Crystal Palace v Stockport County (2025-01-12)

Palace first met Stockport before the days of Selhurst Park, back in 1923, winning comfortably by three goals and setting the precedent for a positive record over the next century.

After six meetings in the 1920s, Palace won the only previous FA Cup tie away from home in 1933, before coming out on top in the majority of the nine league meetings between 1959 and 2001.

Then came the big one. After staring down the barrel of relegation on the final day of the season, Palace survived at Edgeley Park in dramatic style.

Into the final day, it was winner takes all. Both Palace and relegation rivals Portsmouth were level on 46 points, and Huddersfield were on 47. Kember and his side knew they had to win at Stockport to survive, if other results were not in their favour.

The manager fielded a strong, attacking side, with the attacking trident of Clinton Morrison, Mikael Forssell and Freedman all starting. Despite Palace’s best efforts, relegation loomed large as results were going against them.

THE FULL 90 MINUTES! Stockport County vs Crystal Palace May 6th 2001

With three minutes to go at Edgeley Park, Freedman wrote himself into Palace folklore. The No. 9 advanced into the box and dropped his shoulder to send defender Robert Clare the wrong way, before smashing the ball home past ‘keeper Lee Jones.

The Railway End, which housed all the travelling Palace faithful, erupted. As it stood, the South Londoners were staying up. After the referee blew his whistle, the celebrations were toned down as an anxious wait for the result from Huddersfield awaited.

Listening on their radios and mobile phones, fans were desperately trying to find out confirmation of the result at McAlpine Stadium where they had to play out nine minutes of injury time.

Almost four minutes after the final whistle blew at Edgeley Park, news filtered through that Huddersfield had lost to Birmingham City and that confirmed Palace’s survival.

The scenes that ensued on that fateful day will be remembered forever by the fans who were there in Greater Manchester, the players and the coaching staff alike.

Following Monday night's draw, Crystal Palace are set to welcome Stockport County in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2025, with the club able to look back on some remarkable meetings between the two.
