I used to love it then especially when we tumbled down to the front during the corners,  health and safety heh!

When the surge went it was ace. Every man for himself. The noise incredible. What an atmosphere. We can still create it though. Recently Chelsea away was brill and my 18 year old lad still talks of his away day at Palace. I think the surge is now a thing of the past with seating. Mind you, we could always do non-league again... 'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.'

Vodka Drinker Posts: 5,965 Posts Per Day: 1.13 Reputation: 62.03% Rep Score: +30 / -21 Location: York Approval: +6,859 Gold Stars: 42	Brian Kidd scored for Everton.  He had won (and scored)  the European Cup with United.  There must be a a number of other players who have played at BP who have won the CL or European Cup. Garry Birtles is an obvious one.  Ruud Gullit I think. Teddy Sherringham, Dwight Yorke?, Andy Cole. Must be other Forest or Villa players. Kevin Keegan and Ray Clemence? Frank Lampard? Sterling is a difficult one as he played at BP forr England under 16s (Think it was the U16s). Can people think of others? (There have also been some outstanding players at BP who did not win the CL/European Cup).
