Crystal Palace hero Darren Ambrose has shared his thoughts on ex-Eagles manager Paul Hart, on the ten-year anniversary of the former QPR man’s appointment.
Hart took the reins at Selhurst Park just a day after Neil Warnock left the club, midway through a turbulent campaign in which the south Londoners entered administration and were also docked ten points – plunging them into a relegation scrap when they were initially ninth and looking in good shape for a play-off spot.
Crystal Palace’s battle for survival eventually went down to the final day, where they would be relegated if they lost to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough – also, the Owls had to win if they were to stay up.
On a nervy day for the Eagles – in which relegation could very easily have seen them liquidated given the financial implications of dropping into League One – it was Ambrose who heroically slotted home Sean Scannell’s second-half cross to give Palace a 2-1 lead and eventually secure a 2-2 draw to survive.
Both Hart and Ambrose played a huge role in getting the club to where they are now, and the latter has issued his thoughts on the ten-year anniversary of his former boss’ appointment, which you can see below:
