My personal opinion is that he is up there with a few of the Palace legends right now.....Possibly top.

On the basis of the following variables: In fact I’d stick my neck out and say he’s the best player to ever wear the claret/red and blue.

Obviously it partly depends on the length of time you have followed Palace as to who you include in your list of legends. Some older folk might include the likes of Johnny Byrne (just a bit before my time - just). I often think the best time to decide where a player sits in the list of legends (and it is always going to be subjective) is after the player has departed the club when you have the whole picture. But that's a bit boring - and yes, Wilf I am sure will sit in everyone's top 5 and for many right at the top. We have been very lucky and privileged to have been able to watch him develop into the player he now is.

For me he's number 1, been with us since he was 9 I think, loves our club, would never see him kiss another clubs badge like wrighty. You can genuinely see his palace through and through. Sansom, Wright and lombardo are at this stage better players and I know the older fans will say Jonny Byrne is our greatest player but I'm too young to judge. With a bit of luck and the right club and manager he could go on to be more successful than any player to have played for palace.

Let's also not forget the likes of Steve Kember Nigel Martin, and (for all the wrong reasons) Trevor Aylott

The centre of everything the club does for years. He fits the mould of what everyone would say they want and like most about a Palace player - local kid, through the academy, a bit of a maverick, extremely skilful, no ego, works hard, plays with a smile on his face and genuinely feels every result like a fan does
