Find out the cluster of defining Palace figures born on this day

If you're a defining figure of Crystal Palace's 20th century, there's a good chance you're celebrating a birthday on January 6th.

While most grumble their way through the month with little to look forward to - even less, perhaps, given the current situation - six memorable names from Palace history kick-start the year with a birthday, making January 6th one of the most congested days for producing club figures.

Birthdays include Terry Venables, who shaped the club in the 1970s, Dave Swindlehurst, one of our all-time top goalscorers, and Attilio Lombardo, widely regarded as one of the most talented players to have worn the Palace crest.
