I thought this was well known anyway ?
Although I would say not a real follower, neither Don Rogers or big mail were at palace in the time stated.
“My earliest memories of football are being taken, I suppose 1969 or 1970, to watch Crystal Palace play.
“Malcolm Allison, with the big fedoras, who’d come from Man City, was the manager. Don Rogers, the star player for Swindon, had come to Palace as centre forward, and my grandfather and grandmother used to go and watch Palace.”
Not wishing to defend old Nige in any way but he's talking about memories from when he was about 5 or 6 years old, its quite easy to mis-remember things from that long ago when you were so young. My memories of Peter Wards goal against Utd in 1982 (my first ever match) were a lot different to the reality of what the goal was when I eventually watched it back on You Tube many years later.
