Thorn used to do the near post flick ons at corners.
Worked quite well especially if I remember at villa Park for super Al.
Eric the ninja could put it about a bit. Wore a leather head band for extra butting power when heading the ball, sometimes.

Was you standing on the Holmesdale that day Willo, if so it might well have been me

Indeed it was Thorn who flicked the ball on and Pardew scored.
What an encounter !

What a result. I was there.

Southgate was at the game to i presume to cast his eyes over Kilman but i am sure he must have left feeling both Mitchell and Guehi might be better prospects. One thing from a Palace perspective is that the players who were largely rested from the Stoke game i.e. Gallagher, Schlupp, Mitchell and Guaita all had excellent games.
