Agreed. I also still like the early 70s Palace kit, and the WHU away ....Pop Robson - there's a memory!

I suspected that would be the case but hoped for better. I wasn't there obviously but strangely feel ashamed.

Thank you for the reply. The collective knowledge here is admirable.

I'm sure our crowds weren't on their own for this. Must have been awful for black players then. Still needs some sorting but back then...... ?

It was a totally different era, no way would they get away with it now - The Bananas thrown at John Barnes at Goodison was embarrassing , but he just waved it off as banter to cool the hostile atmosphere ....
