Looking through the programmes for this season we came up against seven managers, two who had and five who would later become Palace managers. That is a third of the division! They are:

Dario Gradi - Crewe (1981)
George Burley - Ipswich (2010-11)
Dave Bassett - Barnsley (1984 + 1996-97)
Steve Bruce - Huddersfield (2001)
Neil Warnock - Sheffield Utd (2007-10 + 2014)
Sam Allardyce - Bolton (2016-17)
Trevor Francis - Birmingham (2001-03)

That must be some kind of record?
