My memory of that game was that i took three of my daughters to watch it with me. I'm wondering if that was kids for a quid match or there local school perhaps had been given tickets? Anyway, having stuffed Pompey and heading home on the bus I asked my daughters how much they enjoyed the game. Two of them became Palace fans and are still today and the other asked me who had won. She has no interest to this day in Palace / football - I still love her though :-)

great game that day. armstrongs diving header quality. i seem to remember around this time, we were giving teams a right hiding. birmingham and west brom away stick out.
