FA Cup quarter final: Sunderland 0 Palace 1 (Whittle). Absolutely freezing day, with travel chaos. But great memories.

Yep went to Roker Park as a 13 yr old with my step-Dad and future Brother-in-law.It was the coldest I'd ever been and the furthest away game I'd been to and still is! IIRC was the train delayed? "Five-foot-two,eyes of blue,Alan Whittle's after you...."Also done Leeds (got chased through town and ran into paper-shop past the counter and out the back ) and Liverpool (Step-Dad and co. had punch-up in a sports shop after being chased through town!). There was a lot of aggro in those days,great cup run tho'. Ollie's Dad,Ash

Went to Chelsea for the Valentines fixture in the 5th round. The draw was away to the winners of Stoke or Sunderland. Didn't manage the 6th round away day but did go to the semi - massive disappointment being so close to a Wembley final ...

What songs were the palace fans singing at this time lads? And did you chant Eagles by then because we had only been nicknamed that for 3 years. I could ask my 55yr old dad this when i go to his in croydon on sat for the game but just interested to hear from other 'older' palace fans too, sorry about the older bit

Absolute w***ers mate! Bet it was frightening at the time for u being a kid! Glad things aren't as bad nowadays but still obviously get the few at games today being the morons! Will never totally stamp it out unfortunately.

Missing out on promotion was a real anti-climax as was that defeat to Southampton in the semi-final.
