How far back do you go? Never mind the first Palace team you remember, who was the first goalie? For me it will always be Vic Rouse.

The first one I really remember is the legend John Jackson very underrated (not by Palace fans).

One more point

The great Jacko for me. The papers sometimes called him as Stonewall Jackson. Can’t see many footballers being compared to civil war generals these days.
The reserve goalie was Frank Parsons who I think used to drink in the Man of Kent in lower Sydenham.

Alex Kolinko is the keeper in my earliest memories.. I was about 9 years old and I do vaguely remember something happening where he got punched by the manager or he punched the manager..
all i really remember clearly about him was him having a rather large hooter.

The great and aptly named Bill Glazier - Jimmy Hill paid us what was a world record fee for Bill in 1964 - and he was only 21 when he left.

The unique John Burridge
