All this week, as we look forward to welcoming our heroes from 68/69, 78/79 and 88/89 back to Selhurst Park for the Everton game this Saturday, Crystal Palace will be looking back at the anniversaries of those three glorious promotion campaigns for the Eagles.
Next up in the 1978/79 nostalgia trip is none other than the 1979 fans’ Player of the Year, Vince Hilaire!
