I remember Coventry Away. I think we were 12 games without a win (I stand to be corrected). We got a 0-0 and Palmer was like the Terminator. They battered him. He left the pitch with a bandaged arm and a bandaged head. They kept knocking him down and he kept getting back up again. We got a 0-0, our first point in weeks, and we conga-ed back to the coach as if we’d just won the FA cup 😁 He was man of the match by a country mile that day. A massive case of gallows humour, we knew we were down that season, but it was a case of celebrate what you can.
I thought he subbed himself when we were 2-0 down at home against Swindon. But again, I could well be wrong 🤷♀️
