_MANAGER’S COMMENTS

DOUGIE FREEDMAN THE MANAGER GIVES HIS EXCLUSIVE COMMENTS AHEAD OF EACH HOME GAME ONLY IN THE OFFICIAL MATCHDAY PROGRAMME. PICTURES: Neil Everitt CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

Firstly I would like to welcome Paul Lambert and all the players and officials who have made the journey down from Norwich this afternoon.

A big thank you for the excellent welcome you gave me for my first home match last weekend as manager, it gave me a real sense of pride to be in this position for such a great football club.

Going into last weekend's match against Bristol City first and foremost I was aware that a priority with this group of players is to stop us losing goals and in turn matches.

I was pleased we recorded our fifth clean sheet in a row at home which meant the preparation we had put in to the defensive side of our game certainly paid off. It certainly wasn't the best match to watch I know from the stands but we had Darren Ambrose and Alex Marrow come back in, picked up a point and Jermaine Easter had his first start for the club.

Massive change is not simply going to happen overnight but I am trying to change the mentality to a team that's going to be difficult to beat and with the creative ability we have I am confident we can get goals and turn hard working performances into maximum points.

MANAGER’S COMMENTS_

IT WAS NICE THIS WEEK TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE JAMES VAUGHAN ON LOAN HERE UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON. I HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT BRINGING IN PLAYERS I THINK ARE RIGHT FOR THE CLUB AND WAS NEVER GOING TO RUSH INTO ANY DECISIONS.

Last Saturday we showed a commitment, desire and effort which was encouraging. I think there was one team trying to win the match and it was pleasing the guys took on what we asked.

History tells you the players we've got do have goals, but it has always been my intention to bring in another striker and it was nice this week to once again take James Vaughan on loan here until the end of the season. I have spoken about bringing in players I think are right for the club and was never going to rush into any decisions. I think we're still an attractive club to come to and at the time of writing these notes I am still hoping to add further to the squad before the deadline closes on Monday evening.

Just before last weekend's match I was pleased to be able to bring Lennie Lawrence into the club as my assistant. He has huge experience, I will drive the ship and he will steer it and he will help not only me but this club greatly. He was my number one choice but I wanted to do it right so it took a little bit longer. In this past week he has been invaluable to me both on the training ground and helping behind the scenes with all the other matters that occur in WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

the day to day running at a modern day football club.

I was pleased to receive notification from The F.A. this week that Wilfried Zaha has been selected for the Under 19s international against Germany. This will be a great experience for him and will be another chapter in his education in the game at such a young age.

I am sure like myself it was exciting for you all to hear the plans that the Board Of Directors announced last week regarding relocating the club to our original home at the Crystal Palace Park.

This is another example of the plans

that the owners have to move this club forward and it will certainly be interesting to see how it develops in the years ahead.

We are in middle of an important set of home matches with a trip to Watford on Tuesday sandwiched in between so your support this afternoon will be as important as ever, so please get behind the lads from the first whistle and together we can start moving in the right direction.

CAPTAIN’S COMMENTS_

PADDY McCARTHY GIVES HIS LATEST COMMENTS DIRECT FROM THE DRESSING ROOM EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE MATCHDAY PROGRAMME.

CAPTAIN’S COMMENT thought we put in a very good defensive performance against Bristol City.

They came with a game plan having conceded four goals the weekend before, so they set up really defensively and made it hard for us to play. They had four centre-halves across the back and it was tough to break them down but on the flip side of that I thought we put in a decent defensive display and on another day we could have won the game.

I thought Clyney adjusted well to playing at left back, he's good enough to play on either side, and Alex Marrow put in a solid display on his return to the team, so as a whole team I thought it was fantastic defensively. Five clean sheets in a row at home is something that we can build upon, we have conceded a few goals this season but that shows we are obviously good enough to keep teams out. We just have to put it all together and score a few goals now, which I'm sure our new striker will help with.

It's a massive boost for everyone having James (Vaughan) here, he's a player of Premier League quality and

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

I think it will give everybody a lift around the training ground. Obviously having somebody of his calibre in the team gives a huge lift to the supporters as well. It also sends out a statement as to where this club is going, it's a great capture for the club at this stage of the year. Somebody of his quality coming here even though we're in the position that we're in in the league just shows that the club is looking to move forward. I'm absolutely delighted with the signing and I know everyone else connected with the club is too.

Our home form recently has been good results wise and we've kept another clean sheet on Saturday so that'll do all the lads good, confidence wise.

Hopefully we can add to that with a couple of goals on Saturday, and if we can keep another clean sheet we have a chance of pushing up the table.

Norwich are flying this year, they've obviously come off the back of a really good season winning the league last year and Paul Lambert has got them going again in the Championship so they will be full of confidence after their victory away at Sheffield United.

We've done some work on Norwich this week but most importantly it's

about us and we'll go into the game with confidence having got a result at Carrow Road earlier in the season.

The games are coming think and fast at the moment and we've got Watford next Tuesday and they are up there near the play-offs at the moment. Every game in the Championship is difficult and doesn't come much tougher than Norwich, Watford and Middlesbrough in a week, but I feel we've got enough in our changing room to get a good tally of points from those three games.

It's one of those divisions where if you can get a run of results you do push up towards mid-table so that's our aim for the week.

Enjoy the game,

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

WELCOME LENNIE The club are delighted to welcome Lennie Lawrence to the management team as Dougie Freedman's assistant.

Lennie has huge experience having managed more than 1,000 games in football and we are delighted to be able to bring you a full interview with Lennie on pages 62/63.

JO'S BRAND OF HUMOUR IS A WINNER Comedian and Palace fan Jo Brand had a busy day last Saturday which ended with her picking up an award at the British Comedy Awards ceremony at the O2.

Brand was one of the match sponsors for our game against Bristol City and was here with her party of guests before making her way to the awards ceremony.

Jo is soon to host a new comedy show pilot for ITV1. The Marriage Ref will see the comedian joined by 'top-notch' celebrities and comics to debate marriage arguments.

The show looks at real-life couples who are very much in love, but have something quirky and ridiculous that they argue about. The description of the pilot adds: "No tiff is too absurd for the show - from a couple who bicker about the husband's desire to stuff and display his beloved dead pooch... to a wife who is fed up of her husband taking his wedding ring off every time he goes out with his mates."

We wish Jo the best of luck with this presenting role and thank her for the continued sponsorship she undertakes at the club.

PALACE WELCOME CHURCH LEADERS Crystal Palace Football Club, under our new owners, are committed to re-establishing the club as an integral part of the community.

Palace have recognised that, within the community, there is a large and diverse church that is very actively involved in serving many areas of the society that we live in.

Working with club chaplain Chris Roe, Palace have established excellent links with a number of key church leaders in Croydon and surrounding localities in a short space of time.

At the Bristol City match last week, the club were delighted to host a number of church ministers, both black and white, and from a diversity of denominations.

Many were at a football match for the first time and were excited to not only experience the match day atmosphere, but also at the potentially farreaching developments and opportunities of working with Palace.

CPFC find themselves in the unique position of being one of the first professional football clubs to be working with the local Church in this way, modelling a pioneering work which other clubs will inevitably follow.

AMBROSE GOAL IS VOTED CPFC GOAL OF 2010 Darren Ambrose's stunning free-kick against Aston Villa has won Palace's Goal Of 2010 after a huge response from the fans.

The Football League have launched a search to find the Mitre Goal of the Year 2010 and we asked fans to vote to decide which of our goals should be put forward as our nomination.

The midfielder's 35-yard

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

free-kick came in a thrilling FA Cup tie against Villa which ended 2-2 and was the winner by some margin. Ambrose's strike against Watford in November and Owen Garvan's screamer at Deepdale were among the other nominations.

Our nominated goal will then be entered in the Mitre Goal of the Year category at the 2011 Football League Awards,

held in association with npower.

In conjunction with viewers and presenters of Soccer AM, the entries will be shortlisted from the 72 club nominations to five goals overall. Watch Soccer AM from early February to take part in the vote. The winner will be decided at the ceremony at The Brewery, London on Sunday 20th March.

VAUGHAN AGAIN

FROM THE TRUST The Trust is delighted to help publicise the inaugural Palace On Tour Day (POTD) as thousands of Palace fans from around the country are planning to make the trip to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena on 12th February. Stemming from an idea on the Palace fans’ forums, POTD has captured the imagination of supporters, who are being urged to travel to the match. The aim is to celebrate the club in the best way we know how, by singing and displaying the Palace colours with pride.

Supporters are being encouraged to create a carnival atmosphere at the ground, with themes including fedora and cigars, to commemorate the late Big Mal, and silly hats on display. 2000 red and blue balloons have been bought by the fans and will be given away on the day, and also to those purchasing tickets in person at the box office.

Trust Board member Richard Wilsher is one of the driving forces behind this initiative and is encouraging Trust members to get involved with this fabulous idea!

The organisers behind POTD said, “This is simply about having a great day out supporting the club we love. We all saw how passionate Palace fans are last season- the protests at Lloyds and the magnificent support at Sheffield Wednesday. We want to replicate that, and also say a big thank you to CPFC2010 for saving the club.

The away support has been terrific already this season, and we want to double that at Coventry.”

You can contact the Trust at cpstrust@hotmail.com and keep up-to-date with all the latest news on the Trust’s website www.cpstrust.org.uk.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

Crystal Palace have signed James Vaughan on loan from Everton for the remainder of the season, with the option of making the move permanent in the summer.

Vaughan has returned to Palace having scored five goals for the club in 14 games during his first spell and will take the number 20 shirt.

James said: "I'm really glad the move's been completed. I'll hopefully start training with the lads and playing soon. I'm really looking forward to it.

"Dougie was a big part in me coming back, he worked really closely with me last time I was here. And, the Palace fans have always been good to me and while I've been away a lot were trying to contact me, which was great."

Co-chairman Steve Parish said: "We are absolutely delighted that James has decided to return for a second stint at Crystal Palace. It's a testament to Dougie and Phil's sheer persistence that we managed to get this over the line.

"This along with the signing of Jermaine (Easter) and others we are working on is a signal of how serious our intent is to start climbing the table "I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to welcome James back at the Norwich game."

ZAHA CALLED UP TO ENGLAND UNDER 19S Eagles striker Wilfried Zaha has been called up to the latest squad for the England under 19s.

The Palace forward could make his debut at under 19 level against Germany on Tuesday 8 February at Chesterfield's B2net stadium.

Zaha has already made 27 appearances for the club this season and his form has been rewarded by under 19s Head Coach Noel Blake.

PHYSIO_

ALEX MANOS GIVES HIS LATEST COMMENTS DIRECT FROM THE TREATMENT ROOM FOR THE MATCHDAY PROGRAMME.

Hello to all the fans today, welcome to another home game.

With no further news from the treatment room this week I thought I'd write about what happens on match day from our point of view and how the boys prepare before the game. On a match day we try to get to the ground for about 12-12-30pm.

This gives us time to set up by organising the drinks, laying out the medical equipment and ensuring that all is in place for when the team arrives.

The players usually arrive between 1 and 1.30. Sometimes the manager may take the players to watch a tactical video before the game. Once that is out of the way, the players start preparing for the game. The first thing which is done is the music is turned on! If the team has had a winning streak then the play-list is the same (some of the boys are a bit superstitious). The players then start getting changed. Some like to get changed nice and early and be ready, others leave it till later. The mood is usually quite relaxed and there is always a good feel about the place before the game.

From our point of view we will work on players who need something before the game. The two main things we need to do are massages and strappings.

It tends to be the same people who need something and there is also usually a routine in the order they come in. For example, Paddy and Wrighty are usually first in! On the whole it is ankle strappings and the occasional shoulder strapping. Massages tend to be quick and light to increase the blood flow just before the game and stimulate the muscles.

The players go out for the warm up at 2.15. The WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

BELOW: The medical room ready for pre-match work.

mood just prior to this starts to change as they start to focus on the game. The manager and coach have given some more tactics prior to the warm up and the lads are then ready to go. The warm up is taken

by Scott Guyett to start with. This will start with some running and then move onto shorter drills which will incorporate dynamic movement and also speed and agility drills. There will also be a couple of minutes of static stretching. Once they have done this, the coach will take them for a keep ball session in a small area. After this the players then may be split in to groups.

The defenders may work on heading for example, and the strikers on finishing.

Just before they come in, the team do three short and sharp sprints to really 'fire them up one'! The warm up in total lasts 30 minutes.

The players then come in, get changed into their match shirts, put shin pads on, and do any last minute preparations. Just before they are called out the manager and coach will have the final speech and then its good to go!

Hopefully this has given you a bit of an insight into the pre-game preparations (obviously I can't reveal all our secrets for others to know!!)

Enjoy the game and lets hear you make some noise.

Alex

NORWICH

CITY CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

The way Norwich went about winning League One last year gave their fans reason to think they would have a good season in the Championship. Even the most die-hard supporter though probably didn't expect to see the Canaries flying as high as third after 27 games.

The Canaries have been one of the most efficient sides in the league with their 44 goals yielding them 47 points. Their form coming into the game has been good too, with wins against QPR and Sheffield United helping them into a top three position going into this game.

Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93 and led the league for most of the WWW.CPFC.CO.UK

season before faltering to finish third behind champions Manchester United and Aston Villa.

The following season they played in the UEFA Cup for the first time and caused a huge shock by beating European giants Bayern Munich.

They are the only British team to have beaten Bayern in their Olympic Stadium. Norwich exited the competition at the next stage, losing to eventual winners Inter Milan.

The club were relegated in 1994/95 and a year later TV chef Delia Smith and her husband Michael Wynn-Jones took over the majority shareholding. Under Nigel Worthington, Norwich returned to the top-flight by winning the league in 2003/04. It was a Crystal Palace win, 3-0 against Sunderland, that saw the Canaries clinch promotion without playing.

Palace also won promotion that season, but both teams were cruelly relegated on the last day with Norwich going down 6-0 at Fulham when a win would have kept them up.

After several mediocre seasons in the Championship, the Canaries were relegated in 2008/09 and started their League One campaign with a 7-1 home defeat against Colchester United. Colchester's boss Paul Lambert was persuaded to join Norwich not long after and the club haven't looked back since.

Lambert's recent signings include Leon Barnett, who has made himself at home at the heart of the Norwich back four and striker Simeon Jackson whose record for Norwich is better than a goal every three games.

MANAGER:

PAUL LAMBERT Record as Manager of Norwich City P80 W46 D17 L17

Don't think managers make a difference? Ask Norwich City fans. Paul Lambert is perhaps best known as the man who masterminded Colchester's 7-1 opening day victory at Norwich before swapping sides and helping City record a 5-0 away win.

More than just correcting that result though, Lambert saw his side sweep to the League One title, despite Leeds leading the league by nine points at Christmas. Under Lambert, Norwich made up that deficit with ease and ended up winning the league by nine points.

Lambert was also a more than half-decent player, whose career highlights include winning 40 international caps for Scotland and playing in the 1998 World Cup. A former Celtic star, he had a hugely successful club career, which included winning the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund in 1997.

His first managerial appointment was at Scottish Premier League side Livingston in 2005, before he moved to Wycombe in 2006. While there, he led the 'Chairboys' to the League Cup semi-finals, defeating Premier League opponents Fulham and Charlton along the way. Lambert then resigned as Wycombe manager in 2007 following the club's defeat by Stockport County in the League Two play-offs.

The former Scotland captain's next move saw him succeed Geraint Williams at Colchester where he stayed for less than a year before Norwich approached him.

While football ultimately comes down to the quality of players, those doubting the influence of a good manager should note two more statistics.

Under Lambert's stewardship Norwich have never lost successive games and have scored in every away game bar this season's 0-0 draw against QPR.

_TODAY’S VISITORS

[1] John Ruddy Position: Goalkeeper Nationality: English

Goalkeeper John Ruddy joined City from Everton in a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee in July 2010.

Ruddy came through the youth ranks at Cambridge United, where he made 43 appearances having made his debut as an 18-year-old.

He joined Everton in the summer of 2005 for a fee of £250,000 and benefited from a number of loan spells before being handed his debut when 'keeper Iain Turner was sent off in the ninth minute against Blackburn Rovers.

Ruddy went on to keep a clean sheet as Everton beat Rovers 1-0.

[2] Russell Martin Position: Defender Nationality: English

Russell Martin joined City permanently in January 2010 after an initial loan deal from Peterborough. He made his Norwich debut in the 3-0 win against Southend United last December and didn't look back, making the rightback spot his own as City won the League One title.

Having started his career with home town club Brighton, he

moved to Wycombe where under the stewardship of current boss Paul Lambert, he made almost 150 appearances. He then captained Peterborough to automatic promotion from League One before moving to Norwich.

[22] Elliot Ward Position: Defender Nationality: English

Central defender Elliot Ward joined City on a two-year deal from Coventry City on a free transfer on July 1, 2010 becoming Paul Lambert's second summer signing.

Ward came through the youth ranks at West Ham United and made 21 appearances in all competitions before moving to Coventry for £1m in 2006.

The 25-year-old captained the Sky Blues, becoming their penalty taker in his 126 appearances and scoring 16 goals.

[5] Michael Nelson Position: Defender Nationality: English

Central defender Michael Nelson became the club's third summer signing in 2009 after joining from Hartlepool. Nelson made more than

30 appearances for Norwich last year and although the signing of Leon Barnett has limited his appearances this season, he is a no nonsense defender and a valuable member of the squad.

[20] Leon Barnett Position: Defender Nationality: English

Centre-back Barnett initially joined the Canaries on loan from Premier League West Brom in August but made the move permanent in January after proving himself to be a stand-out defender at this level. A former Luton Player Of The Year and trainee, Barnett has formed a formidable defensive partnership with Elliot Ward this season as Norwich chase successive promotions.

[15] David Fox Position: Midfielder Nationality: English

Midfielder David Fox joined City on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Colchester United in June 2010. The cultured midfielder was signed by Lambert for Colchester in 2009 from Blackpool and it was Lambert again who brought him to Norwich.

The midfielder started his career at Old Trafford where he captained Manchester United's reserve side before moving to Bloomfield Road in 2006.

His three and a half years with the Seasiders included the League One Play-Off Final where they beat Yeovil 2-0 to secure their place in the Championship.

[12] Andrew Crofts Position: Midfielder Nationality: Welsh

An all-action midfielder, Crofts joined City from Brighton in CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

TODAY’S VISITORS_

May 2010. He made his debut at Gillingham at just 16 and made almost 200 appearances for the club before moving to Brighton.

He joined the Seagulls on a free transfer and was almost ever-present in their 2009/10 campaign, missing just two games and establishing himself as a fan favourite.

Crofts has been capped 13 times

by Wales and is enjoying a good season with the Canaries having chipped in with six goals already.

[14] Wes Hoolahan Position: Midfielder Nationality: Irish

Born in Dublin, Wes started his career with Shelbourne, winning three League of Ireland championships and was named PFAI Young Player of the Year in 2002/03. He moved to Blackpool via Livingston and scored 16 goals in two seasons before Glenn Roeder brought him to Norwich in 2008.

Last season the playmaker formed part of an impressive attacking trio with strikers Grant Holt and Chris Martin, who combined to score 67 goals as City returned to the Championship at the first time of asking.

[10] Simeon Jackson Position: Striker Nationality: Canadian

Striker Simeon Jackson joined the Canaries on July 15 for an undisclosed fee. The Canadian international had become one of the most sought-after players outside the top two divisions after topping the goalscoring charts at Gillingham during the two previous seasons.

Hero-status was secured at the Gills after he scored both goals in the semi-final against Rochdale and the only goal of the game against Shrewsbury at Wembley as they won promotion.

Jackson has been capped 13 times by Canada and has two international goals to his name.

[16] Chris Martin Position: Striker Nationality: English

Beccles-born Martin exploded onto the first team scene in 2007 with five goals including the extra-time winner against Blackpool in the FA Cup fourth round.

His good form also saw him win call-ups for England's Under-19 squad and he notched a debut goal against Turkey in March 2007.

Scoring 17 times in the league last season, Martin has six goals this year including the winner against Barnsley at Carrow Road.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

[19] Simon Lappin Position: Midfielder Nationality: Scottish

Lappin joined City from St.Mirren in January 2007 after making 178 appearances for the Saints and scoring 12 times.

Costing just 100k Lappin has made himself a regular under fellow Scot Lambert and last year started more games than any other player. The left-sided midfielder has been capped for Scotland at under-16, under-18 and under-21 levels.

[9] Grant Holt Position: Striker Nationality: English

Grant Holt was signed from Shrewsbury Town in 2009 having topped the League Two goal-scoring charts with 28 goals the previous season. Holt started his professional career at Halifax Town but didn't come to prominence until a move to Rochdale saw him score 34 league goals from 75 games. A successful spell at Nottingham Forest followed and his Norwich career is following the same pattern. Last season he scored 30 goals as the Canaries eased to the League One title.

ONE TO WATCH:

HENRI LANSBURY

POSITION: Midfielder NATIONALITY: English GAMES: 5 GOALS: 0

After impressing in his first loan spell, Henri's loan was made permanent until the end of the season as Norwich chase automatic promotion.

Enfield born Lansbury is one of the new generation of English talent which has emerged through the ranks at Arsenal.

A quick, skilful and intelligent midfielder, he is comfortable on either flank but, like so many creative players, prefers operating through the centre.

Lansbury spent the 2009/10 season on loan at Watford and impressed enough to earn a callup to the England Under-21s in November, making his debut against Portugal.

Former captain of the England Under 16 team, he was part of the Under 17 team which reached the final of the 2007 European Championship but missed the match due to concussion. He has also captained England at Under 19 level and was part of the team which lost to Ukraine in the final of the 2009 European Championship.

Arsene Wenger has described Lansbury as “the type of player who I rate because of his qualities, but as well as his mental strength, the timing of his runs. He gives you qualities that are very difficult to find in the modern game.”

He has already achieved one of his goals by scoring against Tottenham Hotspur, describing his strike in the Gunners 4-1 Carling Cup win as 'like a dream'.

Two goals from Andrew Crofts took Norwich up to third in the Championship and kept Sheffield United within touching distance of the relegation zone.

In a clichĂŠd game of two halves, the hosts had the better of the first half, with striker Ched Evans twice forcing Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy to save well, but as the game opened up in the second half Norwich found their feet and went on to secure an impressive away win.

United, still looking for their first win under Micky Adams, saw Evans blast a 25-yard volley wide early on while Grant Holt saw an early header fly just over for the Canaries. Better chances were to befall Evans who first saw an effort comfortably saved by Ruddy, before he did well to take down a free-kick in the box only to see his powerful strike saved by the 'keeper's legs.

Chris Martin then served warning of Norwich's intent with a curling free-kick that came back off the crossbar as the first half ended goalless.

The home side were made to pay for their profligacy in the second half when Steve Simonsen flapped at a David Fox corner and Crofts pounced to smash home. Norwich's lead was to be short-lived though as this time Evans, a former Canary, latched on to a long ball from the goalkeeper and did well to hold off his man before turning and finding the net expertly.

As the game opened up Norwich looked the more likely to win it with first Martin forcing a good save from Simonsen and then, from the resulting corner, Holt heading wide when he might have expected to do better.

With ten minutes to go, a third straight draw looked on the cards for United until they failed to deal with another corner. This time the ball falling to Simon Lappin whose effort was well-blocked, but when the ball came back to Crofts he made no mistake, volleying home his and City's second for all three points.

FROM THE PRESS BOX_

FROM THE PRESS BOX

EACH WEEK WE SPEAK TO A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITION’S LOCAL PRESS.

Chris Goreham BBC Radio Norfolk TODAY'S PREDICTION: 1-3

Having won League One comfortably last season, Norwich have started the season brilliantly. What do you think are realistic expectations for the season? I think the fans

will have been pleasantly surprised by what they've seen. Norwich started the season really well and so far have kept that going. They play some really good football at times and I think, what with this being their first season after promotion, most would be happy with a mid-table finish as the club starts to re-establish itself in the Championship. It's a huge achievement them being in the top six at the moment.

And how much of that is down to the manager Paul Lambert?

A lot - almost all of it really. He's made such a big difference since coming to the club. I think it's one of the best football stories of recent times that he was the Colchester manager when they beat Norwich 7-1, to leave us at our lowest ebb for maybe 50 years, and then 10 days later he got the Norwich job and it's not going too far to say that he's transformed the club. There's a real different feel about the whole club now, they've come so far from the team that were relegated from the Championship. They seem to have a manager, for the first time in quite a few years, who's really taking the club in the right direction.

Some of that is down to shrewd work in the transfer

market, who would you say are Norwich's star men? I think

the manager's made a lot of very good signings this season.

The front three last season were particularly impressive. They played a diamond midfield with Wes Hoolahan behind Grant Holt and Chris Martin, and those three between them got well over 60 goals. He's slightly reshuffled this season but those players are the best that Norwich have got as an attacking threat. He's bought well this season too, he's brought in Leon Barnett from West Brom and he's made a big difference to the heart of the defence.

Do you think Norwich will do any late deals before the end of January? I think Lambert

would like to, but times are tight and as with most clubs he'll be slightly restricted by finances. I think the supporters would feel that Norwich belong, at the very least, challenging at the top of the Championship and there's definitely some strengthening to do but it all depends how much money's available.

Has it added a bit of stardust to the team having Henri Lansbury at the club? Yep, he's

been fantastic. He's now with us until the end of the season. He made his debut against Ipswich in the East Anglia derby where he set up the second goal for Grant Holt with a superb defense-splitting pass. He looks a real talent and has been very, very impressive in the games he's played in so far.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

ABOVE: Paul Lambert, manager of Colchester United who beat Norwich 7-1 in the opening game of the season. He was appointed 10 days later as the Norwich manager after the sacking of Bryan Gunn.

Lansbury seems to have fitted in easily to Norwich's attacking style under Lambert, is that fair?

Absolutely. I think probably the most impressive thing this season has been their approach to games away from home, where they do play very positively. You see so many teams who sit back away from home and try and keep it 0-0 as long as possible and then knick a goal. Lambert doesn't play like that, they do go for it away from home. They scored two goals in the first 15 minutes against Derby recently, and I think they've surprised a lot of teams.

Lambert always says that the club has so many followers at away games that he has a responsibility to try and win the match.

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

Palace ended 1990 on a high note with a live televised game against Liverpool at Selhurst Park on Sunday 30th December. The morning began with Steve Coppell agreeing a three and a half year contract as manager and the team then went out to prove the F.A. Cup semi-final victory that April was no flash in a pan by defeating the League leaders by a single goal.

The Eagles made all the running and scored the only goal three minutes from half time as Ian Wright eluded Gary Gillespie and his low cross was diverted by Mark Bright past the unsighted Bruce Grobbelaar. Liverpool came back in the second half but found Nigel Martyn in tip-top form while their frustration led to a couple of bookings, the final whistle bringing a fitting climax to an outstanding year.

The price of playing six games with the same starting eleven in seventeen days took its toll at Villa Park on New Year’s Day. With only two days rest since the Liverpool victory the Eagles succumbed to a David Platt penalty two minutes into the second half and a second for the England striker three minutes before the end.

The F. A. Cup Third Round paired the club with Nottingham Forest and the first of what would turn out to be an ‘extended’ tie began at Selhurst Park on Sunday 6th January with a goalless draw, again in front of live television cameras. Forest were content to sit back in a somewhat sterile first half and only showed a little more attacking prowess as the game wore on but the Eagles nearly won it at the death as Ian Wright’s header was cleared off the line. The replay three days later was only called off due to a waterlogged pitch seventy-five minutes before kick-off with the team and many fans having made a wasted journey.

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

PLEASE NOTE: This copy was written for the Boxing Day programme.

WWW.CPFC.CO.UK

Palace ventured north to Accrington Stanley on Saturday 17th December and the home team feared they could be on the end of another nine goal thrashing as Palace stormed into a three goal lead inside the first thirteen minutes through Ron Heckman, Roy Summersby and Johnny Byrne.

Stanley then rolled their sleeves up and reduced the arrears eight minutes later and although they added a second ten minutes into the second half, the Palace midfield held their grip to win the game.

The Christmas period brought two fixtures with Exeter City and Palace ran out at St. James’ Park on Boxing Day to be faced with a muddy morass of a pitch. Johnny Gavin opened the scoring and although the Grecians equalised, Roy Summersby was on hand to net a mis-hit Johnny Byrne shot just on half-time. In the second half Byrne swept home a cross from Dennis Uphill although Palace were pegged back to 3-2 moments from the end when Exeter scored from the penalty spot.

Twenty-four hours later Exeter came to Selhurst Park bottom of Division Four, and with a woeful away record, as the third largest crowd of the season, over twenty-eight thousand, filled the terraces in anticipation of Palace making it four wins in a row. However they were disappointed as Palace failed to fire in a game of few chances but the club remained top of the table.

Seven days before Christmas Day the Palace team crossed over London to face Queens Park Rangers and with Robert McCracken suffering a broken ankle in the home game against Swansea, ‘Tom’ Jones was drafted into the half-back line as his replacement. The reshuffled backline could not cope with the muddy conditions that favoured the Rangers players and they ran out 3-0 winners.

In the days when it was traditional to have a fixture on Christmas Day, Palace found themselves at the Goldstone Ground to face Brighton. Reserve centre-forward Arthur Swift was brought in for his debut to replace Ted Smith and he found himself a little out of his depth being well shackled by defenders and dallying too long with his only opportunity to score. Sadly he had to leave the pitch injured with twenty five minutes left of his only appearance for the first team. Before this, goalkeeper Jack Alderson had covered himself in glory by parrying a penalty kick and then blocking the rebound while, despite being down to ten men, Palace rallied with two goals from Jack Conner in the last fifteen minutes to win the game 2-0.

Ted Smith was back in the forward line for the return fixture two days later on Monday 27th December and a 22,000 crowd, the biggest of the season, packed The Nest. With six minutes left of the first half Brighton took the lead but then Conner was brought down in the penalty area and Albert Feebury netted from the spot.The half ended with Conner being heavily charged again and he left the field being carried across the trainer’s back.

However, he was able to resume and after an hour’s play his drive rebounded off the crossbar for Ted Smith to net and put Palace ahead.With ten minutes left Smith and Conner exchanged passes for Smith to run on and score and then in the final couple of minutes Brighton were awarded a penalty that they converted but the two points took Palace back to second place.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

ARTHUR SWIFT I have to admit I know very little about Arthur, he joined the club in the summer of 1920 when aged 28 from West Bromwich Albion having appeared for them in the league before the First World War. Arthur hailed from West Hartlepool, playing for a club called Hartlepools Expansion before moving to the Midlands. With Palace he played for the reserves and after his sole first team appearance Arthur was still with the club for the following campaign but then suffered a leg injury in October 1921 after which I can find no trace.

MY FIRST_

FIRST TEAM YOU SUPPORTED AS A BOY Boca Juniors back

home in Buenos Aires, my grandad was a massive fan of the club and he encouraged me to go and support Boca and would take me to go and see them play.

FIRST PAIR OF FOOTBALL BOOTS: My grandad bought

me my first pair of boots which were Mitre and they had 12 interchangeable studs, very odd boots, I don't think they make them anymore.

FIRST FOOTBALL MATCH: It was Boca Juniors and I think it was against my old club Platense. My grandad took me to the game when I was nine years old and straight from that moment I became a football fan.

FIRST PURCHASE WITH FIRST PAY PACKET: My first profressional pay packet

was with Dundee and I used the money to put a deposit down for my flat there.

FIRST IDOL: It would have had to have been Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya the goalkeeper playing for Boca Juniors at that time. I thought he was a great keeper and he was one of the goalkeepers that I looked up to and modelled my game on.

FIRST PROFESSIONAL GOAL: I am still looking for it, I am trying but it is getting more difficult!

my

first Julian Speroni

FIRST TEAM AS A KID: Platense were the team that I played for when I was nine as a kid before going to River Plate's Academy and then when I had finished there I went back to Platense, played for their youth teams and eventually made my debut for the club at the age of 19.

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL: I remember going to my secondary school and being incredibly nervous about what to expect.

FIRST CAR: I had a a Fiat 600, it was a very tiny car. It was very similar to the Fiat 500 which is out now but a little bit more round shaped. In fact I spent more time fixing it than driving it.

Dougie Freedman's permanent managerial reign started against a Swansea side who going into the game had only lost two matches on their own turf in 2010/11.

Freedman made two changes from Coventry a week ago as Wilfried Zaha and Pablo Counago returned to the starting eleven, with Darren Ambrose and Alex Marrow still not fit enough to start.

The first thirty minutes saw some good clinical attacking passing from the home side, but Palace defended well and looked to break when possible. Their best move of that spell saw Zaha beat his man down the right and put in a good cross which Steffen Iversen nearly got on the end of but he was thwarted by a clearance from Ashley Williams.

MANAGERS’ COMMENTS_

minutes Speroni saved low down at his left hand post from Dyer and then tipped a shot over the bar from Luke Moore for Swansea's third corner of the match as the hosts upped the pressure.

The breakthrough came soon after as Scott Sinclair escaped down the wing and cut the ball back perfectly for Darren Pratley, the captain firing the ball home from just inside the box for his seventh of the season.

Palace created an early chance in the second half, as Iversen saw another shot well-blocked, but soon found themselves further behind as the Swans won two penalties in five minutes.

First, David Wright was adjudged to have fouled Nathan Dyer and Sinclair stepped up to convert the spot kick, then as Alan

Tate headed on a corner it hit Iversen on the hand and once again the referee pointed to the spot.

Sinclair again made no mistake putting it in the other corner of the net and at 3-0 the game looked over.

Freedman brought on new signing Jermaine Easter who looked bright and immediately combined well with Counago only for his shot to be tipped wide by De Vries.

The Swans' passing game showed why they have such an impressive home record and it was certainly a difficult one for Freedman's reign to begin with, as the two penalties killed the game so early.

The team were supported all the way through by an impressive away following whose volume made itself heard above the home followers and were a credit to the club.

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Captain Paddy McCarthy keeps possession of the ball while being surrounded by Swansea players. Swansea midfielder Joe Allen in pursuit of Pablo Counago with the ball.

Palace had to settle for a point against Bristol City in a poor game bereft of chances.

Darren Ambrose and Ivan Sproule came closest to breaking the deadlock, each hitting the foot of the post for their respective sides, but neither team did enough to win the game.

In his first home match as permanent Palace manager, Dougie Freedman handed a home debut to Jermaine Easter while Alex Marrow and Darren Ambrose returned to the starting line-up.

Palace started the game with some good passing football but no real penetration, and it was Bristol who had the first attempt at goal with Cole Skuse trying his luck from outside the area.

Jermaine Easter then almost broke through, taking advantage of a mistake by Damion Stewart, but was PICTURES: Neil Everitt

MANAGERS’ COMMENTS_

well-tackled by Louis Carey just as he went to pull the trigger.

Marrow's inexperience at rightback nearly cost Palace when Jamal Campbell-Ryce was allowed to break the offside trap, the Jamaican crossing well and Nathaniel Clyne doing brilliantly to put Brett Pitman under pressure when he looked well-placed to score. The formerBlackburn youngster then made amends with an excellent sliding stop as Pitman broke through.

Easter continued to look bright and minutes later David James saved well from the debutant's snapshot, while at the other end Pitman continued to threaten and drove just wide from distance on 40 minutes.

Ten minutes into the second half, Clyne broke down the lefthand side and slid a ball to Darren Ambrose on the edge of the box.

Palace's top scorer last season took

one touch before hitting a low drive that ricocheted of the foot of the post and wide.

With thirty minutes left Iversen replaced Counago and soon had James back-pedaling to chip over a clever cross-cum-shot from a narrow angle. Ivan Sproule then came on for City as Keith Millen opted for pace to turn the game in the Robins' favour.

Sproule proved the danger man, breaking down the right and unleashing a low drive that hit the bottom of the post with the rebound well-blocked by Paddy McCarthy.

Marvin Elliott then almost won the game for Bristol on the break but from Albert Adomah's cut back he fired wide.

A draw though was probably a fair result with Palace pleased to record their fifth consecutive clean sheet at home.

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Bristol's Albert Adomah tries to block Darren Ambrose's shot. Anthony Gardner had to play the last few minutes of the game with a head bandage after a clash of heads with an opponent. Jermanie Easter made his first home appearance. Wilfried Zaha beats Bristol's Jamal Campbell-Ryce to an aerial ball.

WWW.CPFC.CO.UK This week's Palace Player brought you the first interview with new assistant manager Lennie Lawrence as he gave his thoughts on his new role at the club and subscribers should stay tuned as the transfer window slams shut on Monday with more signings possible at Selhurst.

Player will be the first place with an interview of any new signings.

In a week of firsts, Palace Player was the only place to see Dougie Freedman's first press conference at Selhurst Park as Palace boss, as he spoke about the need to keep clean sheets in order to climb the table.

The academy continues to produce great prospects and we caught up with Academy Manager

Gary Issott who was delighted to hear the news of former pupil Wilfried Zaha's call-up to the England under-19s and gave his view on the progress of the current squad.

On Wednesday, Julian Speroni spoke to Palace Player about the potential stadium move as well as his view of the Bristol game as he built up to his 200th appearance for the Eagles.

With match-highlights, interviews, live match-day commentary and behind the scenes footage, Player really is a must have for the Palace enthusiast.

2015 -

Last week the club announced their intention to move back to their original home at Crystal Palace Park in 2015.

Consultation for the potential project began in July 2010 and conversations have already been had, and are ongoing, with the key partners and stakeholders.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

eturning to the home of the club has been an ambition of many of the previous owners and the development of the Olympic stadium has removed the requirement of Crystal Palace to host major athletics events making a football only stadium a viable option. Co-Chairman Steve Parish said: “We are delighted to put forward our plans to return the club home to where it all began. We believe a stadium at Crystal Palace Park can help create a bright new future for the club as well as helping it to breathe new life into both the sports centre and the park."

Crystal Palace is a unique place, one of the highest points in London, a point where five South London boroughs collide and the original home of the club. It also holds a special place in English football, hosting the first cup finals and early England Internationals. The plan is to provide a 40,000 seater stadium, a new indoor aquatic centre, a reconfigured indoor sports complex and a new community athletics facility.

The combination of these facilities will breathe new life into the National Sports Centre and the park by removing the requirement for the pool inside the current listed structure, greatly reduce the running costs and allow for the current space to be reutilised for an even wider range of community and elite athletic sports.

The Crystal Palace was the first ground the club played at after being formed by workers of the glass building in 1904.

Southampton reserves was the clubs first match at the ground.

The last was against Reading on 16th February 1915. Four days later the Crystal Palace was closed for use as a Naval training base due to World War One.

42_Eagles _MALCOLM ALLISON 42 Fly Home Parish said: “At the moment it is a run down site and is a hugely under utilised stadium – it gets used once or twice a year for a major event. The idea is to make it a landmark. This plan helps everyone because it brings more people to the area and that's a positive thing.

"I think they (residents) will get a much better park. Obviously, they are going to have more people so local business will do very well out of it. I don't think it will be that disruptive to anybody else, they will get a better park and a better environment all round. I would say that though so let's listen to their objections and see what we can do for them.

“I've always wanted to take the club to Crystal Palace Park, I think that's a lifetime's ambition for me. It's the home of the club and the most obvious place for it to be. I have trouble seeing why anybody else can't see it's the most obvious place for it to be."

Planning will be sought for a full 40,000 seater capacity stadium, although the new project may begin life with a reduced 25,000 capacity stadium. Phase one, a 25,000 stadium plus the aquatic centre is expected to cost around £50m with the extended plan likely to have a budget closer to £75m. The principal funding for the project will arise from the sale and redevelopment of Selhurst Park as well as from the naming rights to the new stadium.

With the future use of the Olympic stadium yet to be decided, (a decision was initially expected on Friday but the Olympic Park Legacy Company delayed their decision until March) Tottenham's bid, if successful would mean a re-think as they have pledged to redevelop Crystal Palace themselves as an athletics facility.

However, the plans already have the backing of a number of key players and consultation is well under way.

- Ed Warner, Chairman of UK Athletics said: "On the proviso that the Olympic Stadium retains its athletics track and any redevelopment of Crystal Palace maintains a community athletics facility on or nearby the park we would be supportive of the plans of Crystal Palace Football Club."

Commissioner for Sport and Labour Member of Parliament said: "It is encouraging to see people coming forward with positive, innovative solutions for the future of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace FC has been at the heart of that community for well over 100 years and I know they have been working hard to secure the support of all the key local stakeholders.

I welcome their interest in the site and look forward to seeing more detail on what they have to offer to the local community and to London as a whole.�

- Stephen Carr, the leader of Bromley Council said: "Crystal Palace Football Club have spoken to us and we are interested in their proposal to relocate the club to Crystal Palace Park. These are potentially exciting times for Crystal Palace Park and of course, we would need to look very carefully at the merits of any proposal. These fresh visionary ideas are welcome and ultimately, we want to improve the park and wider area and any viable plan to improve the park could have a positive impact on the locality and secure a brighter future. Of course, we will consider all proposals on their merits and they would be subject to the planning permission in the usual way."

Over the coming months the plan is to widen the consultation to include fans, resident groups and the local community, as well as working with the LDA and Bromley Council with the intention of reducing running costs and making the plan a reality.

All of this work is being done with a view to making a full planning application in the first quarter of 2012.

The LDA is the Regional Development Agency for Greater London whose purpose is to drive sustainable economic growth within the capital. They currently own the property lease from Bromley Council.

well with the wind blowing in our faces and keeping a high line then a lot of the play will go through to our goalkeeper or doesn’t drop in dangerous areas because with the wind blowing in our faces 30 yards from your goal is a dangerous area.

We had a bit of success in doing that, we weathered some pressure and we looked like we had done enough to earn a well-earned point away from home but just a lack of concentration by Ryan Innis allowed them to score with no time for us to recover really.

The lads worked really hard in the game and we came so close to getting what I would have said was a good point away from home in the conditions.

However, it was a good learning curve for them as they know that a lack of concentration can cost you, especially in the penalty box.

IPSWICH 1 Maduako

CRYSTAL PALACE 0 After playing Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup we had a good week of training and travelled up to play Ipswich and we did quite well. We got beat on the day but despite that there were some good performances from the players and the result only really came about at the end of the game when in the last five minutes they scored from a set-piece.

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

The game started off like a typical January one with the wind blowing towards one goal on a really open training ground. We attacked with the wind in the first half and obviously with that we had a good percentage of the play.

Our first real chance came when Kyle De Silva hit the post and Gussimo Sow had a real good chance when we broke down the left, the ball got squared back to Sow whose shot from six yards hit the keeper’s legs.

We dominated the first half with the blustery conditions on our side and we knew that in the second half we would be in for a battle when we were against the wind.

At half-time we were disappointed that we had not broken the deadlock but we knew that if we could defend

SATURDAY 22ND JANUARY 2011 FA PREMIER ACADEMY LEAGUE BECKENHAM TRAINING GROUND REFEREE: MR G KANE

CRYSTAL PALACE 1 Wynter

SOUTHAMPTON 4 Hoskins (2), Foot, Chambers

The following week we hosted Southampton at the Beckenham training ground and probably for the first time this season we let ourselves down.

In all fairness Southampton came here and probably showed a bit more desire and spirit which was the most disappointing thing for us.

The game started quite frenetically and to be fair we started well but in the 20th minute we conceded what we felt was a poor goal. Then more disappointing was the second goal, where the marking was the wrong side of the centre half and we found ourselves two behind inside 25 minutes. It was always going to be a tough fixture and we gave ourselves a mountain to climb.

At half-time we changed the shape of the team and changed one or two personnel because we felt we just had to go for the game and I was quite enthused

with the way we started but within 10 minutes Southampton made it three when they scored from a spot kick, a decision that we felt was quite harsh at the time.

That goal effectively killed us stone dead and the disappoitning thing was we made the changes at half-time but we did not get the chance to have a real go at them.

Southampton grabbed a fourth soon after and then we got one back from Alex Wynter near the end but on the day it was just one of those games you have in a season where things for one reason or another don’t really click within the team. In all fairness to the players we did keep on going, kept chasing, creating chances and if anything we can take the positives from the spirit we showed at the end of the game which was missing at the start.

For the younger players playing it could have been easy for them to pack up and lose by five, six or seven but I never feared that with my players and they did not allow that to happen.

By the time you read this programme we will have played Portsmouth down at their training ground. It is always a hard game down there and with the time of year it will be a boggy pitch but the lads will be looking to get back to winning ways after two league defeats in succession.

Whilst looking for additional sponsorship for the Academy can we please say a very special thank you to our current Academy sponsors; Texaco, Vice Presidents, & Golden Eagles. All of their support is critical in assisting us in our continuing push to achieve excellence in everything we do.

CRYSTAL PALACE 3 Ingram (2), Galea

NORWICH CITY 2 On paper this fixture should have proved to be a relatively simple matter of three points to the visiting Canaries.

However, form as they say, is only temporary; and right now the Eagles are showing signs of some form. Buoyed by recent cup successes, Palace Ladies went into this fixture knowing that three points would be crucial to kick-start their league season, but still, they were the underdogs.

Norwich started the game with fluent passing amongst the midfield, and Palace were happy to harass their opponents by quickly closing down space. Then on seven minutes the game exploded into life when left-winger SHIRT SPONSORS:

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

Abigail Ingram cut inside to pick up a loose ball in the middle third and unleashed a thunderbolt from 20 yards that left the Canaries keeper stranded.

With confidence on high the Eagles continued to move forward and take the game to Norwich, and on 13 minutes Sherelle Walters’ pace was too much for the Canaries defence and she was brought down in the box. Ingram stepped forward and placed the penalty neatly in the net sending the keeper the wrong way, to give the Ladies a 2-0 lead.

On 16 minutes Lucy Galea made it a roaring 3-0 with a fine strike, that sent the Eagles on their way to upsetting the form guide. Visibly shocked by the start, the Canaries started to collect themselves and look for a way back into the game, and on 31 minutes they scored a well-crafted goal. The game continued to ebb and flow with each team, battling hard for possession, and Sam Sharp twice making good saves to keep the Canaries out as they started to exert more pressure.

On the 78th minute the pressure proved too much as Norwich scored a second, but on 85 minutes the visitors were reduced to 10 players following a red card for dissent (second bookable offence). This proved to be enough, as Palace held on under some pressure, to secure their first league win of the season.

FOOTBALL LEAGUE PAPER_

WHEN YOU THINK OF EXPENSIVE PLAYERS IT’S FAIR TO SAY THAT SHEFFIELD UNITED’S NEW STRIKER MARCUS BENT ISN’T THE FIRST NAME THAT COMES TO MIND. YET ASTONISHINGLY, THE 32 YEAR OLD HAS MOVED FOR A COMBINED TOTAL OF £10,025,000M DOWN THE YEARS. By Chris Dunlavy

There was a £2.1m move to Blackburn in 2000, a £3m switch to Ipswich a year later, a £2.5m transfer to Charlton from Everton and another £1m when he joined Birmingham in 2008.

And that’s not to mention the four six-figure sums in his early days with Palace, Port Vale and Brentford.

But while Bent is certainly one of the most expensive players in the Championship, he is only fourth in the list when it comes to total transfer fees.

[1] Craig Bellamy - Cardiff City £45million

[2] Yakubu – Leicester City £18.75million

By far and away the most expensive player in the Football League is, unsurprisingly, Cardiff’s loan star Craig Bellamy. Now 31, the enfant terrible of Welsh football has racked up an astonishing £45m in fees, putting him fifth on English football’s all-time list, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo, Nicolas Anelka, Darren Bent and Robbie Keane.

And, in fairness to Bellamy, there’s a reason people keep stumping up the cash. While he has never quite managed double figures in appearances for any of his nine clubs, his strike rate of 118 goals in 318 games is up there with the best.

Another who never hangs around too long, Yakubu’s tally comes courtesy of two mega-moves in the space of two years. Signed by Portsmouth from Maccabi Haifa in 2003, his immense power and cool finishing brought 29 goals in 65 games, prompting a £7.5m move to Middlesbrough. Another 25 in 67 games (many of them trademark penalties) saw Everton – perennially desperate for a striker – pay an over-theodds £11.25m in 2007. Another 25 in 56 games followed, giving Yakubu a none too shabby overall record of 88 in 201.

Nevertheless, with Jermaine Beckford now on the books, Yakubu has been shipped out to Leicester, who may well swell his price further.

Moves: Norwich to Coventry: £6.5m, Coventry to Newcastle: £6m, Newcastle to Blackburn: £5m, Blackburn to Liverpool: £6m, Liverpool to West Ham: £7.5m, West Ham to Manchester City: £14m WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

Moves: Maccabi Haifa to Portsmouth: free, Portsmouth to M’Boro: £7.5m, M’Boro to Everton: £11.25m

[3] Rob Earnshaw – Nottm Forest £12.65million Quite simply, Earnshaw is a goal machine. His record of 188 goals from 410 games is even better when you consider that 100 of those appearances were as a substitute. And he is famously the only man to score a hat-trick at every level of English football, the FA Cup, the League Cup and at international level. While he never quite cut it in the Premier League, one top flight season with West Brom yielded a respectable 14 goals and at Championship level he is beyond compare – as Derby found when they fell victim to a clinical strike last week.

CELEBRITY EAGLES_

EACH HOME GAME WE TAKE YOU TO THE WORLD OF TV, STAGE, RADIO OR BIG SCREEN TO MEET A PALACE FAN YOU WILL KNOW WELL!

CELEBRITY Lizzie GreenwoodHughes The Football League Show How did you become to support Crystal Palace? I was born and brought up in Beckenham and Crystal Palace were my local club. When I was about six or seven some family friends of our Uncle Johnny took me to see the game as he knew one of the stewards Reg Cousins and I can’t remember who we played but I have got the programme somewhere. I got it signed by Jim Cannon and they also read out my name at half-time saying “Please welcome Elizabeth Greenwood to Selhurst ”. And that was it I was a Palace fan.

First Palace match? Well I was very young but I remember being so excited about having my name read out at half-time. I was in the Arthur Wait stand, I was literally six or seven and it was my first ever fotball match and it was great.

Most memorable game? It has got to be the 1990 FA Cup Final, the first game I watched on television and when the replay was on I had to work at Sainsbury’s in Beckenham, on the Deli Stand and we had a radio on, even though we were not meant to and I was giving customers updates as I served them and I was gutted that I could not watch the game but I will remember that day forever.

Favourite Palace Player of all time and why? Probably Julian

EAGLES Speroni, I will always love David Hopkins for that goal that got us promoted but I suppose Speroni really for being such an awesome goalkeeper over the years and if it was not for him last season it would have been an even bigger battle to stay up.

One player you would like to sign if money was no object?

It would have to be a defender at the moment (laughs). I am not the sort of the person who would come up with someone realistic. Although I would like Andy Johnson, I would also like to see us sign a defender.

What is your pre-match day routine (working and non working routine): When I used to live in Beckenham I would make a packed lunch and a flask of coffee and put it in a rucksack and walk from Beckenham to Selhurst Park and I used to like that.

Now that I don’t live in Beckenham I really only come to the games if I am working or I am too far away anyway so my routine is to check any last minute news on the internet at home before I leave. Then there is a lovely guy called Steve who always lets me park in the Sainsbury’s car park section so then I go to Sainsbury’s, get a sandwich and a local paper and get into the ground. Not much of a routine really.

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

Worst Palace moment? There have been far too many. The last game of the season was quite scary but it was probably when we lost the replay in the FA Cup. Where were you for the last game of last season when we played Sheffield Wednesday?

I was working for Radio 5 live at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire and my hus-

band gave me live commentary down the phone of the last 10 minutes. I had Radio 5 on when I could but as I was working it was quite difficult so I had the last ten minutes. I was in the car and I was cheering so loudly and I drove past Princess Anne and she smiled at me, I dont think she knew what I was cheering and going mad about so she just smiled at me.

CARDIFF CITY

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

Striker Michael Chopra believes he is getting back to his best again after a season disrupted by injury and poor form for the promotion hopefuls.

Chopra netted in the win over Watford at the weekend, his eighth of the campaign and his third in his last five games.

“It was disappointing for me at the start of the season,” said Chopra, “I picked up the injury against Doncaster and it meant I didn’t get the chance to play for the best part of two months.

“I was pleased to chip in with a goal against Watford on Saturday and I feel like I’m back in good form now and doing what I enjoy, scoring goals.”

He is now setting his sights on getting back to the Premier League, where he played earlier in his career with Newcastle and Sunderland.

Corry Evans is earning a reputation as a super-sub, as Reading found out when they played Hull City at the Madejski Stadium last weekend.

Evans, who is on loan from Manchester United, was introduced off the bench at half-time for his debut and opened the scoring six minutes later in the 1-1 draw.

It came after his first competitive appearance for Northern Ireland, when he scored the winner with his first touch after coming on against Slovenia in a European Championship qualifier.

“It’s always great to score on your debut and I’ll enjoy that one,” he said, “The Northern Ireland goal was a pretty similar scenario. I managed to sneak in at the back post and that was my first touch. That was a great result for us there.

AROUND THE GROUNDS_

Any hopes of Premier League clubs signing Ipswich youngster Connor Wickham in the January transfer window were dashed when the teenager signed a new contract to stay at Ipswich.

The 17-year-old striker, who has been tipped as an England star of the future, has been watched by top-flight scouts but agreed a new deal to stay at Portman Road until 2013.

“I’ve been here since I was 12 years old and feel I’m at the right club to progress as a player.”

“I’m enjoying my football at Ipswich Town and am looking forward to the future here and playing my part in helping the club reach the Premier League.”

Boss Paul Jewell added: “Connor is a terrific prospect although we have to remember he’s still only 17”.

Players and fans were left in the dark at Fratton Park over the weekend when there were power cuts in the Portsmouth area during the clash against Leeds United.

The floodlights went out in the first half of the 2-2 draw but it was bright enough to carry on, then referee Anthony Taylor had to suspend the game twice in the second half when it happened again.

It was frustrating for Pompey as winger John Utaka was through on goal when the first stoppage was needed. David Nugent took it upon himself to entertain the puzzled fans during the break before play got under way again.

He said: “I was trying to keep the fans entertained during the break, a bit of a one-man show trying to put the ball in the net to give them something to cheer.

“It was just a bit of fun before the lights came back on.”

It is not often that players from the Championship get compared to Real Madrid’s Galacticos but former Palace boss Neil Warnock believes Adel Taarabt’s goal and assist against Coventry was fit to grace the Bernabeu.

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Taarabt said last season he wanted to play for the Spanish giants eventually. He was mocked at the time for his comments but Warnock believes in the Moroccan playmaker.

“Adel thinks he should be playing for Real Madrid. His agent was telling him in the summer that Real Madrid and Sevilla were coming in for him. He was in cuckoo land,” Warnock said.

“He could play for them but first of all he has to help me finish my career off in the right way.”

_ON THE ROAD

WATFORD vs CRYSTAL PALACE TUESDAY 1ST FEBRUARY 2011 KO: 7:45PM NPOWER CHAMPIONSHIP

ON THE ROAD STADIUM: Vicarage Road ADDRESS: Vicarage Road Stadium, Vicarage Road, Watford, WD18 0ER TELEPHONE: 0845 442 1881 GETTING THERE:

By Car:- Join the M25 and head north past M4/ Heathrow. Take the exit at Jct 18. The slip road goes up to a bridge going across the motorway, turn left towards Rickmansworth. Head down into Rickmansworth until you arrive at a large roundabout near Rickmansworth station.

Turn left here along the A412 towards Watford.

With a glut of home games on three successive Saturdays, Palace’s only away game during this period is the short trip to Vicarage Road to face a resurgent Watford on Tuesday.

The Hornets are currently buzzing high in the league in seventh place, having put a very impressive recent run of results together under manager Malky Mackay. The side hadn’t lost a league match since midNovember, and indeed had won six games in a row beating the likes of QPR, Leicester, Cardiff, and Derby, averaging three goals a game, before succumbing to Cardiff in an entertaining 4-2 defeat last weekend.

Forward Danny Graham is again leading the club’s scoring charts; after 14 goals last season the former Carlisle front man has already surpassed that total with 18 goals so far with nine from his last eight matches. With teenage striker Marvin Sordell also weighing in with thirteen CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

goals so far, including a well taken strike at Cardiff, the Hornets are clearly a team on the up.

Given recent results, the manager has also being linked with a move away from Vicarage Road but he has been quick to dispel any thoughts of this, saying, “Every aim and goal I’ve got at the minute is to get as many points on the board as quickly as possible. The target is still 52 points and that’s what everyone’s working towards.”

Games between the Eagles and the Hornets are rarely dull, with two of the last three encounters at Vicarage Road ending in the points returning to SE25. Last season’s 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Stern John, Sean Scannell, and Neil Danns will be most remembered for the fantastic atmosphere generated in the away end, and with this game similarly under floodlights it is sure to be another cracking match this time around. By Chris Waters

Follow signs into Croxley Green. Continue straight over at the two roundabouts past Croxley, then take the fifth right exit on to Harwood Road. Continue straight down, heading straight over the traffic lights, until you come to the end of the road. At the end turn left and you will now be on Vicarage Road, continue for a few hundred metres and you will see the ground on your right hand side.

By Train:- There are three different routes that can be taken to get to Watford Junction. To find out which one will suit your journey, you can check the timetables by visiting the National Rail website on www.nationarail.co.uk From the Station:- Leave the station and take the main road straight opposite (Clarendon Road) all the way over the ring road at the lights and up to the high street. Turn left and go past the Wetherspoons on your right and then take the first right after 100 yards into Market Street. Continue along again crossing the ring road to T-junction and then left at the chip shop. Vicarage Road is the next right turn.

CELEBRATION OF ACHIEVEMENT

Due to the adverse weather conditions before Christmas our termly celebration event had to be cancelled. However, on Thursday 6th January the Football Club generously hosted the re-scheduled Celebration of Achievement in the Glaziers’ lounge. We always appreciate the club’s commitment and support in helping us recognize and reward our pupils’ achievements, Dougie organized two players, Jack Holland and Matt Parsons to hand out the certificates and prizes. These two young men were brilliant with the young people, giving them a great deal of encouragement each

time certificates were handed out; eagerly acknowledging individuals’ personal achievements; being enthusiastic and positive during group photographs and then spending time giving autographs at the end of the evening. As ever our delightful and dedicated players helped make the evening a success for all in attendance, for which we are always grateful and proud that we all work together at Crystal Palace F.C. for the good of our local community.

FUTURE GUESTS

I keep saying how privileged we are to have our learning zone here at Selhurst Park, you may think this is becoming a little diluted. However, perhaps you do not realise that Crystal Palace F.C. were one of the very first football clubs to welcome a Study Support Centre into their stadium, we are one of the original five over the last 13 years this has grown to 162, such a shame that with the Government cuts many of these will disappear. Please do not worry people of Croydon your football club’s owners have promised we will always have a home for the learning zone at Crystal Palace F.C. within the Stadium. The entire staff team of Crystal Palace F.C. frequently volunteer their services to enhance our educational programmes, from Chief Executive, Marketing Director, Coaches, to players old and new. In fact friends of our owners have contacted me to ask how they can help in our various sessions too.

With this strength and skills set behind us we will continue to develop, extend and provide a multitude of motivational educational and training programmes for our local communities.

We are continually looking for new partners to assist us in our venture, please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel you have the ability to lend your assistance in any form, whether it be funding, sponsorship or volunteering your time, please use the contact details below.

Enjoy the game, come on you Eagles.

Susan Biggs, Centre Manager office@crystalpalacefcstudycentre.org

PROGRAMMES RUNNING AT THE STUDY CENTRE At the moment we are working with John Ruskin College to deliver an inspirational and motivational course for a small group of students who have found mainstream education too much of a challenge. They have the privilege of attending a wide range of learning opportunities beyond the class room to assist them in taking more responsibility for their own understanding of the importance of life-long learning. We have planned a varied programme, which should help and support these young people in preparing themselves for the world of work. Our very good friends the DJ team-Dance Aid Academy, who now trade under the name of One Life providing motivational multi media courses for young people, are supporting us in this programme. We have also invited a plethora of our friends along to provide a range of presentations and workshops for these young people. The first guest arrived last Monday, our very own Communications Manager, Terry Byfield, who spoke to the group about how to produce Match Day programmes-we really appreciate Terry giving up his valuable time, especially as we have three home matches on the bounce, so he is extremely busy. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking Terry and his team for all the support they give to us here in the learning centre at Selhurst Park. I hope these young people listened closely as they will be creating their very own articles, which will appear in this programme over the next few weeks-watch this space!

Trevor Hayes on the managerial changes here at Selhurst.

Good afternoon to all you Palace fans out there who maybe, like me, were looking forward to sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the season ahead after the rollercoaster that was last season and to be honest, virtually every season bar a couple, that I have ever known being a Palace fan. Not a chance! Sitting in the bottom three brings it’s own pressures but with only a January transfer window to turn things around, our new manager Dougie, couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge to start his managerial career but then again, I can’t help feeling that his magical touch could rub off once more.

Having witnessed the 95th minute give away at Ashton Gate, closely followed by the disappointing display against Millwall over the Christmas period, the writing was on the wall for George Burley, despite having my full support pretty much up until then.

palace radio Something had to be done. Although a little surprised, I raised a glass to the appointment of Dougie and now subsequently his assistant Lennie Lawrence. I have known Lennie since I was an apprentice at Charlton many years ago (yes, head held in shame) as he was my coach.

I hope that we manage to bring in some new faces before the deadline but I know that this is proving to be no easy task. Bidding for players such as Jack Cork and James Vaughan shows our intent but the reality of the situation may be somewhat different. In our position we need to bring in hungry players from a league or two below, who want to come here and are desperate for the opportunity. Whether the above mentioned players fit in to this category we’ll have to wait and see. I am hoping that the Doug has something up his sleeve, similar to the sleeve used by David Hopkin in that magical assist against Stockport, when yet another miracle was achieved.

_INTERVIEW

Having managed over 1000 games during his career, Lennie Lawrence ticked all the right boxes when Dougie Freedman emphasised his desire to appoint an experienced number two. In today’s matchday programme Lennie talks about how the move came about and his hopes for the future. words: Chris Poynton

before, where there is a young manager making his way who has got enormous potential which Dougie has. I did it with Paul Trollope at Bristol Rovers, all be it a division below down in League One, but it worked very successfully there and hopefully it can work again here.

How do you think Dougie came to make the appointment? Dougie would

ello Lennie thanks for taking the time to speak to the club’s official programme. You were announced as the new assistant manager ahead of our game against Bristol City last week. You must be delighted to have joined the club? I am absolutely

delighted to be here. It all happened very quickly upon Dougie’s appointment and I spoke to him, Steve Parish and Phil Alexander the Chief Executive about the role and we all agreed on what was needed and I am now just focussing on the job in hand.

Dougie mentioned in his first press conference that he would be looking to appoint an experienced number two, and considering you have managed over a 1000 league games in your own right, you more than meet that criteria. I have been a manager in

my own right for 23 years but the other crucial thing is I have been in this role CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

have spoken to a lot of people about me and I am sure the club would have done as well. He would have goodness knows how many managers and coaches who will have wanted to have been his assistant and so out of all that, he listens to the advice and has taken it from there.

He has decided that I would be the right type for him and please god may that be correct.

BELOW: Lennie has managed the following clubs.

1978 1982 1991 1994 1995 2000 2002 2006 2010 2011

Considering your experience, how much are you going to help ‘The Legend’ to develop as a manager?

I think that when you have been as good a player as he has and as you say a legend at the club you gain respect from the players and the fans because of who you are. We need to build on that, take advantage of that, the goodwill and patience that people will have with somebody like him. I have got to steer him, stop him making mistakes before he makes them and just generally mentor him and act as assistant manager.

This is a role that I am comfortable with, not all older and experienced people can do that but I am WWW.CPFC.CO.UK

comfortable with it and Dougie saw that I would be the right person for it and so far so good.

We currently reside in the bottom three in the Championship and it is going to be a long hard season from here on in. Since joining the club I have

seen from within the squad there is more than enough ability to climb the league and you have not got to be Einstein to work out that we have conceded too many goals and we have lost far too many games in the last 10 minutes of those fixtures.

We look like we can score goals as there are some enormously talented players at the front-end, in fact there are talented players in all the positions. It is just tweaking the organisation, getting people in the right holes, conceding less goals obviously and just not surrendering points in the latter stages of the games.

You said you have seen a few sessions of the players training and playing, are there any improvements that you have already talked about implementing with Dougie? Of course

there have been certain things that we have talked about. The squad does need greater numbers and there are lots of eyecatching players, some experienced heads and with people like Darren Ambrose coming back it is a healthy team. It may just lack a bit of depth to cope with injuries, a few tweaks here and there and it would not be difficult to go from where we are

WWW.TWITTER.COM/OFFICIAL_CPFC

to half-way. I am asking for trouble in saying that but it is not impossible but if we don’t do it right then we won’t go anywhere.

There are a lot of young players within the squad, have you been impressed with them? I have been impressed with

the number of young players around the club and you have got to give them a chance. Even if you are in a situation that we are in I have found in my life that young players rarely let you down.

You have to learn when to put them in and when to take them out and what to expect but sometimes they don’t have any fear. They just want to go out there and do their thing and prove themselves.

I have used young players in relegation battles at many clubs in my career and rarely been let down.

We are not necessarily in a relegation battle yet as if we can win a couple of games on the trot then we will be out of it but I would have no qualms in putting younger players in. Of course this club has got a history of producing talented young players and I am sure we will continue to do it.

It is also a return for you to a ground that you know all so well? I knew that

question was coming. I was here in the 80’s with Charlton but that was a long time ago and the Charlton experience was a wonderful one and it was great at the time but I left there 20 years ago nearly and I am a professional, I am not a supporter and will be doing everything possible for the benefit of Crystal Palace and Dougie.

_VIEW FROM THE UPPER

Alex Warner OUR POPULAR CONTRIBUTOR WRITES HIS LATEST VIEWS ON PALACE DIRECT FROM HIS SEAT IN THE UPPER TIER OF THE HOLMESDALE ROAD STAND.

What a disgracefully boring year 2011 is shaping up to be! On Day 1, our manager is dismissed, then there’s the most frenzied speculation as to who is taking over with everyone from Steve Coppell to Vera Lynn rumoured for the hotseat.

Normality (if there is such thing in SE25) resumes with the appointment of a legend and just as we calm down by chewing the fat ensemble with the Chairman over the internet, a Press Conference is launched to announce plans to re-locate. Stalwart season ticket holder, Brian, who sits in front of me and is always a good barometer of fluctuating mood swings in the stands, cut straight to the heart of the matter the moment we met on Saturday – “it’s great news, we’re going home to Crystal Palace, as we’ll still be able to go to the cafe pre-match in South Norwood and work out the formations with the salt and pepper pots – it’s only one stop on the train to the new ground”. The voice of reason, as ever, during the latest drama to engulf the soap opera that is CPFC. When it was mentioned that Dougie would be acquiring some old heads around him as part of his management team, few, if any, had Lennie Lawrence in mind. That’s not because we didn’t think Lennie could contribute, it’s just that he’d slipped off our radar over the past few years. When I discovered that Neil Warnock nicknamed Matt Lawrence “Lennie”, I wondered whether our former defender or his team mates had even heard of the ex Charlton manager – it being CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

so long since he’d seemingly been in the spotlight! Typical Lennie that his appointment was reduced to small print due to it coinciding with our plans to leave Selhurst, though it’s a good reflection on the rational capacity of Palace fans that his arrival was very positively received, without any of the puerile prejudices that supporters sometimes have believed to be just a rumour – Co-Chairman Martin Long’s about someone so firmly associated with a rival team. As a teenager daughter is called Crystal Alice. What a truly magnificent name when Palace were hanging onto Charlton’s coat-tails as they rose and well done Martin for persuading your wife to agree to this, into the top flight and the Eagles v Addicks banter at school in where countless others, including myself (twice) have failed! My Chislehurst was often combustible, it was only right to be seen to negotiation skills succeeded only in calling the cat Selhurst and hate Lennie, though away from playground bravado we all secretly the rabbit Crystal. Martin, I salute you. admired him. Affable like his Palace counterpart, Steve Coppell, It’s important that as many Palace fans as possible get sent to Lawrence was hugely respected because of his monumental Coventry on 12 February. Commit a domestic misdemeanour that achievement in getting penniless Charlton promoted during enables you to be sent out of the house in disgrace to join in the frivolity a season in which they’d uprooted to Selhurst. Never forget, that is the inaugural “Palace on Tour Day”. As mentioned in last week’s this was truly a foray into the unknown - the first groundprogramme, around 1.2m Palace fans are going to make the trip to our sharing experience in English football and it was full of away fixture, on a mission to celebrate the frolicking camaraderie and trauma and uncertainty for Charlton and to an extent craziness that is supporting Crystal Palace F.C. Never mind the fact that Palace with both sets of fans fearing a merger of some The Ricoh Arena only holds 32,609, there always seems to be swathes of description. A year later with Charlton struggling to stay empty light blue seats when Coventry are featured on the highlights and I’m up, I recall standing on the away terrace at Plough Lane sure the rooftops can be perched upon to steal a view. Sky Blues’ officialdom (don’t ask me why) watching them lose to Wimbledon must be both delighted and bemused by what we are planning. and some fans chanting “Lawrence out” – it amazed Talking of fans, fair play to the Holmesdale Fanatics for their fantastic me how ungrateful and small-minded supporters banners - last week’s montage of Dougie, in particular, was stunning. It always could be, but then again, these were probably the amazes me how quickly these displays are produced, so much hard work must same short-sighted cretins who wished that Alan go into it and the club are fortunate to have such a passionate band of supporters Curbishley’s reign should come to a premature determined to enliven the Selhurst experience. Well done also to the Arthur Wait end, yet would have given anything to have him Massive for their best performance of the season on Saturday – that definitely was back fairly recently. Lennie kept Charlton in the loudest I’ve heard the “we’re the Arthur, we’re the Arthur over here.” The harder the top flight for four seasons then enjoyed the struggle on the pitch, the better the support – it really beggars belief how incredsuccess at Middlesbrough and Cardiff, as well ible the din would be if we actually enjoyed success! Certainly, the atmosphere is far as being a vital, unassuming cog in coaching superior to when we were third in the top flight even! Mind you, let’s not underestimate set-ups at various clubs. He is the perfect our recent achievements - five clean sheets on the trot at Selhurst is pretty impressive choice for us. stuff, after all. Only at Palace would we announce an intention to relocate at a time when Week four, 2011 started placidly our home form has seldom, if ever, been better! Life’s never dull here!

EUROPE

SPAIN

The January transfer window has produced some surprise deals, notably the signing by Italian league leaders A.C. Milan of Dutch midfielder Mark Van Bommel from Bayern Munich for an undisclosed fee.

Van Bommel, now 33, will not do much to reduce the average age of the Milan midfield, which also includes Clarence Seedorf (34) and Gennaro Gattuso (33). But he is likely to be used mostly as injury cover.

In other big deals, European champions Internazionale paid Genoa £10.5m for Italian national team defender Andrea Ranocchia, who will be a straight replacement for Walter Samuel, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season through a knee injury.

Bayern Munich paid Hoffenheim £12.5million for Brazilian defender Luis Gustavo. The deal prompted the resignation of Hoffenheim boss Ralf Rangnick.

However, one player staying put was Ruud Van Nistelrooy. The Dutch striker was set for a shock return move to Real Madrid, on loan from Hamburg, but the Spanish club were reluctant to pay any fee for the 35-year-old.

Every time Barcelona and Real Madrid play each other, the Spanish media describe the game as the ‘match of the century’. But the two teams could end up meeting each other four times in 15 days in April.

The pair are set to meet in the Spanish League on April 17 and could also play each other in the Spanish Cup Final on April 20, as both have reached the Copa Del Rey semi-finals.

In addition, the two could also be drawn against each other in the Champions League quarter-finals or semi-finals.

Football still has some way to go before it becomes established in the USA. A recent poll has found that only four per cent of sports fans consider football to be their favourite sport, up one per cent since 1985.

Professional gridiron football remains America’s most popular sport, with 31 per cent of the poll, followed by baseball on 17 per cent and college gridiron football on 12 per cent.

BRAZIL POLAND Rivaldo is the latest Brazilian star to return home. The former World Cup winner joined Sao Paulo on loan from Mogi Mirim, the lower league Brazilian club where he recently became president after a spell in Uzbekistan.

Rivaldo joins former Brazil teammates Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos in moving back home after spells in Europe.

A former glamour model Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska has taken over as chairwoman of struggling Polish second tier club, Warta Poznan.

The former Playboy model says she will rule the club with ‘an iron fist’ and hopes to see them once again established in Poland’s top division.

‘I want the club to shine again. I believe that the team will play impressively and will attract more fans,’ Lukomska-Pyzalska said. ‘I used to work in a building company, which requires ruling with an iron fist. I will make sure that there is order and discipline at the club’ CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

_REVELATIONS

BELOW: Gorton Football Club in 1884.

CLUB CHAPLAIN CHRIS ROE HAS THE FINAL WORD IN THIS EDITION AS HE GIVES HIS THOUGHTS ON A SUBJECT FROM THE WORLD OF FOOTBALL.

Our new owners’ plans for relocation of the club to the National Sports Centre, returning to the location that we originated from, shows a foresight and vision that is refreshing to see.

They also understand and believe in the importance of having a football club that exists alongside the daily heartbeat of the society that it lives amongst and serves, and are committed to re-establishing Crystal Palace Football Club as an important and integral part of the community.

Within our large and diverse community, there is a large and diverse Church that is not, contrary to some popular belief, sleeping and irrelevant, but is actively involved in serving and positively affecting the society we live in.

CRYSTAL PALACE v NORWICH CITY

For example, 80 per cent of voluntary work undertaken in the borough of Croydon is provided by the Church.

Palace are working closely with the Church in Croydon to achieve their goal of being a relevant force in the community, having already established some excellent links with key leaders in a short space of time.

Showing foresight and vision that is prophetic in nature, Palace are now modelling a pioneering work as we are the first professional football club to be currently working closely with the Church.

The concept of the church being the fulcrum and heartbeat of community life was vividly portrayed in the mid 1800s, when many key facets of society that we now take for granted flowed out of

the Parish church, such as education and healthcare.

Even football was originally birthed out of the womb of the Parish church, at the time as a pro-active response to widespread violence, alcoholism and poverty, particularly amongst young people.

Most of the founder members of the Football League began life as humble church football teams.

In 1879, Arthur Connell became the curate at St. Mark’s church in West Gorton in Manchester, which at the time was suffering from atrocious conditions such as overcrowding, poor sanitation and extreme poverty.

The young men of the area sought refuge in the form of drinking and gang warfare of up to 500 people at a time. Connell’s daughter, Anna, was so grieved by what she saw that she was moved to do something positive to help.

She soon formed the St. Marks church football team, which was renamed a few years later as the Gorton Association Football Club, and then to Ardwick in 1887, having enjoyed incredible success and popularity. We know this same football club today as Manchester City FC. Enjoy the game.

Chris Roe, Club Chaplain.
