I think it was the season before the cup final in some sort of tournament to celebrate 100 years of the football league.

Didn`t go nick, but I think we played Sheff Wed.
Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link] |

Aah..the Mercantile Credit tournement. Yes, I was there, and yes we went out on pens to Sheff W. We had the largest number of fans there on the day, I recall.

I remember the chants of 'Bring on the Palace' I thought it was an Endsliegh tournament.

THE MERCANTILE CREDIT CLASSIC! Yes, the first time Palace really played at Wembley! This was a football league centenary tournament that clubs qualified through their form in a specific set of league matches. I seem to remember we just qualified at the death. A bit of a damp squid really with Wembley half empty - needless to say I think we were the most represented there. Anyway, we played Sheff Wed; drew 0-0 and went out on penalties with Barber I think missing the crucial one. The Palace end
