Jackson, Martyn, Speroni Yes, I'm stunned that no-one before you mentioned Lombardo. Pure class.

Kevin Mabbutt was one of the best players I ever saw in a Palace shirt. Sadly it wasn't for long. He's one of a very small number of players to score a hat-trick against ManU at Old Trafford. It wasn't for us though! Yes he was, a natural goalscorer, similar Mike Elwiss who was also class, but robbed by injury, i can remember when Mabbutt was chasing a long ball, the keeper came running out, and the ball got stuck in a puddle, leaving an easy finish.

Agree with you all about Kevin Mabbutt, in a bleak time where it was all falling apart and we were signing some rubbish he was a signing who kept us going and was a great little player. Just as well Billy Gilbert and Vince Hilaire hung around for a bit longer than others as well, Jim Cannon as well, otherwise without those four we would definitely have ended up back in the 3rd division

Never forget watching The Bald Eagle in the Flesh..........He truly was The Midfield Maestro!!! He surely must be included in any best Man squad. COYP.

I was meeting a mate (not an Eagle) who arrived looking quite stunned. I was so convinced he was winding me up we must have looked like we were in a scene from Rainman.

Dyer had the spatial awareness of David Blunkett and the football intelligence of ... I don't know, but he didn't have any. Atilio trying to shepherd him into a space and Brucie looking perplexed and stationary. Comical it was.

I would probably have gone with John Jackson instead of Burridge - Anyone not picking Jacko means they never saw him in a Palace :-)

Do loan players qualify? Some outside shouts like Ashley Cole if so.
