Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Crystal Palace FC has a history filled with ambition, setbacks, memorable players, dramatic matches, and moments that have stayed with generations of supporters. This book traces the club's journey from its early origins in 1861 and professional foundation in 1905 through the move to Selhurst Park, promotion battles, top flight campaigns, famous FA Cup runs, Wembley heartbreaks, and the emergence of players who became central to the identity of the Eagles. It brings together the important teams, managers, matches, personalities, triumphs, and difficult periods that have shaped the club across more than a century of English football.

The book also covers the modern era, including the rise of a new generation of talented players, the return to sustained Premier League football, the 2025 FA Cup triumph over Manchester City, and Palace's historic journey into European competition. With the UEFA Conference League victory in 2026 adding another major chapter to the club's history, this is a detailed account of the moments that have shaped Crystal Palace on and off the pitch. It is a book for Palace supporters and football readers who want to understand the journey behind the Eagles' place in English and European football.
