I was there - got to the ground about 2 hours before KO fortunately. Fantastic atmosphere - never to be forgotten.

My head still hurts with the memory. I had a £5 pre-season bet at 33/1 that Palce would win the title. and then another after the orient game when I think it was 2/1. So celebration in all respects afterwards. As to the pub of choice.. I seem to recall The Grosvenor, somewhere near West Croydon (Youngs pub!) Pints of bitter followed by Tia Maria & vodka chasers!! then getting back to Dover and starting work (or not!!!!) at 6 am... Happy daze!!!

Three memories from the game. Happy times and such a great team. Best football I've ever seen from a Palace side. So controlled and skilful.
Mel Blyth's half-hit backpasses ... a thing of beauty (usually to the opposition centre forward) |

Amazing atmosphere. I had a real affinity with the players since I was a similar age as them. Remember have a wee in the Suppporters club after the match whilst standing next to George Graham. I went to the game with a former colleague, Mike Screech, who I haven't seen for 25+ years. Often wonder how he is.

I was squashed into the Holmedale with my late Dad. I remember I had taken a sicky off school so was there really early afternoon, and we were one of the first in. Incredibly nervy night, with a great ending. One strange memory was it hardly got a mention in the paper the next Morning as it was played on a Friday and it was the cup final the next day.

Burridge, Hinshelwood, Sansom, Nicholas, Cannon, Gilbert, Murphy, Kember, Swindlehurst, Hilaire, Walsh. 2-0 V Burnley and over 51000 inside San Selhurst. What a team. What a night!
