Malcolm Allison? Very good. I of course meant a player. The point being it's one of those 'old' names, along with the likes of Gary, Keith etc Edited by YT (24 Jun 2022 8.19am)

As opposed to Bobbys - Woodruff, Tambling, Kellard, Bell & Bowry come to mind but unfortunately we didn't add Moore or Charlton.

Cahill? Borrowdale? I'd remembered Borrowdale but not Cahill. The old Michael Caine ain't what it was.

Perhaps Div 1 is not considered to be a good place to develop young players who were good enough to play in the championship last season. oh yeah, forgot they got Relegated - that explains that then.

In days gone by if a player had offers from Palace v Man Utd to sign for either team the chance of the player signing for us instead of Utd would have been about 1 in a million. It does show how far Palace have come that we are now more attractive to promising young players that United. The future is going to be a bright one for Palace and good luck to Malcolm all providing the signing goes through without any snags. I have a very vague recollection that when Matt Janson joined us from Carlisle in 1998(?) Man U were supposed to be interested in signing him. I have no idea if that was true at the time or if I'm remembering correctly (just checked Wikipedia and it does mention it). I also thought he had died in a car crash but Wikipedia says he had a 'near fatal' motorcycle accident, so I'm glad to say he is still alive. So maybe Matt was that '1 in a million' player.

Bored, recovering from COVID, did a search of the player database on this site and came up with two Malcolms: Malcolm Comrie (1935/36) made 2 appearances; and Malcolm Pyke (1959/60) also made two appearances. Let's hope it's third time lucky with Malcolm Ebiowei! Don't tell him your name Ebiowei. Somehow that doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

You should read his book. Very interesting and a bit sad with how his life went after the accident. He did indeed meet with and was shmoozed by Sir Alec Ferguson. He chose Palace for one simple reason. Palace told him he'd go straight into the first team. United said he would be a squad player and have to wait for his chance.

Not saying it will, or should, BUT, Wayne Rooney has walked away from Derby, he asked to be relieved of his duties with immediate affect. Caught shagging Joan was he?

I was surprised he stayed as long as he did, his reputation will surely have improved by his time there, some guy Cowans ? has just bought the ground & is (apparently) ready to buy the rest of the club so this would appear to be a good time for him to walk away with his head held high. I doubt he will be out of work long. Originally posted by eagleman13
