About Us

Crystal Palace's FA Cup and European fairy-tale is the stuff of dreams: If only you'd been here to see it

We did it, Dad.

You know, there's still one song I can't sing at Palace. I try to join in every time, but the words don't come out. A small lump forms in my throat and all I can do is mouth the song without substance.

The words to that song go:

When I was a young boy, my father said to me,

'Listen here, my son: you're CPFC.'

Here we are, you know us by our noise,

The pride of south London, the famous Palace boys.

In fact, I can sing the second half of it, usually, but the first bit? Not a chance. It stops me dead in my tracks.

It's been nearly six years since Dad passed away, right at the very start of the COVID lockdown, just as things changed forever.
