Peter Taylor.
I hated the day he became our manager as I knew know-nuffinks like my boy and his generation would forever dismiss him if he failed. (which he did)

I know it's going back a bit but I go for Cliff Holton. We were at the bottom of the old Div 3 when he arrived late in 1962 and not only was he one of the main reasons we stayed up that season but we finished 2nd in 63-64 to get back to Div 2 after nearly 40 years.

I've got an older brother who took me to my first game at Selhurst Park when I was 5 in 1969...He was 16, my older sis was 14 so I obviously wasn't the planned child, as they liked to remind me in later years but he forever went on about his favourite ever Palace player - Vic Rouse. He put him above Byrne.

Wilf all the way, if my kids were born now there's a good chance I'd name them after him.

Vince, Wilf and Clinton. Luka is on his way, but needs to hang around for another few seasons at least.

AJ for me. My favourite time of supporting palace and I remember walking out of the gents at Bluewater with him when my phone rang, ring tone being his chant. He looked at me smiled to which I said yeah I'm palace and that is because of you. I then said the person ringing was a palace fan so AJ says let me answer to which he did

Back in the day when players could be found in pubs pre game, a very good mate of mine, as a very cocky 17 yr old, went up to Bryne, as he propped up the bar, and told him in no uncertain terms how shit he thought he was. They agreed to meet up for an exchange of views after the game via the medium of fists. My mate turned up. Bryne didnt. |

Just for the fact that I always thought we might score when he had the ball, Ian Wright,
But having watched my first game on NYE 1966, there are plenty who run him close.

Geoff Thomas. I remember feeling so happy when he was called up to the England squad as he was, to me, so much about what Palace is.
A bloke given a chance and him taking it. And then the leukaemia happened and he only went up in my estimation. |

It'll always be Peter Taylor for me. I got his autograph so many times that in the end, he knew my name.
I loved him so much that I used to try and play like him at school...holding my sleeves in my hands and that. I love Wilf but Peter Taylor was better to me. My older brother took me to the England game at Wembley against Hungary? where he would be the 1st 3rd division player to play for England. I think Greenwood brought him on for the last 5 minutes as a sub. I cried like a little sissy girl when he was sold to Spurs. My fave ever Palace player.

His stock was very high at the time with Hull City and The England U-21's but what worried me with him was that if he turned out to be a failure with us then the likes of my boys' generation would look down upon him and not be aware of his playing years with us like I was. Turned out I was right. For once.
