I thought the thread title probably needed to be broader than 'Team of The Eighties' to generate any interest at all, but I saw this BT Sports effort this morning and enjoyed so much that I wanted to share it with the legion of Crystal palace supporters on CW. Such good viewing for people following the side in the 1970s, supported by a brilliant soundtrack of Bowie, T Rex, The Jam and Talking Heads. Croydon artists to a man, presumably. So many 'if only's. If only they had a bit more experience in the side to help them through when they lost a couple of games. If only Peter Ward had gone to Palace instead heading down the M23 to Brighton (er, Mike Flanagan, anyone?) But lots of great footage and lots of enjoyable interviews. Hilaire and Walsh especially good value. Cannon still slightly deluded. Sansom, bless him, just looks a mess, which is sad to see. I had to explain to my mate why Allison is so highly rated by some folks (not me) after taking Palace from the First to the Third Division, and patently not having a clue how to get us out of there, despite the 1976 FA Cup run.
