Palace's Rise in the 1960s

mardi 25 janvier 2022

First time poster here, so hi everyone!

I'd be really interested to know from anyone who was there at the time what it was that changed at Palace to propel us into Division One. This after we spent the 1950s getting re-elected and losing to non league teams in the FA Cup and then found ourselves in the new Division 4 at the start of the decade. Was there an influx of new investment (A Wait?), or did we just suddenly find or develop a better group of players etc etc?

Did anyone think at the start of the 60s that there was any prospect of us ending the decade at the top? Did anyone think it at all right up until we went on the winning run at the end of 68/69 season? It must have been amazing to see it unfold, what were the excitement levels like?
