Lived near Caterham and went to school in Croydon. Palace fan since mid 1960's. Attended many home and some away games in 1970s & 80's. Stood on old Holmesdale terraces high up behind goal. Now live in Dorset and still a diehard fan. Attended famous match in May 1979 when CP won 2-0 and promotion in front of record 51,000 fans.
Other great matches seen:
FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park v Liverpool (4-3) (greatest match seen)
4-1 victory v Ipswich in 1979 to go top of Div 1 (best home performance)
Amazing 4-2 victory with 2 late goals away at Wrexham in May 1977 to get promotion out of Div 3 and start the climb back to Div 1/PL.
Various victories against Brighton.
