I've had a request from a guy working in the South African film industry who's doing a documentary on one of their top teams, Mamelodi Sundowns.
He's asked about a friendly that the Sundowns are supposed to have played against Palace when the Sundowns owner paid for all the team and their girlfriends to come to London to watch the F.A. Cup Final in either 1986 or 1987.
There is nothing showing in newspaper archives of the time and nothing recorded in Ian King's list of official friendlies in either year; but their was a UN block on sporting links with South Africa at the time so it would probably not have been an official game.
Dos anyone have any knowledge or recollection of this game? The guy is particularly interested in who played for the Sundowns.
Any info or recollections would be helpful
Thanks
