Hunter the great, the unbetable. The man who with the help of a grim defence ket Crytal Palace golless, winless and gave Exeter City their first away point of the season, Hunter at 26, valued by Exeter City in the £10,000 class played his greatest game ever for City at Selhurst Park. Certainly withou Hunter, City would have lost quite comfortably, he made a half dozen saves which should have all the superlatives in the book attached to them, The criss cross pattern of the Palace attacks weaved temselves into midfield command soon after the City's opening spurts and almost without break until the end of the game the Palace's perogative was attack but ineffectually, because City's tough, tenaciousuntiring defence clamped down visiously from the start and when they were beaten almost by sheer weigh of numbers there was Hunter. It was a pity that the City's forwards cannot have the same success story told of them, City's attacks, the dangerous ones that is, could have been doubled and they could still hve been ounted on the fingers of one hand Burke shot inches wide on one occasion and Potter made a brilliant save on another, but there were few other efforts at goal of note City played the last 15 minutes with ten men when Currie went off with concussion,
