Were you there for the "battle of selhurst park"? I wasn't but my Dad went. I think it was 72/3 ish. He used to tell me about it. They got stuck into us, and we got stuck into them. Sure there were a couple sent off and about 5 bookings, which was a lot back then. It might have been FA cup, actually.

I was there too. A world class goal. He must have beat 6 Everton players, and coolly slotted in the st end.
Yeah. It was moved from Belfast because it was deemed too dangerous for Englands players to travel to Ireland at the time.
i wouldn't want to be the feller who did that to Mogs. I wouldn't be sleeping too soundly in my bed if i was playing against him next time.
yep. Only bullens and old main stand had it.
I never saw either of them play. But according to me Dad, he reckoned Vernon was the superior finisher, deadly when in sight of goal. He was a fan of Young too, but thought he could be a bit of a fairweather player. Didn't take much for him to cry off with injury, and wasn't really up for a scrap with the centre half. But never denied his undoubted skill as a striker.
I remember at the time, alarm bells rang for me, when it was announced that Lyons and Darracott were to be first team coaches??? I knew right there and then, we were destined to fail under Colin Harvey.
Yeah, it was. A phrase used in the late 60s early 70s. Similar to "the dogs ........."
harry Bennett, front row, also played for Everton. Didn't quite work out for him, with Ball, Kendall and harvey in front of him for a midfield place.
are they very early mizuno boots kendall is wearing?
Then"they" robbed it and changed the words to "mighty Emlyn"
he grew too big for his boots.
