For the second time in history, Crystal Palace fans found themselves at Wembley for the FA Cup final - where they would face Manchester United in a well-fought, close battle.
And while the result that afternoon may still hurt to this day, the run-up to that afternoon was one of the finest events in the club's history.
It started off with a trip to the south coast for a 2-1 victory over Southampton. Having dispatched the Saints, Palace were dealt a cruel draw to face Stoke City and then Tottenham Hotspur - three consecutive top flight sides.
