Funnily enough, one of my strongest memories of that night for some reason was the ball being played across their 6 yard box and Steve Kember sliding in just missing putting in No.3.

I was in the Whitehorse and remember queing up for what felt like ages to get in. Also have a memory of the 1979 FA Cup Final programmes - Arsenal v Man U - being sold outside the ground.

'Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's the one we'll never know'

I was there in the Athur Waite corner next to the Holmesdale. Fantastic night unbelievable crowd & atmosphere and the beer certainly went down well after the game.

I was there aged 14 and the only things I remember was the sheer enormity of the crowd when squeezing into the Holmesdale behind the goal and it was only 6.25, and Walshy's goal and drinking fizzy pop in celebration. That's it. A minute's worth of memories in the biggest night in Selhurst Park's history. What the fvck happened to the other 3 hours?

Big chest and massive boobs

Becuase we were all happy and did not have a bunch of mornic incompetent coppers in charge of safety. . .

Not that I would want to point a finger at those in charge on the day...

Taking the bungy jump since 1964. Never to see John Jackson in a shirt again

Sorry to see Lee Hills go, did we ever see Alex Marrow? We did January 2013

i was there i was 18 and got to the ground about 5.30 in the holmesdale i took one of my younger brothers.the holmesdale was rammed at that time we could hardly move.i remember the p"ss cascading down the terrace because you had no chance of getting to the toilet.you could see thousands outside the ground after kick off through the gap between the Whitehorse and old stand.there was a massive banner in the Whitehorse saying the eagles have landed .it was an amazing night i will never forget.i went on my first ever foreign holiday next day to benidorm so bought all the papers to take with me we were all over the back pages and some of the front ones too .topped up in a bar full of manx and arse for the cup final and got a massive cheer when they found out i was a palace fan HAPPY HAPPY DAYS

Was there at front of Holmesdale as a 16 year old,
Will never forget my ribs getting crushed countless times during game, was amazing to be on the pitch at the final whistle knowing we had robbed BHA of the title made it all the more sweeter
Amazing times at the Mighty Palace!
