Palace had been beaten 9-0 by Liverpool in the league, so when we got revenge in the FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park I threw my shirt into the crowd out of sheer excitement and celebration.

I regretted it almost immediately and years later a fan got in touch to say they had it and showed me a picture of it. I offered to buy it off him as it meant so much to me — but he wouldn’t sell!

It was the most memorable win of my career, and a 4-3 thriller at that. I drove back to London afterwards with friends including the Tottenham player Mitchell Thomas. 

I was hanging out the passenger window all the way home, singing and fist-pumping towards the Palace fans on the motorway. I’d never known footballing joy like it.

Mark Bright says his favourite football shirt was Crystal Palace's 1990 jersey which he wore during their 4-3 victory against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final
