Also one of the Hinshelwood brothers, and possibly Chatterton to the left.
Spot on, you certainly know your stuff! That's Nicky Chatterton, who later went to Millwall. His 2 seconds of fame is scoring at Chavs in Palace's amazing run to the FA semi 1976. Peter Taylor scored 2 great goals in a 3-2, and Chatterton's was from a Taylor belter from a tight angle that hit the underside of the bar and bounced down almost on the line.

Paul Hinshelwood. Palace's right back for a few years in a good team, but a very average player and that's being charitable. His nickname of Doris says it all. His brother Martin was a decent MF but had to retire early with injured knee I think. Latterly he was a youth coach at Brighton, which I know because a family friend's son was in their academy.

The final player in the pic is I think Billy Gilbert, useful defender.

Edit: it's not. I've just seen the beginning of that Big Match, they've shown the line ups and it's Peter Nicholas (it's those tragic 1970's footballer hairstyles). Good defender, got 70 odd caps for Wales and captained them too. Spurs connection which I hadn't realised: when he went to the Goons later, it was he who went in goal for injured Big Pat in that cup tie 1982.

Great photo. Goal scored, Shelf going mad. Happy times.

I see you that one, but the worst for me was against Oxford in the FA Cup in 1986. It was January, freezing cold and a completely open end, so no shelter whatsoever. I had about three layers, topped off with waterproofs, and I was still soaked by the end of it. We were 1-0 down and John Chedozie scored to get us the replay. It was that cold that when we cheered the goal, you could see everybody's exhaled breath, it was like a fog had descended on us. Uncomfortable journey home, didn't thaw out until I got home to a hot bath. Thank goodness we won the replay.
That’s the exact game I picked out as well!! Out of 100’s of away days that one has always stuck in my mind. Your memory and ability to describe those far gone days is wonderful and adds so much to this thread.

Thank you, I'm like that when I talk too, can't shut me up once I get going :)
Funny how the brain works, some memories from 40 years ago are as clear as anything, but I can't remember something that happened last week.
I have to resort to Google for dates though ;)

I’ve always been quite intrigued with the 60s firstly getting into the music my mate played me his dads 45 of Herman’s Hermits “no milk today” and everything else that followed fashion and then obviously learning about our history and totally random but the image above the two on the right as you look are dam fine looking women.
