CPFC Vs. Man Utd 1972
I know there are probably many threads on this already and I know I was 10 years off being born, but saw this game on the Centenary DVD and a few times on YouTube more recently, and I must say it gots me emotional, not only the fact that it was stuffing Man Utd but the quality of football and indeed finishing on a horrid pitch, in horrible weather in the 70's was fantastic.

Me dad always told me in a legendary way how good Don Rodgers was, but the way he looked in this game like he could beat anyone, in the way Best did. In the light of recent criticisms about younger fans on this site, as much as I believe that we should always look forward its still very important that the younger fans learn about what has gone before!

Big Match on the Sunday, good ole Brian Moore commentating.

Right about the pitch - makes Don Rogers's performance even more amazing

We all remember Don Rogers for that golden period of form. It started in his very first match for us against Everton (in which he scored a similar goal) at the beginning of November, and lasted until the match against Stoke (which also featured on TV) in mid Febuary. In other words a period of only a little over 3 months. During that relatively short time he hit form, the likes of which we've probably never seen before or since.

However, after that 3 months, very sadly he never hit that sort of form again, except very occasionally. That (rather longer) part of his career with Palace, tends to be forgotten, but quite understandably so.

That is a very good summary IH .People forget how bad he was when he lost form.At the end I think we did well to trade him for Evans and Venables. He should have gone to the then first division earlier than he did .His problem was something that would not happen today, he suffered from loyalty.

The problem was more injury as well, the hip, he was in that period though from November to February by far the greatest player ever to wear the Palace shirt it was a sensational watching him we were a team of very little skill though very hard working for the three seasons before that...and Don came along and we saw a player of immense skill and pace the Man Utd game is one that has long lived in Palace folklore and for the younger generation to be able to see it is great ...I had often told my son of that day...and for him to now see what I was on about is great....as I have got older and more cynical to watch some of the great moments from my younger days takes me back to a time when I believed that Palace would one day dominate Europe, far more realistic now but Don, Big Mal and a young Peter Taylor and the youth team live happily in my memory.......

Earlier today I went and saw a Palace supporter I have known for nearly 40 years he is older than me and unfortunatly his health has suffered and he is in a home his mind sometimes is not always with it but talk to him about that period in the 70's and his eyes light up as we talk of matches and players from that era from the high of Utd game to trips to Southend on a cold Friday night (Taylor was outstanding that night) the memories flood back to him , and me as I get older I realise that there will be a time when I will have mere memories of Palace in another era and whilst some of the Coppell era with the Semi Final win Wembley and maybe the Play Off finals at Wembley and Cardiff will be there I guess like him the days which will surface most through the haze of senility will be cold winter days watching Palace in the 70's its and era of our history though not the most successful of sides was one which I believe holds so much for those that lived through it and its why Don will always be the greatest of the heros in my eyes and the Utd game the greatest ever.

I agree to a certain degree about our '70's golden age but Coppell's period was a bit special.

Know what you mean .As I have been living here for 21 years you can appreciate my viewing of Palace is limited ( live)although i did get back for the Cup Final. Memories of the early 80s forget it. So the bright spots are of an era when many people on here were not born. In years to come they will be regarded as the old fart brigade when they will talk of Aj & co.It called old age. Incidentally I was at that Southend game and sat in the stand.

I would like to associate my self with this post. I concur wholeheartedly.

Was that Southend game you talk of the one where Evans and Venables made their debut for Palace? If so I to was there…. Driven by a West ham fan who was getting sucked into the Palace mystic that was going on at that time.
