Between 1987 and 1991, Crystal Palace soared higher than ever before. Steve Coppell’s side — built on non-league gems like Ian Wright, Mark Bright, and Alan Pardew — reached the 1990 FA Cup Final, finished third in the league, and even lifted the Full Members Cup. It was Palace’s most exhilarating era: a mix of grit, glamour, and heartache that defined the club’s golden late-80s rise.
