Palace were a real good side back in the late 80s early 90s I'm a Birmingham fan but after watching that semi final against liverpool at villa park iv always had a soft spot for you guys ,,,, .that red with blue striped kit is unique with palace loved it
I used to go to palace in those day and was at Selhurst when Birmingham fans kicked off in the late 80s. Funny thing is I moved away to Wales years later and work with a Birmingham fan who was there that day. He's a good friend now.
Been looking for this match for years! Thank u for posting it. Was at this match with my parents. It Was a fantastic day out. My late dad who was palace thru and thru was over the moon...never saw him so happy 😁
A year previously we'd been in the FA Cup Final v. Man Utd. Had to queue up all night in the Sainsbury's car park to get the allowed one ticket each. Allocation was 15,000, 25,000 for the Mancs and 40,000 for the FA hangers on. A year later for the Zenith Cup, it was 40,000 tickets for each club more or less. Was able to go with the whole family. Still remember Geoff's face as he lifted that trophy..
Great clip from a time when there was no bitchiness about trophies. Any Cup Final or League is worth trying to win , something Spurs would do well to learn from.
The big white moonlike death balloon (in the TV series The Prisoner) didn't deaden (nor dead end) number 6 (aka number 1) chasing his own tail.True story. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dcq2Ape4DTw.html
The Full Members Cup was the forerunner of the Football League Trophy. I love the Football League Trophy. A good way to improve the Football League Trophy, would be to invite Celtic sides into the Football League Trophy. The Scots already allow English, Welsh, Irish and Ilster sides into the Scottish Challenge Cup. I say the English should invite all Scottish Premier sides who have not qualified for Europe, plus a selection of Welsh Premier sides into the Football League Trophy. Imagine games like Connahs Quay v Portsmouth, or Aberdeen V Blackpool, or Sunderland V Hibs.
