Why this club
Crystal Palace have been south London's Premier League constant: a tight, loud Selhurst Park and an eagle on the shirt. Founded in 1905, they yo-yoed for years and finally won the FA Cup in 2025 — the club's first major trophy. The fanbase is local, vocal, and allergic to being anyone's second club. A strong choice if you want London without the tourist sheen.
