This game seems to have been removed from the history books , i was at one of the games in the 90s but cant remember what season and can find no record of it in palaces friendlies

1st feb 1991 slough won 2-1 newman, moralee

4th aug 1981 slough score ??

[stupalace]

small write up about the game in qpr programme from that season . suckling , southgate, rodger, witter, hedman, newman, osborne, collymore, moralee, whyte and gordon

 

some good players on show Gareth Southagte , Perry Suckling , Simon Rodge , Stan Collymore , Dean Gordon .

just found out that slough played arsenal and spurs the same season they played palace 90/91 , sloughs centenary ?

at the time those 3 club were among the elite in england . what are the chances of slough playing just one of them now ?

the attendances were shocking as well , 334 against spurs . spurs fielded nayim , van de heuwe and steve sedgely

Got the cuttings for the game in the 80's, no mention of the full palace team in the 80s but Bason , Smiley , Boyle , Gilbert , Hughes , Carter all played on the same page as the match report is an article about a certain Eric Young having to be sold by Slough to ease financial troubles , it was reported that Spurs , West Brom and Bournemouth had all made enquiries for him . Slough lost 19k in the last year and was looking for 10k for the ninja .

Palace signed Young in 1990 the same year the two clubs played each other again

 

the slough team was parsons,friend,russell,maskell,butler,hardwick,james,o sullivan,shields,white and akers

The Arsenal game was on the same weekend as the FA Cup Semi Final - the one where Gazza scored that free-kick.

 

It was therefore an Arsenal reserves team that was sent. I know Gus Caeser certainly played for them that day. I can't remember if he was involved or not but Ray Parlour was a name on the programme.

i will try to post the match reports from the observer for all 3 games tonight , this forum has a limit on file size so may have to put the elsewhere and then a link .

 

Andy Cole was in the Arsenal side as well as Gus

Was there for the spurs game, Spurs i belive won 2-1, i think we played Chelsea that season too in a team that fielded Graeame Le Saux and the rebs won 3-2

Stupalace you need to track down Alan Smith on match days - he will be able to answer all your questions. Ask one of the matchday stewards who he is.
