This thread has been inspired by Sakho who for me would make one of the places at center half , probably alongside Jim Cannon .

I would rate him as one of the most gifted and classy players ever to have pulled on a Palace shirt. I can only recall Attilio Lombardo exerting as much influence on a game as Mama. I've witnessed the like of Cannon, McCormick,Blyth, Evans, Coleman, Young and I have to say that Mama, although not a Palace player as such, is easily the best I have seen. I really do rate him as world class which, imo, none of the others were, True, he cannot be called a Palace great; you have to have played regularly through thick and thin many a season but he really is the bee's bollocks, this one.

Asked my Dad this at the pub earlier. He's never seen a better centre half than Sakho. Trying to work out who'd we'd seen who was better and couldn't really come up with an answer !

Although the West Ham side of the time was a successful one in terms of the players in the squad, it was by no means top of the pile - nowhere near and Stephenson didn't really cut it on the international stage. He never exhibited the leadership qualities of Cannon of Sahko either.

Stephenson played for us for over 5 years in the 60s and I think made over 150 apppearances for our club so plenty of time to assess him ! Ron Greenwood signed him for West Ham.
