Ade Akinbiyi
Crystal Palace boss Peter Taylor admitted he knew Ade Akinbiyi would come back to haunt him.
Akinbiyi was such a flop during his time at Palace that fans dubbed him 'Akin-badbuy'.
But Taylor, who signed Akinbiyi for £5m when he was in charge at Leicester, is a big fan of the striker and wasn't surprised he showed his ability at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Akinbiyi was without a goal in his second spell at Burnley, but he found his form to cancel out Clinton Morrison's opener.
Taylor said: "He keeps scoring against me, the sod! He's good player and he took his goal well.
"I'd have to look at the video but it was probably a very disappointing goal for us to concede.
"He's a hard-working player; always has been and always will be."
Palace remain marooned in midtable but Taylor was pleased with his side's display.
He said: "We finished the game well. I thought we had a couple of quite good chances in the end and I'm very pleased with the way we finished.
"Burnley away is a difficult game and I'm pleased with an away point."
