I can’t find another thread on this, so here goes... It was thirty years ago today that Palace had imho their finest hour, beating Liverpool 4-3 after extra time in their FA Cup semi final at Villa Park. Fantastic day out, the absolute pinnacle of my years supporting Palace. [Link]

Watched it in the early hours though, me and my mate who were both Palace and about a dozen Liverpool 'fans'. Bloody amazing. "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive."

Awesome game, especially after the infamous 9-0 drubbing earlier in the season(2-0 loss at home)' Was lucky enough to be there, made a lot of friends that day. Weirdly enough on April 7th 1991, we beat Everton 4-1 at Wembley in the ZDS(skoda/carboot sale) Cup, which i believe(stand to be corrected) our only senior piece of silverware, play-offs not incl etc This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Just watched the extended highlights, I had forgotten many incidents from the game. Have to say that was a great save by Nigel Martyn in extra time from John Barnes downward header, a big moment in the game. Such an explosion of raw passion from the players and fans alike.

I watched it at a friends flat in Finsbury Park. By the time the Man U Oldham game came on I was already steaming drunk. So much so that for years I was convinced the Mancs had played Forest.
