I remember Salako was against Wimbledon when Nigel Martyn got sent off, but remind me when HH did it?

It’s a good call, it definitely happened, but like you I can’t remember who it was against. I do remember Hughton breaking Gerry Ryan’s leg though against Brighton, a sickening crack echoed round the ground, but that’s another thread.

You’re right about Shrewsbury, definitely our bogey team back then

it was the shrews - we were 2-0 up, some 2nd rate striker whose name eludes me got at least one - keeper (Wood, I presume) got injured and HH came in - did some amazing reaction saves but some positional howlers let the shrews back in for a 2-2 draw in front of about 4000 fans - only a few years after the Eagle has landed, and our crowd size only really recovered by the late 90s, we didn't get great gates when Coppell was in charge, then there was that leg break - he should have got a prison sentence for that, jumped on to Ryan's shin double footed and snapped it - back page photos the next day showed the shin bone inside the sock had a break so that two bits of the same shin bone were at right angles to each other - people ruing the new leniency may have short memories, good that horror tackles have been removed from the game.

..............who I seem to remember had the last laugh, after being mocked throughout the game on his first return to Selhurst after joining Barnsley - they won 1-0.

No, but I think I recall Peter Burridge having to go in goal in the early sixties.

This might be down to my sketchy memory again but at the QPR game did some one chuck a burger a fat boy Miller which he caught. Have to blame all day drinking for my hazy memory on this one, I had grown up a bit from the Hughton goalkeeping incident.
