It was 7(Seven) years ago tonight . . .

Probably one of the top 5 of my moments of seeing Palace 'live' & because we had the 'Trouts' boss with us, we had tickets in the 'Arthur' right next to the Bin-dippers. So many emotions that night along with a great time before & after in the 'White Horse'

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Me and the missus must have been very close to where you were sitting. The noise and atmosphere at that game was like the old days.

There were 2 Danish tourists near us (one foolishly sporting a half-and-half scarf) on a football holiday who had seen a really dull Chelsea 1-0 game a couple of days earlier and had come to this match presumably to watch Liverpool. The look of unbridled joy on their faces after the equalizer went in and we erupted all around them with a deafening chorus of "we love you". They left as Palace fans...

I guess because of that night he is a club legend.

Unfortunately he never found any consistency with his goal scoring. He scored 7 goals in the PL that first season but those goals came in just 5 matches. After that he only scored another 8 goals in the following two seasons.

I'm puzzled by that. My recollection is that our first goal came from a Delaney shot from distance which took a deflection; the second by Gayle after a break-out by Bolassie; and the third from a way-out free kick which Murray chested down for Gayle to slot home.

It was so deft most of us never noticed it

Very!
