I went to every game in the '76 cup run, which was absolutely amazing, even if it ended in tears against Southhampton. We should also remember that he set up the youth system that (nearly) produced the 'Team of the Eighties' and won the FA youth Cup twice... Good on yer, Mal!

I wasn't around when Big Mal was manager, but I wish I could thank him for picking the Eagle and the red and blue colors for the club. Really like his sense of humor, too, based on quotes I've read. RIP, Mr. Allison. BOOM!

Dont know if this is anywhere [Link] Eagles pay Allison tributes Crystal Palace have paid tribute to former manager Malcolm Allison, who has died at the age of 83. `Big Mal', who also managed Plymouth and Manchester City twice, as well as Palace, first took charge at Selhurst Park in March 1973, but suffered consecutive relegations in his first two seasons. A club statement read: "Allison will always be remembered for the 1975/76 season when, as a third division club, he led us to a fantastic FA Cup run that included wins against Leeds, Chelsea and Sunderland and booked our place in the semi-finals for the first time in the club's history. The cup run ended there at the semi-final stage with defeat against Southampton, but this period of the club's history will always remain as one of the most memorable times for thousands of Palace supporters. "He made a short return as manager in 1980/81, but the 70s and his Fedora will always be what Allison will be remembered for at Selhurst Park."

Eagles pay Allison tributes
Crystal Palace have paid tribute to former manager Malcolm Allison, who has died at the age of 83.

The big man would not want silence, we should give him the biggest cheer & clap to his memory. He gave me the best years as a Palace supporter,I went everywhere during the 74-75 season(missing 3 games home & way) & but for an accident,would have done the same in the 75-76 season. Very sad day. Quote bright&wright at 15 Oct 2010 12.25pm Gutted. I can't imagine there will be a minutes silence tomorrow somehow, best leaving that till the next home game. A true charecter that will always be remembered in Palace history.

I still regard his few years at Selhurst Park as some of my most enjoyable times as a Palace supporter, despite the two relegations in two seasons. My favourite memory is the 5th round FA Cup match at at Stamford Bridge in 1976 when he walked across the pitch before the game in fedora & sheepskin coat and raised 3 fingers to The Shed. We won 3-2. Priceless. For anyone wanting to know more about his life and career, I can recommend "Big Mal. The High Life and Hard Times of Malcolm Allison, Football Legend" by David Tossell. Its a great read and leaves you thinking, if only...

Quote eagle in cornwall at 15 Oct 2010 1.20pm I can see him now on that first day of the season against Notts Cty.He had a touch line ban on him so wasn't allowed on the bench. He came out with the players and was having a kick around before it started and the ref didn't know,he got away with it. Larger than life..a man i will NEVER forget. That has to be one of my most depressing days as a Palace fan, 1-4 was really looking forward to the season starting expecting great times ahead, promotion etc, but that was just the start of a most depressing season which went from bad to worse. RIP Malc.
