Paul was big fat sam's second signing and 'hardly' ancient. He was only 26. He was discovered wandering lonely as a cloud by sams then 'chief' scout name of wordsworth. He was eventually sacked for spending far too much time scouting an area south of Carlisle more famous for producing rugby 'league' players for daffodil infested places like Workington and barrow.


I'm going to go Willoesque on you now. The combination of Mariner and Bill Rafferty, at Plymouth, rivalled that of Warboys and Bannister at Bristol Rovers and Bruce Bannister went on the play for Plymouth. It is only fair to point out that I did spend most of my teens and early to mid-twenties in the Plymouth area.

I used to be a member of a team in a very challenging 'Football Quiz' league some years back.There were teams such as Blackpool,Chelsea,Reading,Sheff Wed, Burnley - there was even a C.Palace team !

I recall playing games at Barnet, at Gillingham's ground and at Dover's ground in midweek when there was snow on the ground.Some long treks !

Only if the specialist subject is Plymouth Argyle 1969 to 1979. A boy has to find something to do when he's exiled from SE London

Was Malcom Allison manager when you were down there ?
Also I have a feeling our former coach Mike Kelly was manager there sometime.

Although paul mariner did achieve the rare distinction for a footballer of gaining 'three' 'A' levels (equivalent to a masters degree today) he was, according ro my source a crap poet.

Please tell me you went (as I did) to England U23 v Bulgaria U23 in 1970 at Home Park? Norman Piper alongside the likes of Shilton, David Nish, Derek Parkin, Martin Dobson, Emlyn Hughes and Tony Currie in front of 28,000. I had to beg my Mum to let me go, as the ticket was a massive four shillings!

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Great news, first choice or not who would have thought a couple of seasons ago we'd get a quadruple Dutch league winner...

Honestly it shows how far we've come in such a short time.

Super happy about this appointment!

No picture of De Boer's head super imposed on Benteke holding a Palace shirt yet then?

I speculates that whoever is announced, whenever they are announced, we will be told they were always our first choice (even if they weren't).

I wonder if he's said Yes yet.

I guess it'll be announced tomorrow. Time to bloat Transfer Talk.................

You probably knew this anyway.

Sometimes the quotation marks go out the window when he gets pi**ed off. You'll never guess who else has this trait.
