The Legacy
David Hopkin provided crucial stability in the Crystal Palace midfield throughout the 1996-1997 season. Competing in the First Division, the side leaned on his engine alongside the attacking threat posed by Bruce Dyer. Kevin Muscat added a physical edge to the backline as the club pushed for a return to the top flight. Adidas supplied the kits for this campaign, which featured the TDK sponsor on the front. Palace eventually secured a place in the play-offs, earning promotion back to the Premier League following a victory against Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium.
