Quote Bubbs at 25 Mar 2011 5.36pm 18.3.89 Palace 1 Sunderland 0 The charge to promotion begins. A lucky victory through a Bright penalty lifts us out of our rut and onto a run of 9 wins in our next 11 games. In the picture a Sunderland defender is down injured as Wright looks on. Just looking through these again and I love the way Wright is standing over him as he was getting treatment. No respite. Probably giving him a load of verbals as well.

Quote Bubbs at 25 Mar 2011 5.14pm 9.4.88 Palace 1 Aston Villa 1 Forget Bostock's return, this was the day Andy Gray returned with his promotion chasing rivals, after walking out acrimoniously on Palace 5 months earlier, and didn't we make him have it... You can see him in both pictures trying his best to put one over on us. The problem was he tried too hard, and gave away a penalty with 5 mins to go after taking out Wrighty, who duly got up and slammed home the equaliser from the spot. They were the better team all day long, and it was one of those rare occasions that you felt we actually nicked something we didn't deserve. This is the game I was the match mascot! I'm having them to go with the others I've got, cheers Bubbs. Great photos, and memories, all the way through this thread and from the Whitehorse Lane end too. Was in there for almost all my early games, but in the director's box for that one. Optimistic as ever

Looks like you used to stand right next to me! I was only a tiddler 11 year old back then, but I used to just about see over the top of those huge metal railings just behind the goal at that end. From the perspective you took most of those pictures from I reckon we were within 3-4 metres of each other.

Quote Bubbs at 25 Mar 2011 5.27pm 15.4.89 Palace 2 Portsmouth 0 Pic 1: In the distance Bright celebrates scoring our 2nd. That was a strange game that one for obvious reasons. I seem to remember the atmosphere was quite muted as people with transistor radio's started relaying the horrors of the disaster unfolding at Hillsborough. I remember the first news that broke quite early on was that the match was suspended due to crowd trouble. Awful, awful day. Came home and couldn't bring myself to watch the images on the TV - i felt so sick for them. I just kept thinking: that could've been me. Any football fan that used to go in those days will tell you of the odd games when it felt dangerously crowded, especially being a kid rammed up aginst those bloody fences. Was at that game, standing in The Holmsdale Terrace. Remember fans with radios telling everyone about Hillsborough. Didn't realise how bad it was till I saw it on the news later. A sad day for football and also a momentous day which contributed and influenced the way we watch football at grounds today. Edited by dave clark 5 (13 Apr 2011 11.12pm) Facebook.

Quote Bubbs at 25 Mar 2011 4.37pm Been raking through all my old photos recently and found a load that were taken of Palace matches around the mid to late 80's. A friend of mine was a keen photographer and would take many photos during games and pass them on to me. They're not professional shots, but over the years have become timepieces of a bygone era. Still find them fascinating to look at, taking you back to those days on the terraces at Selhurst and away. Will post them up on here as and when I scan them. Hope you enjoy them too. ------------------------------------------------------- 8.4.86 Palace 2 Portsmouth 1 Andy Gray scoring one of his two goals in a great night at Selhurst against a high flying Portsmouth side. I am sure my older brother was mascot for this game. It was the game when vince and Billy Gilbert made their first return to selhurst. They were flying high pompey, and it was a cracking atmosphere, on a wet day. Sure this was 3pm saturday kick off not evening bubbs?? Love these pictures bubbs, bring back some right memories, the one of jim cannon, looks like a still from the temptation of christ! Just when I thought that I was out...........they pull me back in

Love these pictures bubbs, bring back some right memories, the one of jim cannon, looks like a still from the temptation of christ! That Cannon shot is a classic from such an embarrassing day too. In some ways losing 5-0 to Wimbledon at home was more painful than 9-0 away to Liverpool. I'm almost certain that Pompey game was at night (25 years ago now!!!!!), and also remember the rain lashing down in the first half and getting totally drenched. Gray's second goal that day was one of the best i've ever seen at Selhurst: he was literally standing by the Sainsbury's End corner flag on the left wing, smashed the ball with the outside of his boot and it flew over Knight and into the net. Not sure if he meant it but with Andy Gray it wouldn't surprise me if he did. 'Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'cos it's the one we'll never know'

1.10.88 Palace 4 Plymouth 1 Our first win of the season after 7 attempts, and started a run of 6 wins out of 7 - the only defeat being that incredible 5-4 defeat at Blackburn.

4.2.89 Ipswich 1 Palace 2 Two first half goals from Ian Wright in a space of 2 minutes seals victory for us at Portman Road. This was the game where Jeff Hopkins was sent off right at the end after the ref confused him with John Pemberton who had already been booked. The ref then put in his report that he'd sent off Hopkins for 'serious foul play', to cover his mistake, but after a video was sent to the FA disciplinary committee, they surprisingly overturned the decision realising ref Penrose had got it wrong and deleted the sending off offence from the records.
