Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of Billy Gilbert's debut away to Blackpool.
I stand to be corrected, but I think he was our last home grown player to play regularly at centre back. Every other centre back since then has been imported.
Gareth Southgate played primarily for us in midfield and only became a regular defender after he had left for Villa.

What we would give for Billy's boots in the team today. What a centre-half. Mr Consistent who never took prisoners. I make you right about him being our last home grown centre half which is a surprise. 18 years old. Just wouldn't happen today at Palace which is a regrettable.

The problem is Billy would spend a lot of time off the pitch serving bans.Tackling as he used to is no longer allowed.

Great player
Our scouting system was so much better then though under Arnie Warren
Winning the FA Youth Cup twice ( I was there )
So many internationals those teams delivered .
Fenwick , Sansom , Nicholas , Walsh , and on and on . If I included under 18 and under 21 the list would be endless

I think he started in the first team at Full back then Centre Half but as you quite rightly said predominantly Midfield.
Remember the stamping on him at Villa Park.?

 


Palace 13th 2017/18.
