Continue reading the main story New Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew wants to rekindle the spirit of his Eagles playing days as he prepares to take charge for the first time.
Pardew, 53, leads the Premier League club at Conference side Dover in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
The ex-Newcastle boss played for Palace between 1987 and 1991, helping them finish FA Cup runners-up in 1990.
"I think the fans remember that era, admired the spirit and would probably like to see more of that," he said.
"Hopefully I can bring that back. It's been a while since I played at Palace but it's somewhere I know well and it's close to my heart."
Palace could start a number of fringe players after contesting four games in 10 days over the busy festive period.
Skipper Mile Jedinak misses out as he is on international duty with Australia, while striker Marouane Chamakh is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The Eagles will give late fitness tests to defender Damien Delaney and midfielder James McArthur after they picked up injuries in the goalless draw at Aston Villa on New Year's Day.
Dover have reached the third round of the FA Cup for the second time in their history. They lost to Huddersfield in 2011.
Crystal Palace have won 14 and lost just one of their last 16 FA Cup matches against non-league opposition.
Dover have played four FA Cup matches this season and are yet to concede a goal.
But Palace have won just two of their last 14 FA Cup matches away from home.
Dover boss Chris Kinnear believes Pardew's arrival will have little bearing on the outcome between two sides who are separated by 86 places in the league ladder.
"It doesn't matter who the manager is, ultimately it's down to the lads on the pitch," he said.
"He can't change Crystal Palace in two days; the players can't change the way they play in two days."
Dover are one of two non-league teams still left in the FA Cup and are attempting to reach the fourth round for the first time in their 32-year history.
"We won't change how we play, yes we'll have to defend, but we are still going to go for it," added Kinnear.
"And why shouldn't we? Wrexham beat Arsenal, Sutton beat Coventry, so maybe now it can be Dover beating Palace - there's a chance."
Dover, who are 12th in the Conference, hope defender Sean Francis is fit after he suffered a groin injury in the 2-2 draw at Altrincham on 20 December.
But midfielder Chris Kinnear - son of the team's manager - is still recovering from a knee operation.
