I don't know him but if he reads the HOL noticeboards, I would like to pass on a huge vote of thanks to 'ageingleftback' who posts a detailed and often lengthy Palace match report in the Guardian Comments after every game.
I became a Palace fan during my time living in the UK and particularly in Streatham in 1975/76 and got caught up in Palace and Malcolm Alison's great cup run. (My mate bought a fedora). Being in the football wilderness out here in EnZed it's brilliant to read an informed (and partisan) run down of just how Palace did, who was useless and who was good and what is needed to make us better. Sometimes even a bit about the opposition. Most of the time he (or she?) puts the Guardian writers to shame and is the only reason I persevere with the website.
So.. whoever and wherever you are ALB, many thanks and please keep it up.
