Palace players treated badly by our fans

[BromleyMonkey]

Nicky Chatterton was a real boo boy , with some taking the view that his selection was due to his father, Len, being the groundsman.
A bit unfair really as he wasn’t that bad and had a useful ability to make late runs into the box and nick goals.

I used to like Nick, but then in my early years I was keen and undamaged by years of hurt, so I liked them all. I think the first player I really took a dislike to was Terry Fenwick. But all these years later I have a theory about my dislike of him, I think it was because when he played it was always as cover for the always brilliant Doris and Kenny Sansom so he was always going to look a donkey compared to those two

I see them and raise you Brian Bason !

Re Tommy Langley, I was at a supporters club bash at Selhurst and got into conversation with then manager Dario Gradi. He asked what I thought of Langley. I told him that I thought he was crap and wouldn't touch him with a bargepole.

3 days later he signed for Palace 🤣

I posted earlier about our Brian Bason fan club and love in that lasted one game🤣

I was actually at Chelsea when Langley made his debut as a 16 year old so when we signed him I was really chuffed…..it didn’t last long🤣

Sadly you were right about Langley!
I rarely saw a player put in so much effort for so little return.

When Lee Sinnot was announced in the team line up there was always an audible groan from the crowd, we were just waiting for the first mistake from him, which didn’t generally take very long for folks to get on his back and give him stick.

I think it's Jordon, which is a s*** spelling, a bit like his football. Genuinely has a highlights video on the Premier League website. But from Cardiff and not long.

Darren pitcher . Southgate asked us to leave him alone in the AW . I shouted tell him not go on the piss night before

 

[Mattconrov]

In a game against Plymouth around 1987; someone in the old stand shouted - "this is f***ing rubbish "

Mark Bright turned around, stopped and shouted - "then why don't you f*** off then. Lol

 

[TheBigToePunt]

As others have said, I remember Pardew especially getting it in the neck. Phil Barber also copped it. And Eddie McGoldrick. Also Hopkins. Sometimes David Burke. Often Rudi Hedman.

That's half the team that won promotion in 1989 that we weren't having!

Reminds me of this fella standing near us giving Vince Hilaire stick, he was really pissing us off because how dare anyone slag our Vince off, anyway it couldn’t have worked out better, Vince went into a tackle near the touchline and the ball flew into the crowd and smacked this bloke full in the face, out of the whole crowd it had to be him, talk about karma.
I can still see this blokes slick back brill creamed hair now a mess and standing on end and his bright red nose because of the impact of the ball 🤣

David Burke was certainly an upgrade on what we had previously.

I felt because Hedman had a great chant , rudi, rudi, that he escaped some abuse for being terrible.

But he did have a great song.

Crash, bang, wallop, Darren Pitcher
Darren Pitcher, what a psychopath
Andy Cole heading form the goal
In comes Darren with his studs on show
Clap hands stamp your feet
Stick him on his Man U bum
Stick him in the Arthur Wait stand.

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

My mate had the ball in the Arfur when it was kicked out and Brian Bason came over and gestured to get it back only for my mate to chuck it straight into his face! Actually felt sorry for the bloke….

My memory of Vince is mainly him getting sent off for pushing the ref over.

How did Rudi Hedman ever make it as a footballer? He was even a sub in the 1990 Cup Final! I remember a game against Forest at Selhurst when he dived off the pitch to avoid Stuart Pearce tackling him. Absolutely useless and the more I think about it the worst ever….

He actually got sent off, playing against us for Portsmouth at selhurst

All changed for McGoldrick when he was switched to playing as a sweeper. Did really well and earned a move to Arsenal where he played a good few games.

That would not surprise me - video footage was barely a thing in 1991, he was up in Sunderland, and we had £2.5m burning a hole in Noades' pocket after we sold Wright to Arsenal. I was young at the time but I do remember us spending most of the Ian Wright money (£1.8m?) on him very quickly after Wright left. We were also after a right back Gary Owers for around £2m according to Ceefax but that never happened.

We did put £3million on Southamptons table for Shearer back in the day but he chose to go with those pie eating c**** up north and bought a title with a scrap metal dealer and his filthy moolah.

I remember the ref bit, perhaps not well enough, thanks!

Eddie McGoldrick used to reside in Princes Avenue,Warlingham.
