The early matches at Watford just a week apart is not a mistake - the second game v Port Vale was an FA Cup tie and the FA rather than the Football League did the appointments meaning refs could appear at the same club in quick succession. The last game was just after the end of the normal season and probably therefore his last match; it was definitely the last game for referee John Thacker (Lincoln).

I was at the Palace v Millwall game on 19th March 1969. A midweek game re-arranged because of a previous postponement, the game was a promotion 6-pointer in Div 2, a S London derby and played in front of over 32,500 fans, and with six goals in a Palace 4-2 win, it was definitely one of the great evenings in Palace history, and ultimately helped Palace to promotion at the end of the season. And the evening's entertainment was helped by the refereeing of Roger Kirkpatrick who was at his brilliant and eccentric best. Most of the fans went home totally satisfied!

Palace 5 Man Utd 0, Dec 1972, another great day in Palace history, although alas I wasn't there to see it. Referee was John Hunting.

Except, perhaps, the Millwall fans!!
