A great thread to read up on, chaps. I'm a Jonny-come-lately compared to most posters here as my first game wasn't until 1978 (I was 10). Clearly too young to have seen Jonny Byrne play in the flesh but I remember him waving to us on the pitch at half-time to rapturous applause in the league cup game against Southend where Wright & Bright both scored hat tricks in an 8-0 win. When he was introduced over the loud speaker, bloke behind me said "WHO?" and immediately his pal said "You're not much of a Palace fan if you don't know who Jonny Byrne is." I think he's still the only England player ever to be selected from the fourth tier (or is it the third tier?) As Palace players don't get selected nowadays even in the top tier, that's an amazing stat.

Only played 11 games for England, scoring 8 goals. How he never played at World Cup is staggering

Something I don't remember. A 20 match run without a win. It spanned the last 13 matches of the 61/62 season and the first 7 matches of the 62/63 season. If I take it further there was just 1 win in 28 matches. The past wasn't all goodness and light! Edited by Eaglehamster (30 Apr 2021 4.38pm) My dad made me a Palace fan. Never forgiven him.
