West Ham United v Crystal Palace : Palace Promoted With Play-off Victory

A single Neil Shipperley goal saw the Eagles win 'the most expensive game' in world football and gain promotion to the Premier League after defeating West Ham at the Millennium Stadium.

Fair play to Iain Dowie what an incredible job he did that season from 4th bottom to beating the bookies favourites for promotion that season in the play off final incredible.

Leigertwood won the ball. Watch the BALL on the replay. It moves! It changes direction. Good tackle.

It's Andrew Johnson, more than capable of scoring, and he very nearly did, AND NEIL SHIPPERLEY HAS!!!!

Shipperly was just lurking in the shadows ....following, tailing from alongside the unsuspecting victim....and suddenly let out a vicious stroke for all to see. We were all witnesses to this moment of genius, including mothers and their 16 year-old daughters.

It was worth the traffic jam on the M4 going home all the happy faces on the Palace fans.
