Season summary

Smith immediately guided Palace back to the Premier League as runaway champions of the second tier,[1] Chris Armstrong top-scoring with 23 league goals.[2] During this period the badge was changed with the bird being replaced by one which Ron Noades felt more closely resembled an eagle.[3]
