The Legacy
Dave Bassett replaced Alan Smith as Crystal Palace manager in 1995-1996, aiming to push the club back toward the top flight. The side competed in the First Division with Andy Roberts and Darren Pitcher featuring across the midfield. Dougie Freedman provided a regular attacking threat throughout the league campaign. David Hopkin added stability in the middle of the pitch as the club looked to secure a return to the Premier League. Palace ultimately finished third but missed out on promotion following a defeat in the play-off final at Wembley against Leicester City.
Key Moment
Crystal Palace finished third in the First Division in 1995-96 and reached the play-off final, losing 2-1 to Leicester City to a last-minute extra-time goal from Steve Claridge.
