Crystal Palace in the early 80's...we lost..in fact I have never seen us beat CP ever...fucking ever, I even went to the FA cup game at the lane 3 years ago and we sodding lost again..I now avoid CP like the plague..
Palace fixtures remind me of the end for Jimmy Greaves in 1970, dropped after cup defeat and then sold to West Ham.
 
27th December 1977, Division 2, Spurs 1-1 Mansfield. Attendance about 35000. Sat in the east stand upper with my dad. Not a classic but I'd never seen anything like it. All those people. The floodlit ground an oasis of colour bringing a bit of festive cheer to the drabbest of days. Standout player was Peter Taylor but I remember McAllister and Daines putting in a shift so we must've been under pressure. A formative afternoon.
