Favourite all-time Palace 11

[BromleyMonkey]

I don't like a flat back four,so i'd says my eleven would be the Crystals.

How crass 😀

Stephenson
Wood
Holsgrove
Lazarus
Holton
Burridge/ Burnside
Kellard
Stuart Imlach/eddie werge

Not going to make this tactically sound...

Speroni

Clyne
Ramage
Delaney
Gordon

Townsend
McArthur
Ambrose
Zaha

Bright
Morrison

Henderson and Mateta knocking on the door though. Michael Hughes another notable mention. Wayne Carlisle for his exploits as my captain in Championship Manager...not sure that counts.

Oh and I forgot how much I loved Rubins at the time as well. As everyone did a subs bench then I'll make mine:
Henderson, Ward, Michael Hughes, Rubins, Carlisle, Mateta, Andrew Martin (there's a boring story attached to that one)

It's hard to leave Speroni out of favourites. Henderson and Martyn might be arguably better goalkeepers but Speroni was player of the year a few times. He was the main reason we didn't concede loads more for several seasons. But also just such a favourite. Which I can see Henderson becoming quite rapidly. Seems a bit of a character with the ability to back it up. And where are Cannon and Ninja? Come on.

I liked that the remit of this was favourite players because I didn't have to assess which players I thought were best (and get lambasted for poor choices) I have a few favourites over the years that wouldn't make the top 100 Palace players but they can make my team here.

I almost added Jobi McAnuff just because I got evil looks from my wife whilst singing his song in Co-Op when Co-Op radio put KC and the Sunshine Band on 😂
