I always wondered if Kerry scored all the pens he actually missed,if he would have ,at the time broken the scoring record ?

going back to the Pompey game I recall we missed a load of pens before that game ,of course during that game and in the games that followed...we went on a horrible run of misses and tried a few different takers ,who all missed !!

A crowd of 55.003 saw this 27th Dec 1976 game v Fulham !

Our scorers: Kenny Swain and Micky Droy !

Ah, Shoot magazine.

A 'must read' for me every week back then, especially the Ray Wilkins column.

 Saturday, 28th December 1985.    We beat Spuds 2-0 at The Bridge,

Our scorers: 'King Kerry' Dixon 19th min and Nigel, Spackman 62nd min with  a pen.

A crowd of  37,115 saw it.

No tv footage, as there was a domestic tv football ban at this stage of 1985/86 ! 

Mon 28th Dec 1936 at 2:30pm,   We beat Stoke City 1-0 at The Bridge. in front of a crowd of 16,675.

The great Sir Stanley Matthew  was playing for Stoke against us that day.

I just like the above programme cover for that match.

Thanks again to bounder friardale and stamford bridge.

Two 1-0 wins with Barry Bridges our goal scorer in both these games !

Some away classics in the league against Arsenal.

 

 

 

 

I don't think I've ever seen the Bridge from that angle. Great photo BH.

When did Palace change their club colours from Claret and Blue, to Red and Blue I wonder?  

Must have been around ‘74 at a guess, maybe a bit earlier.   I like their old pinstripe/yellow collar kit as well as the one with the wide vertical claret and blue stripes down the middle.
