The Legacy

Steve Coppell managed Crystal Palace to a sixth-place finish in the Second Division during 1987-1988. This Admiral third shirt was worn as the club worked toward a promotion push. Ian Wright, who had been at the club since 1985, formed a partnership with Mark Bright in the attack during the 1987-1988 season. Their goalscoring form helped the team stay competitive throughout the campaign. Midfielder Geoff Thomas also arrived from Crewe Alexandra to strengthen the engine room. These additions brought a new attacking intensity to Selhurst Park, sponsored by Top Score, setting the foundation for the club's successful return to the top flight shortly after.
