STEPHEN BROWETT has revealed his pride at the number of Palace's past and present who attended club president Peter Morley's funeral this week.
The co-chairman paid tribute to Morley, who he described as a man who "loved Palace", while adding that if there was anyone who could bring the previous owners together into one room, it would have been him.
And Browett revealed former boss Dougie Freedman also travelled down from Bolton especially.
Browett said: "The fact that Mark Goldberg and Simon Jordan were there, plus Ron Noades' wife was there – Ron is not very well – and obviously us [CPFC2010], I don't think there are many people who would have got four of the previous owners of Palace into one room at one time.
"Peter was a really nice guy and had the knack of getting on with everybody.
"He loved his football and he loved Palace. Mark Bright was there and also Ian Evans, who was our captain in the 1970s a long time ago.
"But one thing that was really nice was that Dougie Freedman came down.
"He's moved up north but he came all the way down just for the funeral, which was great because he didn't have to and he made that effort.
"We caught up a bit and he was in good form. I half expected him to be a bit down due to what's happening at Bolton but he seemed positive.
"It was really nice to see him, he was really friendly so we had a good chat."
