Steve Kember and Mark Butcher's surprising connection

While you wait for the Palace Podcast to be uploaded, get into the matchday mindset with an insight into what the Everton programme will feature.

As you are no doubt aware, Saturday's game will see several former players from Palace's '69, '79 and '89 promotion-winning squads return to Selhurst Park, as we pay tribute to the 50th, 40th & 30th anniversaries, respectively.

As a fitting tribute, our cover star and main feature interview is with our former manager, and key player from the '69 and '79 squads, Steve Kember.

But the links to the Palace legend don't end there, with former England cricketer, Mark Butcher, revealing that he and Kember have a surprising family connection, as well as the fact Kember used to teach Butcher.
