When Palace were denied Europe - Documentary

Decided to make a You Tube documentary about the time Palace missed out on Europe in 1991. I know, I can't let it go. :D

Not sure if some of the younger fans will even be aware of it, but those of us around at the time will never forget the disappointment and feelings of anger at the end of such an amazing season for our club. It just didn’t feel fair and 29 years later, it still smarts.

Done a bit of digging around in old newspaper reports and other interviews and media stuff I kept from the time, and have detailed as many of the facts surrounding the events leading to Liverpool getting their European ban overturned.

In those pre internet days, it was something that was very quickly swept under the carpet by the football world; Liverpool finished second – us third, so what were we moaning about? Liverpool were cheered back into Europe by the media, while everyone at Palace stood there fuming at the total unfairness of it all.

It was the beginning of the end of the best team in our history. (Sorry Team of the 80’s – you were the most exciting).

It’s part of our history that I feel has largely been forgotten, so thought I’d detail the events even just to get closure for myself if nothing else!
