Bobby Charlton.
World Cup Winner 1966
Played for Preston v Palace on a Sun (73/74 he was on their books as a player then at least)
Caretaker Manager for Wigan (in 1976 apparently)

That was the answer I was looking for. I stand to be corrected but I was sure Charlton played against Palace for Preston in our first home match on a sunday. He became a director of Wigan Athletic ( then a non-league team) and managed them for four matches.

Re Palace v Preston on Sunday 3rd Feb 1974

Nobby Stiles (injured?) and Bobby Charlton (given up playing?)
did not feature in the Preston team.
Man U connection maintained with Francis Burns and David Sadler
in the Preston XI

Ian, I know Charlton played about 40 times for Preston and that was his first season in charge. Are you certain he never played at Selhurst?

I remember him turning out for Preston too (although not a specific match against us). He actually appeared 38 times for them, and scored 8 goals - not a bad record for a midfielder and a retiree!

I remember Bobby Charlton playing for Preston when we won 1-0 24 Sep 1974 which was a Tuesday. He retired after leaving Man Utd end of 72-73. Had a season off and started playing again after Preston's relegation 73-74. It is in his book My Manchester United years.

There's a picture of him playing for Preston at SP in that game (which was a night game) in Hy's book and also in the Player's Lounge.

The question stated playing at Selhurst Park on a Sunday.

Bobby Charlton was not in the Preston team on Sunday 3rd February 1974 but he was mnanager at the time.

Preston team 3rd Feb 1974.

Brown, McMahon, Snookes, Sadler, Baxter, Bird, Lamb, Hawkins, Holden Burns, Treacy. Sub Kershaw

According to the PFA Players Records 1946-2005, it seems Bobby Charlton
initially gave up playing when he left United but following Preston's relegation in May 1974 he then played 38 League games for them in Division Three in 1974-75. He was in the Preston team at Selhurst Park on Tuesday 24th September 1974 (Palace won 1-0 - Mick Hill)

My mistake then. I thought he played in the Sunday game. Without the Sunday in the question we'd have had quite a few answers. Hurst, Stiles, Ball, J Charlton, Ardilles etc

When Palace beat Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final:

(a) Who were the other two big sporting winners that weekend? And

(b) Which of the three, in winning, set a record that still exists today?

Presumably you mean the 3-0 win at home on Sat 18th Sept 1999. None of Palace's team that afternoon was making their debut. Chris Sharpling made his first and only start but his debut was as a substitute at Sheffield United 2 weeks earlier.

Presumably that's who you mean. Is he on the coaching staff now ? I had no idea.

Really ? "My first palace game was against Grimsby" If the answer was a player playing for Grimsby then the question's poorly worded at best and deliberately misleading at worst.

Edit: It definitely wasn't Danny Butterfield's debut either; it might very well have been the first time that he'd played against Palace but I can't believe that the question setter seriously intended us to identify a player who was making his first appearance in a match involving Palace.

The answer has to be Sharpling. He might be a scout or a youth team coach or something now. Does anybody know ?

Think you have mis understood the question , Lewisham Eagle is saying that it was his first game at Palace, not that the player was making his debut. Which brings us back to Danny Butts, unless Clinton has resigned and it's a well kept secret :D

Maybe I'm being really thick here but the question was ...

"My first palace game was against Grimsby in september 1999 who was the only player who played in the game at palace now?"

I agree that "the only player who played in the game at palace now" could mean Danny Butterfield. But in that case, the clue "My first palace game was against Grimsby in september 1999" is wrong. Butterfield had played against Palace the previous season and anyway, if he meant a non-Palace player, I can't believe anybody would disagree that the wording of the question is totally misleading.

Not that it really matters or anything. :) I still reckon that the answer that he's looking for is Chris Sharpling.

That is spooky, I had no idea either until about an hour or so ago For some unknown reason, Friday boredom I expect I started thinking about the Fairs Cup.

You may be correct. But I don't recall him going back to Chelsea in between.

As I recall (and, I will admit, recall is no longer my strongest attribute), there was a significant gap between Tambling on loan and then signing him as a player

As I recall (and, I will admit, recall is no longer my strongest attribute), there was a significant gap between Tambling on loan and then signing him as a player

Tambling played three games on loan for Palace in January 1970, he was recovering from a cartilege op earlier in the season The first of these was at West Brom on Jan 10th and I seem to recall that WBA accused Palace of abusing the then new(ish) loan system which WBA thought was meant to be for clubs loaning players to one of a lower Division.
Then loans I think were for a maximum of three games and Tambling definitely returned to Chelsea.

Sorry, I had to look up the Tambling situation.

As Ian said, he played for us on loan in January 1970, then returned to Chelsea and signed as a Palace player in June 1970 as part of the £140,000 deal with Chelsea that also included Alan Birchenall.

Ian Hart

04-11-2009, 04:36 PM

Surely Fonte doesn't count?

Yes, he's the one I said was debatable. He came to Palace on a season's loan. At the end of that loan he returned to Benfica. He remained a Benfica player for a few weeks until we decided to buy him, albeit was the close season. Technically, therefore, he does count. But it is a debatable one.

Still one to get

It wasn't Jules, Butts, Fonte and Davis have been done, Hill is no, Carle I have asked, as with Ertl, N'Diaye wasn't, Ambrose, Lee, John and Danns weren't, Clyne, Moses, Scannell and Hills were from youth, and Sears is only on loan.

And it can't have been Fitz Hall, Watson from youth, Routledge from youth, Borrowdale from youth, Leigertwood wasn't.

Dowie signed Hudson from Fulham on loan when we were in the Championship. He returned to Fulham before the end of the season, hence not playing in the play-offs. He then bought him at the beginning of the following season. Not debatable at all.

You may well be correct. But my (very vague) recollection was that there was never a loan involved and he signed on a free transfer.

Mickey Droy (1984-87)

Giant centre-half Micky, was signed from Chelsea, after a loan spell at Luton, in 1984 by Steve Coppell. He made 263 appearances for Chelsea and was a revelation at the back for Palace at the ripe old age of 33.

He formed a formidable defensive partnership with Jim Cannon before moving to Brentford on a free transfer, where he finished his career. He made a total of 58 appearances, scoring seven goals.

Mickey, 49, is retiring to Florida with his wife and son, after selling up his electrical business.

First bit is partly wrong. Rubins scored previously for Latvia as a Palace player. .

I dont believe he did

I dont believe he did

If he didn't, then my source (the club website) is wrong.

He scored on 05/07/01 v Lithuania.

Any of you want to try and name the 24 players who have scored for their country whilst on Palace's books ?

Good question. I'm gonna give the answer to mine as I have a plane to catch and won't be back until next week.

The two firsts I was looking for -

1) First Scottish goalscorer.
2) First (and I believe only) time that a current Palace player has scored an international goal past a current Palace player.

Freedman and Kolinko.

Just to get everyone running off to their stat books, did dear old Borge Thorup ever score a 63 yard screamer for Denmark in his days of getting splinters in the rear at Palace?

Sorry to one and all, haven't had a chance to get on a computer and update the answers.

So far Gold 76,Big Bad John, PK. Leicester & Whyteleafe have come up with the following correct answers:_

Paul Bodin, Terry Boyle, Chris Coleman, Ian Evans, Fan Zhiyi, Mikael Forsell, Craig Foster, Dougie Freedman, Shefki Kuqi, Clinton Morrison, Tony Popovic, Aki Riihilahti, Peter Taylor, Ian Walsh, Eric Young.

Wrong answers were Byrne,Hopkin, Harkouk,Thomas, Curcic

9 to go, 1 of whom is slightly tenous as he was on loan when he scored the goal, another one was the subject of a small debate earlier on the thread which gave me the idea for the question.
