Crystal Palace
1905 saw the founding of Crystal Palace Football Club. The club's name comes from the fact that it started out playing at the site of the famous Crystal Palace Exhibition building. They continued to play there until 1915. In 1924, Crystal Palace moved into its current home at Selhurst Park in South London. At the start, Crystal Palace began playing football in the Southern League. It was not until 1920 that they joined the English Football League. Joining the newly formed Third Division, they became its first League champion.

Since their formation, Crystal Palace has seen both good and bad times in their playing fortunes. Having played in each of the Football League's various divisions, it was in 1990 – 1991 that Crystal Palace had their best season when they challenged for the league title. It saw them end the season in third place in the top division. For Crystal Palace, this remains their highest position in the league to date. In 2013 the club gained promotion back into the Premier League where they currently remain.

In their long history, Crystal Palace has seen some success. Their most recent was in 2016 when they were runner-up to Manchester United in the FA Cup final. This was with their current manager, Alan Pardew who became manager at the beginning of 2015.
