OTD: When Palace went top of English football – News – Crystal Palace F.C.
Sitting level on points with Manchester United, the only thing that separated Palace from the Red Devils was Cannon’s effort – giving the south Londoners a goal difference of +10.
One man in particular found cause for celebration and did so in the most unique of ways. Burridge – Palace’s renegade ‘keeper – told the club website last week: “We faced Ipswich in the first game of the season at Selhurst Park. Full house. They were one of the strongest teams in the league in them days. Powerhouses. We go 1-0 up in the first-half. Great. Second-half, we scored just after half-time: 2-0 up. We get another. Game over, right?
“So, down at the Whitehorse Lane, I thought: ‘Bo***cks to it.’ I climbed up onto the joint of the crossbar. I was sat there saying to the crowd: ‘Great game from up here, lads!’ They were wetting themselves.”
At the end of the season, Palace finished 13th.
