games apparently. Being 25 I only remember his career vividly. He was always a difficult player to play against in a fairly good Dons team.

I am old enough to remember Kenny Brown though - for 7 games he was fantastic! Proper old-fashioned player.

I met Kenny Brown last season. He was number 2 to Julian Dicks at Grays and I got into the VIP Lounge at AFC after their game with them last season. I mentioned to him about his goal in the Play Offs at Charlton and he was over the moon that I remembered it and said to give his regards to any Palace fans I met and hoped we got out of trouble as he always had a soft spot for us even though he was an Eastender!

 


We love you,we love you,we love you and where you play we follow,we follow,we follow, cos we support the Palace, the Palace,the Palace and thats the way we like it,we like,we like it...WOAH,WOAH,WOAH!!!

A winner is a dreamer who never gives up...

Fash was on loan to us from Norwich I think but didn't take too kindly to Alan Mullery quite rightly I think at the time fining the team a weeks wages for losing 3-0 at Peterborough after winning easily 3-0 at home to go out (on pens I assume) of the League Cup. In goal for Peterborough in both games- David Seaman!

Steve Hunt. Hardly played for Palace but look at him now. It shows that it isn't always the end of the road when released as a youngster by a Club. If somebody had told me ten years ago he'd be an established International and Premiership player with bids of £5M being turned down I would have thought they were mental!!!

I seem to remember that Andy Johnson got rejected by Luton as a youngster, look at it that way and we did well to get £8M for him.

I remember Anthony Danze, I think he was signed around the same time as Eero Peltonen, anyone remember him?

I noticed Neil Banfield had three appearences for us.
He,s now the coach of Arsenals youth setup and its really him and his coaches responsible for all those brilliant youngsters they keep producing.

This one was a complete surprise to me, never knew he turned out for us but you,re absolutely correct in saying the man is a class act both as player and coach.

Ye Gods! Cedric Berthelin made the same number of appearances for Palace as Matt Jansen!

Ah Cedric Berthelin. Bad excuse for a goalkeeper if ever there was one!

Hardly worth another thread, so who's had the biggest impact in the fewest games for Palace?

Nicola Ventola (3) would be impossible to beat, if his goal had indeed kept us up.

I was so gutted when he got injured, was looking forward to seeing a whole season with him in the team.

The worst keeper I can remember was Steve Mautone - can't remember where we got him from and where he ended up after his 2 appearances, but not good!

With Berthelin though, he did have one good night...wasn't he in goal when we beat Liverpool at Anfield 2 - 0 in an FA Cup replay?
