Mail Sport, with the help of our readers, is on a mission to find the greatest player of all-time at each of the 20 Premier League clubs. Today, we’re focusing on the legends of Crystal Palace, from record scorer Peter Simpson to the Team of the Eighties and Wilfried Zaha.

Crystal Palace may not have won a major trophy, but they’ve always produced individual stars, often from the talent-rich streets of south London.

The first of these stars was Scot Peter Simpson, who joined Palace in 1929 and scored an impressive 165 goals in six prolific years, a record that still stands today.

Next, we have Johnny “Budgie” Byrne, nicknamed for his non-stop chatter, who emerged through the youth ranks to win his first full England cap in 1961, while the club was still in the Third Division.

Byrne was eventually lured to West Ham, where he played alongside World Cup winners Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, and Martin Peters, but returned to Selhurst Park for a second spell, taking his goal tally to three figures.

At the other end of the pitch, goalkeeper John Jackson played 222 consecutive games in the 1960s and was a valuable member of the promotion team that reached the top flight for the first time in their history in 1968.

His unflappability earned him the nickname “Stonewall,” and he was still in goal for arguably Palace’s most famous victory, 5-0 against Manchester United at the end of 1972.

Centre-half and captain Jim Cannon played 660 games between 1973 and 1988, a record that has never been bettered.

Cannon was part of the team when Terry Venables produced a new exciting side dubbed The Team of the Eighties after winning promotion in 1979 in front of a record 51,000 crowd at Selhurst Park.

Skilful winger Vince Hilaire made his debut aged 17 in 1977 and became one of the first black players to make it big, overcoming widespread racism along the way.
