Sad news. His time at Palace was brief but who can forget, if you witnessed it, that storming performance of his against Sheffield United in December 1971.

We all tend to eulogise about the 5-0 demolition of Man Utd the following year, but the reality is the win over Sheff. Utd was in some ways more impressive in that they were a side riding high in the table, as opposed to Man Utd who were on a poor run of form and struggling in the lower half of the table at the time.

There is film of that Sheff. Utd game out there but I always struggle to locate it. If anyone could post it I, and many others, would be very grateful.

RIP Yogi

Thanks for that TE.
Not quite how I remember it. I think I had embellished it a bit over the last 52 years. Still a cracker.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.
