It was also known under its sponsored names of the Simod Cup from 1987 to 1989 and the Zenith Data Systems Cup from 1989 to 1992. The competition was created after the Heysel Stadium disaster, when English clubs were banned from European competition, as an additional competition for clubs in the top two divisions
  2. This was a football tournament organised by the London FA. The London Challenge Cup was first contested in 1908, and other than during the World Wars, was contested every season until 1974, when the tournament was disbanded.
  3. Amateur Sidney Sanders scored 6 in the 10-1 defeat of Reading, 4 March 1916 in the inter-war competitions, but is not considered part of official records.
  4. Includes Simpson's 6 goals against Exeter City as a double hat-trick
  5. Hat-trick completed either side of Half Time Period
  6. The transfer also included Andrew Johnson (footballer) in exchange from Birmingham to Palace
  7. During the First World War Crystal Palace won 10-1 v Reading, 4 March 1916, but this, as with all other inter-war competitions, is not considered part of official records.
