Favourite all-time Palace 11

My time of actually going to matches regularly limit me to 1970s/early 80s and 2017 till now. So favourites in those periods in a 4-3-3 are:

Burridge

Ward
Dann
Cannon
Mitchell

Murphy
McArthur
Hilaire

Zaha
Swindlehurst
Eze

Subs (assuming a keeper isn't required for this exercise) Doris, Evans, Nicholas, Mateta, Ayew
 
Not the most talented XI to pay for us, but I have gone for those who I saw make big contributions over a sustained period:

Martyn
Ward - Thorn - Delaney - Shaw
McArthur - Southgate -Eze - Zaha
Wright - Freedman

Subs:
Coleman
Geuhi
Mitchell
Gordon
Lombardo
Thomas
Hughes
Jedinak
Salako
Bright
Armstrong
Johnson
Murray

Manager:
Sir Steve.

Staff:
Eric Young. Once, away at Birmingham, he accidentally ended up with the ball at his feet near our corner flag. Always a cause for concern. Brum players pressed him. He reacted by calmly side footing the ball out of play for a corner, jogging back to the six yard box, and then heading the resultant cross thirty yards clear. He could be set-piece coach.

Mark Dennis. Once, at home to Spurs, he sprinted the full width of the pitch to leap over the top of a large scrum of scuffling players, landed a decent right-hander on Gazza, then jogged all the way back over to his left back slot. Job done. He could be team phycologist.

Sasa Curcic. Because there aren't enough loose cannon loons in football now.
