Yes I was involved but spent the time on the touchline.I had to take my boots home with me that night as I was playing for the Juniors the next day and I travelled home on public transport.

Hi thanks for the memories. The 9-1 victory was an amazing game with Southamptons goal coming from a penalty.

Hi. After leaving Palace I played Southern league football but the injury I substained whilt playing with Crystal Palace made it hard to stay in the top flight of football. I moved to Spain where I became the goalkeeper coach to Huercal Overa Almeria, who play in the second division of the Spanish league. I played my last competitive game at the age of 62 savig two penalties in a shoot out.

Were you at Palace at the same time as a black lad called Malcolm Beeson?. He never made the first team but did manage a game for Orient before drifting out of the league.

Chris Large
Hi Chris's daughter,
I sent the below message to you via your personal email address in 2018 after reading your post; however, am unsure whether you received it, so here's hoping this time. I remember your dad and his family very well. My family lived in Leslie Grove, just round the corner from Chris. His sister Veronica is a year older than me and I took the same educational journey; Oval, Tavistock and Heath Clark. My mum was friendly with Mrs Large, and they would always stop for a chat if they bumped into one another whilst out shopping etc. In the summer of 1972, I went with Oval on a trip to Dieppe: Mrs Large came on the trip to do cooking etc for the party along with Mrs Dawes whose son Ian — a fellow Oval pupil and already light years ahead in football brain terms than those of us two years his senior — ended up as a pro playing for QPR and Millwall. I recall Mr Large drove a motorcycle combination and sported a large 'Jimmy Edwards-esque' handlebar moustache. At that time I was the school goalkeeper at Oval, and your dad came along to Bingham Road recreation ground to coach the team on several occasions and spent time with me specifically, giving advice on various facets of goalkeeping. I think it came about as Veronica was in Mr Wadsley's class, and Mr Wadsley ran the school team The coaching was unofficial as Chris hadn't taken any badges etc; I remember on one occasion at Selhurst Park during the school holidays, where I'd go and get autographs; whilst he was signing my book I asked your dad when he was coming to coach us again. '"Shhhh" he said looking round " I'd be in trouble if that got out. I'm not supposed to be doing it!" Your dad was a lovely guy as were his parents, and it was a genuine thrill to be coached by a Palace player. The fact that I remember him so clearly after a period approaching 50 years is testament that what he did was very much appreciated. Please pass on my best wishes and thanks. |
