JOe rOyLe "I was so proud and pleased with our performances in those games because it just took the sting away from everyone who had said that we could only play on plastic. “I was very aware of that and probably a little too subconscious of it, but our performances on grass against one of the best teams in the whole country saw us go toe-to-toe with them and we were never embarrassed at any level. I was proud."

MIke MILLIGAN "It was the first time they'd ever televised two back- to-back FA Cup games on the BBC, so Crystal Palace vs Liverpool was on before and I watched that game. “We had confidence going into the game, but for them to beat Liverpool the way that they did gave us more passion and belief that we could beat Manchester United, although we knew that anyway it just added more weight to it."
