Glad there's at least one person older than me on hereAnd I thought I was an old bastard.
You mean the European Cup we were fucked out of thanks to a cheating Benfica?
Was ben davies still at the club back then?
First Spurs was at Palace 1972 New yrs Day, 1-1 Chivers direct free kick taken twice. The away end immediately held up their scarves making it look like a sea of stripes. Very cool I thought.
Season before I saw my first professional game, Palace v Spam 1-1. Greaves turning out for spam.
69-70 a mate and I walked down to Bromley's Hayes Lane "stadium" to see them play Sutton Utd. God knows why. I must have been 10. We tried to be enthusiastic as Bromley won 2-0 only to be told that we'd been supporting the wrong team lol.
It turned out to be the worst season in their history, immortalised in the book the Bromley Boys. Very good book, a season of football right at the very bottom.

Spartak Moskow home 08/09, sat East upper, but barely even remember the game. Apparently we went 2-0 down before a 2-2 comeback

I remember Shakhtar Donetsk that season.
Got west stand upper tickets. Very very central.
Behind us was this group of Ukrainian women who looked like supermodels.
Not one of them below 5ft 9. All stunning.
Figured they were the WAGS. West stand upper. Made sense.
Game ended they just left their seats, walked down the stairs in front of us and walked down the high road. Nothing to do with the players at all.
Next level totty is clearly just standard fare in Ukraine!!
3-2 Home win Vs Sheffield Wednesday.
19 October 1997 for my 10th birthday.
I only remember Ginola scoring, and that the atmosphere was incredible and also I fell in love for the first time with a women behind us.

1964/5 Burnley at home.
Leicester at home 1973.
1-1,Gilly for us,Weller for them
That bloke you have on your avatar picture, I saw him live at a circus about 20 years ago. He got two audience members to stand each side of him and grab some neck skin each, then pull, so he looked like some kind of giant reptile. Crazy.
The first game at Loftus Road tends to under the radar.
We were quite fortunate that day, as Rangers missed some really good chances.
Same with Exeter in the 6th round, until we put the game to bed in the second half.
Yup. I remember it well. Cried my eyes out as a 10year old. From what I remember, perfectly good Spurs goals ruled out for offsides that clearly weren’t. We had a team then who were worthy of being European Champions. I think Eusebio was playing for Benfica, a fantastic player.
2nd Division November 77 - Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Tottenham (Duncan Moores)
Was also there.
I remember the Palace fans being up in arms about our 2nd goal, saying that PT fouled their goalkeeper before Duncan scored.
