Crystal Palace 1987–1991: Coppell, Wright & Bright, and the Cup Final RunHow did Steve Coppell's Crystal Palace rise from the Second Division to the 1990 FA Cup final and create one of the most iconic strike partnerships in English football?Episode SummaryIn this episode of By Far The Greatest Team, hosts Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney are joined by London regular Stuart Burgess to revisit the brilliance of Crystal Palace between 1987 and 1991.Guided by Steve Coppell, Palace rebuilt with smart recruitment, including scouting non-league gems like Ian Wright, whose late-blooming rise to stardom transformed the team.

Beyond results, the episode explores how this Palace side reflected a changing England — diverse, resilient, and unafraid to challenge tradition.Style of PlayCoppell's Palace combined resilient defending with direct, powerful attacking football. They thrived on pace, energy, and the strike force of Wright and Bright, who blended speed, flair, and aerial power.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look ahead to our trip to Anfield on Sunday. How are we all feeling about it? Is this a good time to travel there, with Liverpool's defence looking a bit shaky in their opening two games? We discuss who we think should get the nod - will Madueke start in place of Saka, will Eze get a full debut, or will he have to settle for a place on the bench? Does Martinelli's defensive work get him in on the left? Who starts at left back? We also run through what we think will happen in the remaining days of the transfer window. We even manage to squeeze in a little laugh at United, despite the recording finishing long before their penalty shoot out loss to Grimsby. There's the usual quiz stuff as well. Enjoy.

In this episode, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper revisit the dramatic story of Palace's remarkable run to the 1990 FA Cup Final.Just months after a crushing 9-0 defeat to Liverpool, Crystal Palace stunned the same side in a sensational 4-3 semi-final — a match still regarded as one of the greatest in FA Cup history. That victory set up a final against Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, who, at the time, were still chasing their first trophy under his management.Today, we delve into where Crystal Palace stood as a club in 1990, explore their tactical shifts, highlight standout performances — especially the impact of Ian Wright — and examine Manchester United's situation under Ferguson, including the pivotal moments that led to his first silverware with the club.

This week your favourite Aunties AK, Farrah & Nana tackle the latest Enemies of Progress ...Your Aunties Could Never dive into the viral outrage around a white mum and a hairdresser shaming a young mixed-race girl's natural hair, calling it "unmanageable" and pushing her to get rid of her beautiful curls.100 men vs a GorillaWhite Mum and Hairdresser Diss Mixed-Race Girl's Hair Billy Joe Saunders racist to NapperMisa Hylton sues Mary J BligeMadeleine McCann Case Receives More Funding Eni Aluko vs Ian Wright
Eni Aluko was the darling of the woke establishment—until one comment about Ian Wright brought it all crashing down. After our explosive debate on Heretics, she sent me a barrage of private messages, revealing far more than she intended. What started as a polite disagreement became one of the most controversial moments in sports punditry. Why was Eni really forced out of the Women's Football Awards? Why did the media turn on one of their own? And how did she become the target of the very outrage culture she once championed? In this video, I break down: - The viral moment that got Eni cancelled - Her private messages to me—and what they reveal - Why her comment about Ian Wright was the wrong target at the wrong time - The silent rebellion inside football against woke orthodoxy - What this saga tells us about race, gender, and power in modern media This is more than a media scandal—it's a story about identity, hypocrisy, and the fragile rules of the woke game. And for once, Eni Aluko wasn't holding the cards.
We've got so much for you this week! from lighter vibes like the 100 men vs a gorilla debate and cemetery open days, to more serious fare; how mysogynoir affects black women's outlook and Ian Wright in women's football. And of course we have to get to the heart of a real issue...which day of the week is the best? Bon appetit!

Lauren Laverne talks to Ian Wright in an episode first broadcast in 2020.Ian Wright is a former professional footballer and now a football pundit on TV and radio. He began his career at Crystal Palace before moving to Arsenal where he became their highest goal scorer of all time, a record only surpassed eight years later by Thierry Henry.Born to a Jamaican couple in south-east London, Ian grew up with his mother and step-father. His biological father had left the family when Ian was under two years old. Things at home were difficult and Ian spent as much time as possible outside playing football.At his primary school a teacher, Mr Pigden, took him under his wing and Ian would later credit him with changing his life. He left his secondary school at the age of 14 to get a job. Although he took part in trials for many professional football clubs as a teenager, he was never selected. He continued to play for amateur sides. By the age of 21, he had three children to provide for, so when Crystal Palace came calling in 1985, he turned them down three times before accepting a two-week trial, followed by a three-month contract. His football career had finally begun.After impressing as a forward at Palace, he was bought by Arsenal for a record fee in 1991. He was called up to the England squad the same year and would go on to collect 33 caps. He spent his last couple of years in professional football at a number of clubs around the country and in total, he played 581 league games, scoring 387 goals for seven clubs in England and Scotland. Since his retirement from football in 2000, he has had a career as a pundit on both TV and radio.He has eight children and has been happily married to his second wife, Nancy, since 2011.DISC ONE: The Marriage of Figaro: Duettino - Sull'aria by Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, composed by Lorenzo Da Ponte and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart DISC TWO: Looking For You by Kirk Franklin DISC THREE: River Deep Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner DISC FOUR: Redemption Song by Bob Marley & The Wailers DISC FIVE: Mysteries of the World by MSFB DISC SIX: Endlessly by Randy Crawford DISC SEVEN: Crown by Stormzy DISC EIGHT: Just Fine by Mary J BligeBOOK CHOICE: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon LUXURY ITEM: A seven iron golf club and golf balls CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Endlessly by Randy CrawfordPresenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Cathy Drysdale
