Malcolm Allison ! He turned us from a drab back street South London club to a club we could all be proud of ! New modern kit New modern Nickname and built us a fantastic team through the youth team. Just a shame they did not give him one more season so he would start to see the fruits of all his hard work. just a shame that Judas Venebales came a long and took all the glory. He got us Peter Taylor one of the best players I had ever seen , playing him on the other wing was a master stroke ! I will never forget that 76 cup run !! went to every game , the hat , going up to the opposing fans end giving his score prediction completely taking the pressure off of his young side and putting all the pressure on himself ! So many players were local lads Nick Chattertons Dad Len was even the groundsman !! This great man gave me some of the happiest days of my youth ! He loved our club the way we the fans loved it ! Years later when we played Liverpool in that famous semi-final I recorded it and played it back hundreds of times. But what I will always remember was Malcolm Allision was interviewed at half time. We were 1-0 down and being outplayed. While Venables and Wilkins were back in the studio pissing themselves at the thought of a Palace victory Malcolm Allison said I think Palace are stronger , if they can push up from midfield to get to the big lad up front I think they can win it :=)) God bless you Big Mal , we will never forget you RIP.

The bald Italian, can't remember his name.

I remember - Lombardo - kidding really, it has to be Coppell doesn't it?
