The moment that changed everything and oh so nearly won us the cup. Phil Barber leaves the field as a certain Ian Wright is about to explode on the match. In a pre match interview that morning, Wrighty proclaimed: 'I was born for this day!'

Full time and the players salute the fans. Far left, looks like Paul Ince walking round with Wright and Bright. Further along, Pardew, Martyn, Thorn and Madden.

May 13th: Queing for replay tickets in the Sainsbury car park. Me like many others left Wembley and went straight to Selhurst to queue up overnight. Actually met and chatted to John Pemberton's family that evening, getting a cab outside the ground i think they were. Was shocked to hear them tell me that John wasn't that happy at the club - didn't say why - and was looking to leave. Didn't quite believe it at the time but sure enough, the replay was his final game for Palace and he left for Sheff Utd in the summer.

17/5/90 FA Cup Final replay Palace 0 Man U 1 Judging by the stewards circling the perimiter fence, looks like this was taken at the end or very near it.

28/8/90 Div 1 Palace 2 Chelsea 1 Our first home game of our most successful league season ever. Most memorable for two moments: Gray and Wise both being sent off after Wise took Gray out with a two footed lunge just below the knee - Gray retaliated by stamping on Wise's ankle; and Wright's brilliant lob over Beasant to add to Gray's 6th minute penalty. It was a humid Selhurst night with over 27,000 in attendance as you can see from the packed Holmesdale below.

This was also the first game that the Arthur Waite became an all seater stand.

/9/90 Div 1 Palace 1 Sheff Utd 0 Garry Thompson's 39th minute winner seals another victory as Palace start to show that they will be a team to be reckoned with. Here Salako relays information to Thomas as Shaw watches on. Coach Ian Branfoot far left and is that 'Spike' the kit man in the middle? Two days later both Nigel Martyn and Ian Wright are named in Graham Taylor's 22 strong England squad for the upcoming international against Hungary.

15/9/90 Div 1 Palace 2 N Forest 2 Palace went into this game knowing that a victory would land us top of the league, only ever achieved once before in 1979. Despite a rare goal from Richard Shaw after just 82 seconds, Stuart Pearce scored 2 goals in 3 minutes to put Forest 2-1 ahead. Thomas scored a unusual equaliser in the last 10 minutes with a looping header from the edge of the penalty box. We end the day fourth but still unbeaten after 5 matches. Stuart Pearce celebrates his first goal - a rare mistake by Martyn, as Coppell and Branfoot watch from the bench.

Andy Gray making his return from suspension from the bench lines up a free kick. Someone better tell that policeman above the 'millets' advert to duck. Out of interest: i wonder if Uncle Ron charged Sainsbury's for subtley placing their name on top of that building behind the wall of the Whitehorse?
