Tottenham skins.
Fourth from left ,looking away,is a mate of mine. Probably his camera,as he has load of photos from back then.
 
What was then, the fairly new Arthur Wait stand at Selhurst Park.
I must say, I did like that Palace shirt.

They changed it to this Claret and blue version which I thought was pretty cool at the time. Big Mal then came in, changed it to the Barca strip of red and blue stripes, then rebranded them as The Eagles (The Glaziers probably not seen as trendy enough maybe).

Oh and a double relegation too!!

Yup - that was also a pretty decent shirt. Looks like Hoadley, to Kember's left.
If I'm not mistaken, Gerry Queen far right of the top row. He had a habit of scoring against us.
That match against Wrexham in '77 was something else.
Birchenall top row also.
 
Looks like Steve Kember. Sold to Chavs in late '71 for what was a huge sum then, (170k!!) Immaculately timed for Chavs peak decline. A team that had won the FA cup in 1970 and were CWC holders (beating Real) slid down the table and we relegated them in 1975. Closest they came to any silver was losing the '72 LC final v Stoke.
Good shout for Kember. Looks strange without a tash.
