Palace players treated badly by our fans

[Mattconrov]

For me Alan Pardew put up with a tremendous amount of abuse from large sections of the fan base.

He put up with that and became a legend.

I recall only insulting a player once or twice at a match.

I shouted at jeff Hopkins - "Hopkins you're s***"

To be honest, he was.

Aylott had a pretty bad rep. Hilariously his goal output far exceeds many of our current and recent lot. Although he was rubbish.

Ricky Newman.
Worst player in the Palace shirt ?

Worse than Sanogoals or Akinbadbuy?

So many bad players, it’s hard to choose between them 😱

 

[Mattconrov]

All bad players. But who got really badly abused. If you're excuse the turn of phrase. Lol

I recall a simod cup game probably around 1988.

There was a stoppage during the game for an injury.

The fans in the Arthur were singing Wrighty give us a wave, then bright etc to bide the time.

They then sang it to super Al and when he waved they booed him.

Absolutely terrible behaviour. Lol

I was at a game and Benteke missed chance after chance. I saw fans throw bottles at him - the whole lot. He missed about two open goals and we went on to lose where we should have won. Zaha turned to the crowd and shrugged with his hands out to the Palace fans when Benteke kept missing. And Zaha had a go at him at the corner of the Arthur and the Holmesdale himself: it was unsavoury if not undeserved. They were terrible misses. Worse than now even.

I heard the bottles did not miss & he collected them & exchanged them at 5p recycle shop

The one year I had a season ticket, the guy behind me spent every single game criticising Chamakh. This might not seem particularly unfair other the fact Chamakh had left us 2 or 3 seasons previously.

Brian Bason…..to be fair he didn’t stand a chance replacing the brilliant Doris Hinshelwood, but he was awful.

We actually felt sorry for him because of the stick and a mate of mine nicked a bed sheet from home to make a banner and we wrote on it ‘The Brian Bason fan club’
We took it to one game, he didn’t notice, so we gave up

Phil Barber took a bit of stick, not the greatest player but always gave his all

Blimey I forgot our Phil. He got some terrible abuse. Great left foot and crosser on occasions. Also scored a few.

The image of that haircut lived on though.

Remember spilloni when he first arrived. I couldn't wait to see the back of him 😀. Remember caybaye was for heading to the car park for a fight that time too.

He had three haircuts all at the same time.

He had three haircuts all at the same time.

And they were all rotten. Probably his greatest achievement.

Every time I see a run over squirrel I think of that haircut

Bobby Bell? A Centre half (sic) we had from Ipswich sometimes in the late Sixties, early Seventies? Named on the team sheet, but didn't appear as he fell over in the showers, washing his hair BEFORE a game. Perhaps it was going to be televised? I can't imagine he appeared after that.

Once scored an own goal from about the halfway line. A bit like Paul Hammond his main problem was who he replaced - in his case he wasn't John McCormick.

As mentioned, Aylott got tremendous stick. Even after he had left!

Phil Barber had a few bad games during my childhood and the home crowd were all over him which I found quite intimidating at the time.

I always thought Gabbiadini got slaughtered. He was no Ian Wright, in a not dissimilar way from how Sage is no Glasner. Gabbiadini tried his best and ultimately that's all you can ask from the player.

In the early 2000s Jamie Smith the right back also got some rough treatment from the fans, maybe because he was the weakest link in the team at the time.
