All the memories are flooding back to that great season. I only missed about four games all season, including the pointless anglo italian games, and Bolton away.
At the start of the saeson,we had to play poxy four times in about as many weeks. Also it saw to of the coldest days know to football, at Sunderland and Bolton.

Also the snowy night in the rearranged game with Peterboro. For me Deanos block buster against Derby beat everything. Stoppage time, big punt out from Nige, chested into Deanos path by Fatbloke and KABOOM! My all time favourite Palace goal.

I remember the 5-1 game against Portsmouth as if it was yesterday (despite the fact it was played in the first half of my life). Other memories are watching Middlesborough on T.V., going to my first away game ever up at Luton and the best pre-match atmosphere I've ever been in on the final game of the season. |

This thread had brought back loads of good memories.The particular games that stick in my mind were 5-1 Popmey home,Boro away,on the day we won the title and a televised away game at Tranmere that we won and so meant we were top for Christmas.Do not think we surrendered top position for the rest of the season.The football we played (more so earlier in the season) was among some of the best I have seen as a Palace fan.

The game at Southend was fantastic; it was the combination of the huge away support, the increasingly rare opportunity to stand on a packed terrace, the extra atmosphere of a floodlit game and of course an away win that virtually guaranteed promotion.
The home game was a good memory too. At the time (Xmas/New Year) Southend were genuine promotion candidates (they'd faded badly by the rematch) and brought a large and noisy/mouthy away support. Palace scored the only goal of the game with about the last kick of the game. Simon Rodger scored from about 2 yards and even then nearly managed to miss, crashing it into the roof of the net; if he'd been any further out it would have cleared executive boxes at the Whitehorse Lane end. It must have been a depressing drive back to Essex in their furry-dice bedecked Ford Capris that evening. |

Random question, but before Smith's appointment in the summer of 1993' can anyone else remind me who else was in the frame/potentially touted for the managers position?

Smith didnt inspire many of us - Seemed a dull appointment at the time - He also gaffed pre-season when he mentioned hoping to get in the top 6. That didnt go down well. The turning point was at the open day at Selhurst - He held a training session on the pitch and I think many were impressed. Smith had the midas touch that year - And although some like to re-write history he was responsible for our promotion. He was simply fantastic - A year later he lost the plot and in 2001 he was a joke but the Alan Smith of 93/94 was gem IMO. What a great season - And yes Chris Armstrong had looked a world beater so comparisons with Wright were fair enough at the time.

My memories...
Southgate's great goal against Pompey...Salako hat trick against Stoke, looking like world beaters at Notts co and still losing (or was it a draw?)...Coleman's 'meatball header' at the Hawthorns (I think Southgate scored a good one in that game too)...taking over Southend...Peterboro away (midweek game but incredible noise - a bit like the scenes I saw this year but without the win)...Paul Williams's diving header against Barnsley...another good goal from Southgate in a win at Watford...a beautiful packed out Holmesdale terrace in the last game...and best of all, (I think the last ever game at Ayresome Park) where we secured the title and an ecstatic team and manager came back out of the tunnel ages after the game when we refused to leave!

Armstrong really looked the real deal that season, fantastic pace, strength and half decent in the air too.
