I'm sure some of the old timers might include Bert Head on their list. Geoff Thomas is about the only other one in more recent times that I would also consider. Edited by Hoof Hearted (23 Sep 2013 12.29pm) Sorry Hoof, forgot about JC, Bert is a good call but I was young at the time but in retrospect he did brilliantly with the limited resouces we had at that time. Not so sure about GT, I remember the entire Palace crowd booing him when we palyed at Wolves (he had signed for them and I think he dissed the club in some way) in a play off (I think) game. As you can see I haven't got time to check my facts and it's all from memory In GT's book 'Riding Through The Storm' he says his biggest regret in Football was celebrating at Selhurst when he scored for Wolves. He loves palace and sees them very much as 'his club'. He was always a legend for me...and later events cemented that even more so.I gave him a big hug on the pitch at Villa Park in '90 too..the poor sod !!

I'm probably in a minority of one but what about Peter Taylor ? Maybe looking at this through rose tinted specs though cos my dad started taking me and my brother regularly in the early 70's and I remember the roar of the crowd as he steamed up the wing in his number 11 shirt.Maybe more hero than legend.Played for England while at Palace in the 3rd, think there's only a handfull who've done that (Johhny Byrne was one I believe ??).And what about the winner at Chelsea in the cup 76 ? Shame about his later involvment and the way that ended but still a bit of a Palace legend I reckon.

This thread is embarrassing, Unless I am missing something (and I might have overlooked a mention) it contains the likes of Matt Jansen, who is not a Palace legend in anyone's wildest imagination, but not a single mention in four pages of Steve Kember who, surely, is a clear-cut choice in any list. Two stints with Palace, best player in our first promotion to the Premiership (arguably), legendary stints as manager and coach...put simply, part of the fabric of the club for nigh on three decades. And a local boy at that. Len Chatterton should also be on the list. As should Side-O. Palace legends are not limited to the pitch. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

The only reason I wouldn't add Budgie to a list of legends is the fact he buggered off with El SMell to QPR hahahaha. Even though he wasn't with us long due to his gambling addiction so needed his percentage from a move, I would include Kenny Sansom. Really? I thought he went to West Ham in 1962 but came back in 1967? Are we referring to the same Budgie? No......... he means Burridge.
