    Back in the days when the FA Cup was still special. This match was played on the same day as the palace/Liverpool 4-3 semi. Magical.

      I was at the Palace semi ... great game ... The train home was as eventful when it look like we were to play Oldham .. especially the radio commentary thought Oldham had scored a 4th

    I too was at this game, glorious sunny day and as we arrived on the terraces, news got through that the Scousers had lost 4-3. United fans knew that Palace would be an easier proposition in a final than Liverpool who had recently won at Old Trafford. Barnstorming game, all for £7 on the Kippax too 😀

    I was at this match with my Dad and brothers I remeber it well its was fantatstic. My dad taught Jon Halworth and I played with him in the same youth team (Bramhall), at the time he was alternating weekly with another goalkeeper for Ipswich Youth.
    It was a fantastic weekend of sport. On the Saturday Mr Frisk won the Grand National in a record time (which still stands), Palace beat Liverpool in the other semi, which we listened to on the radio on the way to the match. To top it all, later on that evening, Nick Faldo won the Masters at Augusta.
    What a weekend of sport.

      He pulled off the greatest save I've ever seen in the replay, I think it was nick Henry, I Could be wrong, a volley from a cleared corner which Leighton got fingers to, underside of crossbar and out, Oldham on top at that stage of game as well.. Oldham fans will say it crossed the line, it didn't I was almost level with the goalline, still remember it 31 years on...
