ORIENT V CRYSTAL PALACE 5TH MAY 1979 - Second Half

The second half of the Season's penultimate game at Brisbane Road - a 1-0 win for Crystal Palace which put the Eagles (managed by a young Terry Venables) on the way to promotion and the Division 2 Championship. Highlights from ITV's Big Match.

Happy days. Thousands of us took over their ground and what an atmosphere, and it got even better the following Friday night! Palace til I die

I loved those old Admiral strips.The Palace away looks very similar to the Tottenham away that year looking at the video.
