About the Author

Like some other supporters of Crystal Palace F.C. it began as a family heirloom. Both Ian King's parents, in their teenage years and before they met, watched Palace in the 1930s.

King's earliest recollection is of the radio being tuned in at 5 o'clock on a Saturday to hear how 'the Palace got on'. His first visit to Selhurst Park, was in 1966, and he has been a season ticket holder continuously since the summer of 1969.

In 1977 he first met Revd Nigel Sands, and since then his interest in the historical aspects of the club have grown. In 1986 Nigel asked him to contribute to the matchday programme, and that has continued to this day.
