Palace v Burnley (I love the 70s)

The Greatest Palace v Burnley match…Ever!


Jim Cannon leads out Palace for their match against Burnley, 11 May 1979.

Crystal Palace 2 Burnley 0
Walsh
Swindlehurst

11 May 1979

attendance: 51,482


Palace finished the season as strongly as they started it. And nothing could have been more exhilarating than the spectacle of Palace winning the Second Division championship and clinching promotion all on the same night. A night that Sunderland were denied their promotion place at the same time. A record crowd of 51,482 packed into Selhurst Park and there was hardly a dry eye left by the end of the match.

On the Friday before the Cup Final between Arsenal and Manchester United, the talk was of a 40,000 crowd. The statistics don’t tell the whole story. That there were 51,482 inside is well documented -–the figure was well above capacity – but that takes no account of the thousands locked outside an hour before. Mid-table Burnley, prompted by the wise, but bald, head of Peter Noble, were plucky but overwhelmed, although you couldn’t tell that to the tightly packed fans who lived on their nerves until Walsh’s bullet header from Hilaire’s cross beat Alan Stevenson. Swindlehurst finished the scoring and Brighton were denied the Championship by a far better team. It was agony for the Rokerites who had travelled down to support Burnley. Their manager watched from the stand as the Selhurst pitch disappeared under the celebrating multitude.

Palace: Burridge, Hinshelwood, Sansom, Kember, Cannon, Gilbert, Nicholas, Murphy, Swindlehurst, Walsh, Hilaire, sub: Fenwick.

Burnley: Stevenson, Scott, Brennan, Noble, Thomson, Robinson, Jakub, Ingham, Morley, Kindon, James.

Well done Selhurst. This brought back some great memories for me. This was one of the first games that really stick in my mind. I can still remember climbimg over the very small fence at the front of the Arthur Wait and running like hell towards the old tunnel at the end of the game after my Dad had told me not to go on the pitch.
It would have been great if the club could have arranged a reunion of this side for Saturday's game.

What a night !

Truth is I was 12 at the time and we were so tightly packed into the Holmesdale that I hardly saw any of the game. My main memory is of the first goal going in, the Holmesdale going balistic and then not seeing my mates for the rest of the evening. Not that it mattered as the people around me where more than happy to share their Champagne with me.

We got the 5.45 train from Forest Hill and by the time we got to the ground at about 6.10 there where MASSIVE queues. We got in about 6.50 and it was un-real to see that many people. As for the attendance I would put it nearer the 60,000 mark given the amount of people being allowed to jump over the turnstiles and whilst it seems dangerous now at the time I only felt elation at being surrounded by so many Palace fans.

In fact I seem to remember that more People saw Palace win the 2nd divison title that year than watched Liverpool win the 1st divison title.

Truly happy days. And to think that Venables was a God that night.


PS Thanks Paul.

Happy days indeed. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could win the championship this season, by beating Wolves on 28 April 2001.

OK, I'm dreaming!

A great post for a great game. Although it was a tension filled night I don't think Burnley actually had a shot on target all night.Thanks to everyone who posted the happy snaps.

Fantastic ... It bought tears to eyes just reading/looking at the posts and remembering how I felt that night !!

Does anyone remember the Last game of the season some 4/5 years later?
Burnley at Home on a Tuesday night, we won thanks to an Ian Edwards goal to STAY UP in the old 2nd.
I think our average gate that season was circa 8000 but we had nearly 23000 that night.
And of course the epic Cup encounter with Burnley around the same time (2/3 replays I seem to recall)

What a superb thread - thanks Selhurst! God, I'm so gutted I wasn't at that match - I was "too young"! I still have, somewhere in my mum's loft, the Daily Mirror from the Saturday morning. The headline was something like Palace triumph at Sell-Out Park, and the last line of the report, verbatim, says "There appears to be no limit to what this fine team can achieve." Should I ever find it I'll post the whole report here.

And yes Scoot, I remember the next one against them to stay up - I was old enough by then! Very tense, but Ian Edwards was a bit of a hero that day! Also by then 23,000 was a massive crowd - we were down to well under 10,000 by then.

Great match, great thread! It's hard to imagine nowadays Palace having thousands of people locked-out before the kick-off.

Yes - I do. This question keeps coming up, and the answer remains the same! I uploaded mpg clips of the two goals about 6 months ago. Do you want me to find them again?

If there is sufficient interest, I will prepare a video cd of the Palace v Notts. County; Orient v Palace and Palace v Burnley games .... but I will need some time, and plenty of drinks as a thank-you!

Plenty of drinks will be no problem, James.
Please provide us with a bit of nostalgia.
