I can only echo what others have said. He was certainly a key player in that 68/69 promotion season. I have very happy memories of those times too.
Very sad news indeed

Condolences to his friends & family.

Cliff was part of Bert Head's young side at Swindon

When Bert Head became manager he brought Bobby Woodruff and Cliff Jackson who played for him at Swindon to the club

After a couple of seasons playing as the archetypal blue-arsed fly winger Bert Head converted him to a central striker role in 1968-69 season. Scored twice in a 4-0 win at Cardiff in the first game and went on to be leading scorer in the promotion season. Scored five times in our first season in Division One

RIP Cliff, you will never be forgotten

RIP Cliff. Sad news.

I remember your goals and 'gladiator salute' celebration well. And the decisive goal in that promotion game v Fulham. Happy memories.

Condolences and good wishes to family and friends.

I remember seeing Cliff regularly as a winger and that was until Bert Head decided to try him in a central role as a striker, and he was great at knocking them in. He found a new raison d'etre as a result.

Off to the great subs' bench in the sky, with John McCormick and Colin Taylor from the 68/69 promotion year.

My best memory is Bert Head sticking him up front against Jack Charlton v Leeds in the league cup. He ran rings around Jack and I think scored as well. Remember Cliff was a slight 5 foot 9 inches, so we had to play the ball on the ground the whole game.

Thanks for the memories Cliff.

RIP - great player. That photo brought back some memories too as it was on my wall as a young'un. At the time he joined my family moved up to Leicestershire but I was completely hooked by then and had to weather the storm as the only Palace fan at school etc. and TBH the only Palace fans I met were family or at the ground. Not sure that changed an awful lot over the years and I probably met more palace fans while living in NYC than I did up in Leicester and then later, near Sheffield and then Leeds.

Yes, exactly as I remember it. He was a very subtle and classy player, and a very important part of the team that won promotion in 1968/69. RIP.

Not just one of the team that got us to the First Division for the very first time he was the top scorer that season. One of Bert Heads youngsters having him at Swindon before joining us. Played the first season in the top flight but be it through injuries catching up it was a step to far but that should not ever lessen the contribution he made to our history. The gladiator salute when he scored I guess I was not the only one to copy it on the school playing field. Condolences to a his family and friends.
Like me you have happy memories of Cliff, who was underated in my opinion.
Condolances to all his extended family.

My first Palace hero, I was always first to be him when we played footie up the park.

Very sad news , RIP Cliff.

One of his finest contributions, expertly winning the pen at Old Trafford that ultimately got us a famous draw. He caught my eye when I saw this, the cheek of waltzing into Best , Law & Charltonville with that kind of confidence. Was surprised to note how he slipped away a bit in the game not long afterwards albeit at that age. RIP sir. (at @1:53)

As a 15 year old, Cardiff away and the 4-0 victory was my first away game as my Dad said he would treat me to a few away games as I didn't go on the family holiday that year. Met his daughter about 15 years ago and she said Cliff was enjoying life in SpaIn during his retirement. Cliff was the business up front that season.A sad time for the family, RIP.

I remember a tough match against Boro, nil nil I think, on the good Friday and him scoring in the 3-1 win over Pompey the next day. It’s the only time I can ever recall us playing two days on the trot, Steve Kember got one of the others.

Cliff Jackson

Always be grateful to him for throwing his shirt in my direction after the Fulham game which fortunately I was able to catch. Years later I got a chance to thank him personally for the shirt and got him to sign it.

Still got the shirt -priceless

RIP Cliff

That's fantastic! You are a lucky man.

As like many posting on this thread, he scored on my first Palace game also (2-2 with Portsmouth around Christmas 1967 or 68).

Sad news . His golden period was that promotion season when Bert converted him to a central attacker. His goals were the lynch pin of that push.

I have to speak to my mate in the UK who had a dislike of Cliff as a kid.This was due to the days when you could invade the pitch at the final whistle.Turns out the ref blows for a free kick close to time . Everyone runs on , my mate up to Cliff who tells him to "Get off the bloody pitch ,the games not over" Not sure if he carried the grudge into man hood and old age.

Anyway RIP Cliff. You helped make the dream come true for a spotty teenager.

Ian Ure mis-headed the ball to Cliff as Palace cleared another Man U attack(one of John Jackson's finest hours) and off he went. Alex Stepney brought him down in penalty area (long before red cards) and John Sewell's penalty kick was parried by Stepney back to John who scrambled it home. Please tell me if my memory is wrong here!

As others have said, Cliff was a classy player not your usual n° 9 at the time. 68/69 promotion season he was a stand out player; RIP Cliff you'll never be forgotten.
