When I got transferred to the Football Club and played my first game against Chelsea [in August 2021], we lost 3-0. It wasn’t a great day, but there was only one fanbase singing that day, knowing full well what the score was, knowing full well what the result was. Palace were there, supporting each and every one of us from the first minute to the last minute.
That, for me, is a testament to the Football Club, is a testament to the fans and what they’re about. Literally, through thick and thin, they’re there for you – and I think that is an incredible memory that will stick by me for the rest of my life.
Winning the FA Cup, winning the Community Shield… but definitely the FA Cup, I don’t even see it as an achievement for myself. It is exactly what every single fan deserves.
To come to every single game to support this team on the road, at home, no matter the weather, no matter the circumstances… I think every single fan deserves that, and I’m so happy to have been a part of that. I’m so happy that the fans got to experience that, because it’s an unbelievable joy, and they deserve nothing but that.
