He'd have been no good at the footie, but bang on if there was going to be a shower or two

Ha!
I know things were different then but I would be genuinely interested in the life of a player whose playing career spanned over 42 years.

I have to be honest. I couldn't care less about this.
If the club want to claim that the name Crystal Palace itself justifies the new date without any administrative link, then that is fine. It doesn't mean that others have to accept it.
I see it more as an honorary link as much as anything else. The name along with the representation of the area, the relocated Crystal Palace exhibition and the FA Cup history merits some recognition that only we can claim. Why not claim it, even if it does not link directly to 1905.
The idea that the historical and current team are eternally connected will become 'the truth' if we say it enough times.

Just online at ebay. They actually do loads. Quite pricey, but given the occasion a nice momento.
Speaking of which you could also try clive tyldesley notes if you want a reasonably ish priced framed arty type item. Genuinely interesting even though he didn't commentate on the game.
