Dean Blackwell. Joined at the sign time as Simon Rodger. Both quality players but Blackwell was plagued by knee injuries.

Blackwell came from Wimbledon. I don't think he ever played for Palace.

I stand corrected Sir.

Oh go on, i've bitten.

I thought just had one trail with us. Came down and had no money to get back he was so broke. Then one of the defenders (think it may have been Fozzy) paid his train fare back home.

He played in a couple of reserve matches in 1983, scoring in a 1-1 draw at Swindon Town - Ian Wright

Why?

You should have booed the directors sitting in the stand who threw him under the bus when Wilfred Shaffer blew the Albion out at Heathrow Airport.

It’s a fair point you make, and there were obviously other reasons why he wasn’t appointed until the eve of that new season too.

I just feel that he was hugely out of his depth with no ideas, and simply just not very good at his job.
It honestly irked me to call for his head in what turned out to be his final game (I’d been patient!), but in my lifetime, I’ve had faith in all of the managers we’ve had and never called for any of them to be sacked before or since his tenure.
Being more mature/experienced/laid back now, I doubt I’d do it if it were today, because there are more important things in life than boo’ing football employees.

You can tell when the players are not playing for the manager any longer though, and that’s when something’s wrong and needs changing.

I’m yet to ever boo a player though. Not even Leon Best or Ashley Neal!

Ian Chapman famously turned down an offer from Palace after the Albion had released him, because he would have to look at himself in the shaving mirror every morning.

Top man, very sad he never got his testimonial, when others did.

My all time favourite player. Deserved much better.

You didn’t make an exception for Akpom? He was worse than that Icelandic International we had at Gillingham which is hard to believe.

Peter Taylor, who gave us a pre match waffle before the first REMF game.

I can't remember what he said, but 4-4 was as entertaining as it gets so it can't have been too bad. especially given were were old farts by comparison th the Palace lads . . .and I was YOOF @ 31!

Just out of interest, does anyone have a copy of the team sheet from the first REMF game?

I don't know if there was an actual teamsheet, but this is from the programme (care of [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION]'s excellent Seagulls Programmes website):-
