Steve Kember reflects on career in programme exclusive

In the official programme last season, Terry Byfield spoke with Steve Kember about the Palace legend's life and career and, before the Eagles face Chelsea this weekend at Stamford Bridge, you can read what Kember had to say below.

It is quite easy in football to create iconic moments. What isn't so easy is becoming an icon. And what is nigh on impossible is becoming a club legend across two different decades and playing a key part in two of the proudest and most important achievements of one club.

That is of course unless your name is Steve Kember; a name that still carries a lot of affection in the terraces almost 54 years since the midfielder signed his first professional contract with his boyhood club on the 8th December 1965.
