SE25 to Turf Moor
Match day. We’ve had some fantastic games versus Burnley & some critical ones as well at both ends of the table.
No doubt, without fans, today will be a tough watch & a tight affair (my prediction 1-0, Luka)
Here’s my memories when seeing Burnley.

First game:
My first memory of a Palace v Burnley was big, 52k+ big.
May ‘79. Win, promoted as champions. Lose, stay down & Brighton are champions. It took to the 76th for us to take the lead. Swindlehurst made it 2 on 88 & soon followed, my first pitch invasion. What a night.

Burnley as an away day?
It’s grim up North! I love Burnley away, proper old school ground. If driving, there are some lovely villages just outside the town with picturesque pubs. On the train & it’s to the cricket ground for a pie & pint with mates of both clubs.

Worst game? Nov ‘16
2-0 down within 15 mins, Steeeeeve making 1 of his fleeting appearances was poor. Wickham 2-1 before a late Benteke penalty got us a point. Not Pardew, we decided to carry on the Hail Mary attacking only to concede a 94th min winner to Ashley Barnes. Fuming!

Favourite goal?
March ‘19, Sauce FC with pace in both full back positions, Max in midfield, Schlupp & Wilf wide, Batman up front. Already 2-0 up when Wilf gives the Burnley defence twisted blood before finishing low past Heaton. There are limbs in the wooden seats.

Random game: York v Burnley
Aug ‘13, I’m staying up north, check the fixtures & see York are at home in the League Cup. Having not been to Bootham Crescent I decide to go. Working with the EFL I ask them for help with a ticket. I was the only 1 in the boardroom in shorts! 0-4

Magical memories
We’ve stayed up, gone up & made the playoffs all against Burnley but 1 of my favourite memories is from a 0-0 draw.
Sept ‘14, Warnock’s first home game back in charge & Burnley have got on top. Penalty. Step-up Julian Speroni with a wonder save. This man.

Last game: Nov ‘19
The last time we played each other with fans in the ground. Dann came in for the injured Cahill & was exceptional. Wilf gave us the lead right on half time, Schlupp settles it with 10 to go in front of a delirious away end. In between, Sakho gives us kittens!

He played for both clubs:
There have been some of the great Palace goal scorers who have played for both clubs. Gareth Taylor, Dele Adebola, Ade Akinbiyi......oh & Ian Wright. Ignore those, I’m going for the ‘07 POTY, Leon Cort. A great defender who scored more than the 1st 3!

Thx for reading.
I’ve not mentioned Edwards in ‘83, the 7 goal thriller in the promotion season versus Palace next manager (ha ha) or Punch & Gayle in ‘15.
What are your memories of Burnley?
