They were his team mates at Crystal Palace. Shipperley was there too at the same time and Paul Warhurst. I know it's tenuous. I'll get my coat.
Wow, I never know all those 3 played for Palace at the same time as Ishmael. Funny story re Warhurst. When we got promoted to the PL, when I had booked my STs at the Ticket Office (on the Friday morning when they came out) I went into the ground and the players were all walking onto the pitch for a team photo. I remember getting all the players autographs on my ST letter, then asking DW if we were signing Paul Warhurst from Blackburn. He said he couldn't tell me lol
We signed him in the end in 2003. He had a smashing debut. I didn't realise how many ex palace players we've had. There's Kevin Miller, Geoff Thomas and David Tuttle aswell.
I know 6 years too late, didn't he get sent off on his debut against Wednesday? then only lasted a month
Yeah I can't remember but think we were 1-0 up from an Anthony Kay goal. Game went downhill after he got sent off and we drew 1-1.
