About Crystal Palace
Students of nineteenth century English history will know the name “Crystal Palace” as the home to the Great Exhibition of 1851. The cast iron and plate glass structure originally stood in Hyde Park in the centre of London, but after the eExhibition closed it was moved and rebuilt on Penge Common, South Norwood, where it stood until its destruction by fire in 1936. The building gave its name to a new area of London and it became the venue for the FA Cup final each year.
The owners of the stadium wanted to have a team playing in the historic venue and hence Crystal Palace was born in 1905. The club played its matches at the Palace until it was forced out by the First World War. Six years after the war, it found its permanent home at Selhorst Park, where Palace has played ever since.
Early years saw Palace in the Southern League but in 1920 they became members of the Football League and were the first champions of the Third Division in 1920-21. It took another forty years for Palace to become a fairly regular fixture in the top two tiers of English football. In 1990-91, the last season of the old First Division, Palace were in contention for the League title and eventually finished third, the highest seed the club has ever achieved. After the end of the season, Crystal Palace was one of the founding clubs of the new Premier League.
Since then, Crystal Palace has reached the FA Cup final on two occasions, in 1990 and in 2016, where on both occasion it had lost to Manchester United.
Palace plays in red and blue vertical stripes since 1973, and their new nickname, accuired from the Glaziers, is the Eagles.
The club knew some turbulent financial crises after the turn of the century and tice went into administration, before eventually being sold to a consortium of local businessmen who had installed a much-needed stability. Ever since 2013, Crystal Palace is a permanent member of the Premier League, although a parade of managers has come and gone. At the end of 2020-21 season, the club appointed former Arsenal great Patrick Vieira as manager. Vieira's style of passion-based football has placed Palace a threat to any Premier League opponent.
Jim Cannon has played more games for the team than any other player, clocking up no fewer than 660 appearances in fifteen seasons at Selhurst Park between 1971 and 1988, scoring on his debut against London rivals Chelsea.
Kenny Sansom spent most of his playing time with Arsenal but with the evidence of five fine seasons with the Eagles, having started out in the youth team, many regard him as the club’s finest defender of all time.
Geoff Thomas played six seasons for Palace, making 249 appearances and scoring 35 goals. He was part of the team that finished third in 1990-91 and was captain for the Eagles’ first FA Cup final.
Mark Bright and Ian Wright formed a striking partnership over six years and together they ensured that the goals flowed at Selhurst Park. Wright was to go on to bigger things at Arsenal but is still regarded as the Club’s greatest striker ever.
Crystal Palace plays in-almost 100 years-old (opened 1924) Selhurst Park, which holds a capacity of 25,486 seats. Plans have been submitted in order to increase capacity to 30,000 and 40,000 seats.
