# Crystal Palace: Fans respond to wonder goal from club legend

**Many Crystal Palace fans have remembered the great Don Rogers after the club’s Twitter account posted a video of one of his many great goals.**

With Don Rogers turning 74 today, the club reminded its fanbase of the brilliant winger by sharing a video of him beating a number of players on a muddy pitch before poking home the finish.

The left-winger is considered by many [Palace fans as a ‘legend’](https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=82&story=5365) despite playing less than 100 games over less than three seasons at the club. His stats speak for themselves though, with Rogers scoring 15 goals both in the 72/73 season and the 73/74 season, [according to Holmesdale.net,](https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=111&player=567) despite being a winger.

Many Palace fans will also remember Don Rogers for his sublime performance in Crystal Palace’s 5-0 win over Manchester United in 1972. The silky dribbler managed to score two goals in the game with two sublime bits of dribbling – as you can see from this [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r0nQA5Quug) video.

Many Palace fans responded to the tweet with their memories of the player. Have a read of some of them below…
