About the Author

This is the second book from freelance journalist Neil McSteen, who regularly covers Crystal Palace for the Croydon Guardian and South London Press. His first was Crystal Palace On This Day. Neil is from a family that has supported Palace for three generations, and his first game was watching the Eagles beat Sunderland from the Whitehorse Lane terrace in 1986. Professionally, Neil has had the pleasure of reporting on, amongst others, Palace beating West Ham United in the play-off final, beating Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium and beating Millwall at the New Den. He considers it an honour and a privilege to write about the team he loves.
