Easter Monday 1982
Unbelieveable, Paul Cannoville comes on as sub just before the end of the match to make his debut as Chelsea's first black player, they are winning 1-0, and they ALL booed. I know people here don't like Man U Brighton, Charlton etc but they hae always topped my hate list.

I think it was in January or February of 1948 and Palace were playing Port Vale in the FA Cup. For the first time ever my Mum and I arrived 15 minutes late and Palace were a goal down. I don't remember how we equalised but we did before half time and during the break I was able to get a butchers at the programme and I noticed that the name Farrington had been penciled in at half back in place of Tommy Reece. The chap standing next to us said that Roy Farrington was a trainee and was only 18,it was his first senior game. Well about 15 or 20 minutes from the end Palace were awarded a free kick about 25 yards out on the left as they kicked towards what is now the Holmesdale end. Up steps Roy Farrington and has a go. It was not a good free kick because it was not high enough into the box and before it reached anywhere near goal it bounced a couple of times and eventually bounced over the goalie's shoulder and into the net and Palace won 2 - 1. I think it was the only goal Farrington ever scored for us and I never saw him play again for the first team but I remember going home all chuffed and was sure Roy Farrington would be in the Palace team for years to come.

The old woman who sold peanuts up by the turnstlies at the Holmesdale end. She freaked me out I seriously thought she might put a curse on me..........lol. I used walk past her with my eyes fixed on the pitch.

Sorry if she was your mother!
