I was 11 when I watched this with my Dad and will never forget that match. I'm now the Dad and about to watch it with my 11 year old son, amazing. Thanks for showing Palace.
Crystalpal1978 Funny enough, I was 14 at the time, and was there with my Dad and friends ... can even see us a few times in the front row! And I’m now the Dad ... but have a 14yr old girl ... and she’s not into football (yet!) .... amazing how time has flown, next generation ... and wonderful memories! 👍
I was at this game with my mates from Bromley we were in the holt end, just made kick off as the traffic was bad. I was 19 then, great day out, thanks for uploading this, just watched it for the first time in 30 years, brought tears to my eyes. Palace til I die x
Really really miss 1990 this game was pure gold vintage stuff how I wish those days would return people were happy music was great miss being 19 again (:
What a game. Just missed getting tickets but listened on the radio. Liverpool expected a walkover but the Palace did the biz. Now about to watch it with my son and grandson. - me in Portugal and them in Sheffield. Long way from Holmesdale Road! EA - GLES. !
It was the best FA Cup semi-final ever and one of my favourite commentarys ever! RIP to both John Motson who died earlier this year and Terry Venebles who died yesterday I believe
One of the greatest games I went to, got to steward a coach, so free ticket and travel. Atmosphere was incredible, hungover for days after this. Also stewarded the ticket queue for the final, another multi day hangover after that...
We drove up to watch it on my son's 18th Birthday. Does it get any better? Like many, remembering the 9-0, we were wary of yet another hammering. Then in an attempt to allay our fears, my wife made a seeming strange observation: "Well, the ball is round ..." (???). Most thrilling moment: Pembo's phenominal sprint right in front of us and the resulting goal.
I was studying at college in Worthing and not a member at the time so couldn't get a ticket, watched the game nervously (after the battering I got on the south coast after the 9-0 away) on a tiny portable TV (remember those) with a hangover after a student night out at the local - brilliant day, ended up down the pub again for about 3 days in my Palace shirt loving it :-)
I was 8 at the time...great memories. However heartbreak twice that year with the final and then the semi-final defeat with England in the WC. Great to see this coverage and see Wrighty so animated on the touchline and on the pitch before extra-time willing the lads on knowing he had a chance of recovery for the final. Legendary stuff!
How noisy was Euston that morning?! Then all those balloons .... nervous about not getting battered 9:0 .... how cold was it out the sun in that main stand?! Then being relieved at half time to only be 1:0 down .... losing my half-time sandwich following Pembo’s crazy run! The highs and lows ... and high! Then quiet train home in disbelief... until seeing the CPFC coaches at Watford Gap! Then Passing Wembley ... and the noise back at Euston!! What a day ..... ❤️💙
i was there as a 16 year old, and tbh, was the greatest and best day ive ever witnessed as a Palace fan, what makes it even better was that i was also there at Anfield a few months earlier when we lost by 9 goals. what a day
I remember driving up to Villa park with Red and Blue Balloons attached to the back of my car 😂 But what a game and what a day this was. Watching this again it certainly stirs up your emotions.
This is a game that I will never forget. We were outnumbered in support because of the ticket distribution from our own club, but one thing we did was be heard throughout Villa Park on the day. Was living in the West Midlands area at the time, was amazed how many other Palace fans lived in and around the West Midlands, meeting up with lads from Stoke, Birmingham down to Coventry, massive parties in the bars until the late hours. We were the underdogs, their support thought it was a formality just turning up. Supporting Palace for 49 years, the old saying, "You can change your wife or girlfriend, but you definitely cannot change the club you love" COYP🔴🔵🔴🔵
What a tremendous game this was,really soccer has gone backwards,the enjoyment,the natural instincts have vanished,all we get are players constantly diving and not putting their heart and soul into the game,I used to love soccer but now just have a passing interest . Also the atmosphere at matches back then was vociferous and electric,now it’s like playing in a cemetery.14>1 Amen.
This was the 1st game i ever watched and thought liverpool were slipping. They won the league that year but were creaking at the back dalglish quit less than a year later he knew they needed major surgery and didn't wanna hang around for the slide to come. Left it to others to sort and it took them nearly 30 years to do so.
Yes I think Hillsborough something to do with it I think the pressure was just too great . Had Hillsborough not happened Liverpool would’ve stayed at the top for many more years
A beautiful day. What did Motson say "Palace hadn't sold their allocation " . I went to this game I was in the Palace end with the palace supporters. If you look at the first goal their are 50 or so Liverpool supporters celebrating the goal in the palace end behind that goal. During the game we got moved up the other end ; I was thinking we would be allowed to stand with the other LFC supporters... in fact our names taken then shown out the ground . You can see at various points the police escorting fans along the sides past the benches ; after the 1st goal you can see that. I ran back round from the far end where I got shown the door back to the Palace end. I said to the gate I was late... he said I can see your liverpool shirt under you top. I said ok... I promise to be discreet. So he let me back in. Watched the whole game with the Palace supporters 🤣😱😭😭. What a game. Of course Palace celebrated wildly the end me and a mate were clapping politely haha they must have realised we were Liverpool fans. A lesson learnt ... only go to a game and be in your end. But if the fa (yet again) allocation had been a bit more (palace didnt sell 2000 tickets) then issue resolved. A few years later I met Steve Coppell in covent garden ... he didnt have work at that time. Gardening leave.. I asked him what he had planned ... nothing he said. On the way home on the train ... Coppell new manager of .... haha why didn't he tell me. Ok... in advance waiting for the abuse thanks ynwa well played Palace amazing game you deserved to win the cup. Great honest hard working strong team well organised. Thanks for sharing the game first time I have seen it on tv.
John Motson's analysis of the Staunton penalty beggars belief. Even after repeated replays he still can't see that the Palace defender clips the Liverpool player's leg, tripping him. Motson thought Staunton "took a little while to go down". Unbelievable. All irrelevant of course and Palace deservedly won, but a lot of Motson's commentary over the years had me scratching my head.
So much that would have resulted in cards in today's game. Can't complain, though, especially after seeing that challenge again by Andy Thorn on Staunton. Deary me!
I was 11 when I watched this with my Dad and will never forget that match. I'm now the Dad and about to watch it with my 11 year old son, amazing.

Wow . I'm SUBSCRIBING to you for that

I remember my dad jumping so high when we scored the winner he hit his head on the light. Stupid things you remember but one of those moment's
What a game. Just missed getting tickets but listened on the radio. Liverpool expected a walkover but the Palace did the biz.

Two of the best semifinals I’ve ever seen that Sunday I’m a Liverpool fan but Fairplay to Palace and they had a lot of injuries as well
Simply the greatest match I have ever been to and unlikely to be beaten.

This is the best fa cup match I've ever seen. It was just so good to see it live at the time.

One of the most exciting matches I have ever seen.
great, stress free times. Where did football go...
I was there that day...one of the best days of my life
it would be a cool idea if u made a compilation of the best crystal palace goals
wow amazing to see all of your stories of watching this amazing game!
This is a game that I will never forget.

awesome stuff. this gave me my love for the eagles after this game !!!
Great match one of the best I've ever seen. When football was about the sport and before stupid sums of money and sky got involved!!!!
What a tremendous game this was,really soccer has gone backwards,the enjoyment,the natural instincts have vanished,all we get are players constantly diving and not putting their heart and soul into the game,I used to love soccer but now just have a passing interest . Also the atmosphere at matches back then was vociferous and electric,now it’s like playing in a cemetery.14>1 Amen.
"The good news for those at home that don't like football - there's another match coming up in a minute!!!" Classic, got to love Venebles
Usiaku saat itu 11 tahun .. kalo ga salah pertandingan ini pas bulan puasa kala itu..pulang taraweh lgsg nonton

Palace Masterpiece.
Still the best game i’ve ever been to
One of my favourite matches. I was so glad you beat them cos it shut up all the glory hunting Liverpool 'fans' round our way.
Yeah, ridiculous! Looks like the Middlesbrough crest in your photo so clear glory hunting. I loved it when Villa battered them 7-2 last week
I’m a Liverpool fan and I really like Steve Coppell decent man Palace deserved it on the day
Wem ber ley. Wen ber ley. We re the famous Crystal Palace and we going to Wembley
super al.

Why my chrome doest complete *fa* to facebook?
My God, how good was Hansen?
What a day! Spent most of it giving the scousers shit in the Holt end !
#ptid 🦅❤️💙
What I wouldn't give to watch another semi final in the sunshine of villa park. I hate modern football
I really wanted to slap George Courtney for some of his decisions
So much that would have resulted in cards in today's game. Can't complain, though, especially after seeing that challenge again by Andy Thorn on Staunton. Deary me!
We beat the Scousers woo hoo at '90
