Palace players A-Z

[Txomin Etxaniz]

These games seem popular, so let's have a bash at creating an alphabetical list of your Palace favourites over the years. All-time greats are obviously preferred, so try to avoid any donkeys unless you're totally stumped. Right, I'll start with...

...err, Lief Andersen...

...only kidding, Chris Armstrong.

Next...

[Justin]

No reference books here. I am still trying to work out if Dobbo's last two entries are a play on words.

[Txomin Etxaniz]

You've spelled his name wrong Sandy, it should be Jeff 'Opkins (og). the letters in brackets are an integral part of his name.

Gareth Ormshaw

[johnny]

Denis Uphill

[johnny]

...Tom Vansitart (classic Palace name that)

[richit]

Alan Whittle
Bob Woodruff
Terry Wharton

[PJ]

Sorry, but Sun Ji Hai doesn't count for either "J" entries; Chinese surnames are listed first while the second and third are given names, ie we signed Mr Sun and Mr Fan (Ji Hai and Zhi Yi to their Mum's).
My immediate thought was Chris Jones although he fails the no crap players rule ... how about Derek Jeffries.

[richit]

Some people, anything to get around having to put in a Z

[johnny]

...The "dead ball" expert from Israel,missed a penalty against Southampton,can't bring myself to write his name.

[richit]

Clive Allen

[BJ]

[richit]

Stan the Man: Stan Collymore
2 Palace goals to his credit

[This message has been edited by richit (edited 29 May 2000).]

[BJ]

Fraser Digby

[PJ]

Edwards ... can't remember his first name. Scored our winner in the relegation decider against Burnley. Ian perhaps.

[Honorary Indian]

My late grandfather was very enthusiastic about a 1920`s Palace and Ireland ace called R.McCracken and I must say I do find the name very arresting.My own personal favourite is that 70`s hero Peter Taylor.A fine winger.

[Lin - Woolpacker]

What happened to the alphabetical order?

Are we allowed players on loan. If so Forsell. If not I'm stuck.

[richit]

You're stuck at F???

What about Freedman, Fenwick, Francis, Flanagan and Finnigan?

[PJ]

George "Stroller" Graham.

[richit]

Ray Houghton

[Dobbo]

Henry Hughton

[Dobbo]

Andy Irvine

[PJ]

Stewart Jump c.1975

[SIMON OF SELHURST]

Stewart Imlach, came to us from Forest, played in their 59 FA Cup Final side. Played
1963 and 1964, smallish Scot with a crew cut.

Statto style correction...

Alan Irvine. What a goal v Forest in the snow. Classic.

[SIMON OF SELHURST]

Venables, good player, promising young manager but we should have shot him after promotion in 79.

[Dobbo]

Think you're loosing the plot Simon. Posted Imlach first time around, and can't work out how Venables follows the letter "J" unless you were thinking of a four letter word using a K instead of a C.
So Steve Ketteridge to you !!!

[PJ]

... bring us back to "L"

Andy Linighan

[richit]

Paul Mortimer
Kevin Muscat

[Vince Hilarious]

George Ndah...

[Vince Hilarious]

( How the hell do you post these bleeding smiley things anyway? ) ;sick

[Dobbo]

Martin O'Connor - did he ever get a game in the first team ?

[Chris K]

Remember Glenn Pennyfather from the 80's. (I think that was his name)

[Glazier]

Gerry Queen - Scored second ever goal in top flight at home against some northern team who play in red on 9/8/69 att.48,610 gate receipts £16,250. (Bet Goldberk wouldn't know that)

[Dobbo]

Andy "Fat Boy" Roberts. Can't believe he was once our record signing....until I think who replaced him with that honour http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/surprised.gif http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/surprised.gif

[Sandy of Cornwall]

John Sewell aka Shovel. Our 60's captain I seem to recall.

[Ralph]

Barnsley (a) 1994 won 3-1 Williams 2, Armstrong / Redfearn

He played in central midfield with Southgate.

David Giles

[Vince Hilarious]

Vince Hilaire....had to wait for that one
http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/supergrin.gif

[Dobbo]

Realised this thread has got stuck so cheated a bit.
George Irwin - played in goal in the 1920s then returned to manage the club during 1939-47. Can't have been difficult since few games were played during the war.
No, I don't remember seeing him play. Trolley might though. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[PJ]

Chris Jones ... toe-poked a goal 3 minutes into his debut against Wolves in 82/83 but did very little else. The archetypal early 80's Palace striker. (see also Brown, McCulloch, Edwards, Langley, Cummins, Mahoney etc etc)

[richit]

Ketteridge

[PJ]

Tommy Langley ... another lengendary striker.

[Big Fella]

Tony Mahoney. (Really starting to plummet the depths now).

[PJ]

Gavin Nebbeling ... ("I've never met a nice South African" etc etc)

[richit]

OTULAKOWSKI

[Mike Douglas]

Thomas

Can I go to bed now cos the only U anyone has come up with so far is Uphill.
I also want to prebook Willy Wallace for the next W.

[richit]

That's cos Uphill IS the only ever U.
Sorry, no pre-booking allowed.

[PJ]

John 'Umphrey ... (ha bloody ha)

[Dobbo]

Strangely enough, don't think anyone has posted Vegetables yet, or was it done under C.

[Mike Douglas]

Willie Wallace

So there Richit!!
