As one of the loyal 6,000 in Selhurst, the difference in mindset is immense. After keeping the faith throughout the Mullery period in which every match was a little death we finally had someone who could score and put the other lot on the back foot.

There were a couple of night games at Selhurst in '87, I think, where I felt we had really turned a corner. Against West Brom and Middlesborough, we absolutely slaughtered them.
Plymouth 4 -1 I think he got his first ever hat trick

My favourite performance was the Plough Lane 3-0 end of season game mentioned a couple of times already. I think he missed a couple of decent chances first half and got the piss taken out of him by the Wimbledon fans at the other end. Comes out second half and scores a hat-trick, with the lob probably his best goal for us.

Seeing him on the back page of the Daily Mirror the day after he signed for Arsenal wearing that horrible yellow away kit they had was truly gut-wrenching.

Incredible to think he was 27 when he left us.

Wrighty is often at Palace. I know him well and he still has Palace deep in his heart despite what others may think. Don't forget that it was Palace that gave him his break when others, such as Brighton, told him he had no chance!

I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. I have never been more gutted at a player leaving. The phrase "Go on Ian!" is the one I seemed to use more than any other for around 6 years, every time he got the ball I expected something would come of it. I took a non-Palace supporting mate of mine to a game in 1988 on a Tuesday night against Ipswich. I told him to watch Ian Wright up front, because he would one day play for England. He scored both goals in a 2-0 win, and for the second one sold the Ipswich keeper such a dummy he more or less sat on his arse while IW waltzed past him. My mate was very impressed.

Personal highlights of watching IW:
- The goal against Brighton in the 2-1 penalties match is the best I've ever seen with my own eyes;
- The long-distance goal in the 3-0 win at the last ever match at Plough Lane;
- Turning Erland Johnsen (I think) inside out before a beautiful chip over Dave Beasant, on a balmy Tuesday night after Dennis Wise and Andy Gray had been sent off early on;
- His England debut against Cameroon - felt so proud for him and for Palace;
- Stabbing the ball in against Blackburn before the unmarked header late on to clinch it;
- His impact in the Cup Final - wow, talk about born for that moment! I screamed until I had no voice left when he did that.

Wilf, Victor, AJ - love them all, but the day they left (or signed for someone else in Wilf's case) still doesn't feel quite as bad as when IW left us.
Absolutely spot on - great post. I remember all of those instances above as if they were yesterday. Goosebumps.

I worked in a shop called Cullens in Warlingham at the time and Wrighty and his then Mrs (Debbie) were always in. He was happy to speak to anyone and had an infectious personality - got to know them quite well and was truly devastated when he left but looking back on it, and having grown up as well, do understand the reasons why.

Regardless of what you think of him as a person the performances on the pitch were the best ever seen at Palace. Doubt anyone will disagree with that.

Ah what a player. Remember we used to say his first touch was poor but his second was in the back of the net. That season that we finished 3rd you just had a feeling that every time he went on the pitch it was his time. It is just a coincidence in life that he had arrived at Palace at the same time I started going to see them and we went on this journey to the first division and then the cup final together.

My favourite ever player. When ever Wrighty got the ball anything was possible. When he first started playing for us SSC used him as a sub in the last 15 minutes or so. The amount of goals that he got after coming on as a sub.Super sub is what he was. His partnership with Brighty was magic. Like Wilf, inside you always knew that he was too good for Palace.We never replaced Ian until AJ came along. We also never replaced AJ until Glen Murray came along. What a great player. I used to tell my mates it was well worth the admission price just to watch Ian Wright.

It wasn't just that he was an incredibley dangerous striker it was also his affect in the dressing room, he was the personality the jester but also the guy with the burning desire to win.
When he left that very short period of euphoric success left with him and though we've seen a few false dawns since then i feel we've never been as close to regaining them as we are now

I always think that neither Wright or the Palace fans can really look at the period after he'd left and their behaviour during this time with much pride. For me though that's been forgotten and his interview on the centenary dvd with Bright, the swapping of shirts with Lombardo and his goal and massive celebration with the Holmesdale during the Geoff Thomas 1990 replay game have left him with a good relationship with the club again.

My first ever Palace game was the Wimbledon away match where he scored the hat-trick, so I only caught the end of his CP career. But always hugely grateful I did.

Firstly can I say what an amazing post

Secondly, how very sad is the part I have quoted. I suppose it is like the modern day urge for a small minority to publicly slate a player's family on Twitter.

It feels like Wright's departure is more akin to Dougie's as a manager rather than other players. Time will tell.

I have just watched the video and it is an eye opener; look how hard he worked compared to others 9 to 4, because h had been in the outside world. Other players did 1030 to 1230.

As he says he was honest, an honest player and we were lucky to have him for 6 years

Great post. Same memories, same sentiments.

Was one of those players where you always thought/knew he would make something happen.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The goal v Brighton especially was truly special. Still have it on DVD today

I was about 13 or 14 when Wright left. He simply had you thinking something would happen when he got on the ball. I think that era may partly be why i feel less easily impressed than some palace fans are these days.
Wright in his Palace prime was about 6 years older than Wilf is now, and whilst Wilf isn't as deadly or clinical, he has much better ball control.

Wright might have been a wonderful player for us, but he talks way too much bollocks for me to like him as a person.
