The 2007-08 campaign was a dramatic season of managerial change and soaring ambition for Crystal Palace, with The Eagles securing a hard-fought 5th-place finish in the Championship to reach the promotion play-offs. The year was defined by the mid-October arrival of manager Neil Warnock, who orchestrated a spectacular late surge of form, including a crucial ten-match unbeaten run to clinch the final play-off spot. Leading the attack was the beloved veteran Clinton Morrison, whose 16 league goals proved decisive in a campaign that ultimately ended with defeat in the semi-finals to Bristol City.
