Our '100 Years of Selhurst Park' centenary season is into its final few home matches – so don't miss the chance to celebrate Selhurst Park's many landmark dates over the last century, by lining up our series of special hand-illustrated collectable programme covers!
Selhurst Park has hosted remarkable characters and unbelievable stories since 1924, with each programme cover this season celebrating a special moment in SE25 history – and duly starring a current member of the squad.
This Saturday's edition, which marks the opening of the Holmesdale Stand in 1995 with an Adam Wharton feature interview, will be no different.
You can see the almost-complete 'timeline' effect above – so make sure to shop if you've missed any of our collectable issues!
We began the season with the opening of the ground itself back in 1924, with Oliver Glasner looking over plans with renowned architect Archibald Leitch as the construction grows behind them.
Dean Henderson was thrust back to 1926 in our second cover, marking England's only international at Selhurst Park as they took on Wales.
Palace's latest No. 9 Eddie Nketiah teamed up with one of our finest, Peter Simpson, back in 1931, while Chris Richards teamed up with an unusual groundskeeping duo, Charlie Catlett and his horse Kate, back in 1935.
Then-loanee Trevoh Chalobah was next to be transported back in time, marking wartime football at Selhurst Park in 1940, with Joel Ward front and centre on our 1945 Remembrance Sunday issue.
Tyrick Mitchell was depicted representing Great Britain in 1948 Olympic Football at Selhurst; Daniel Muñoz was shown playing for Palace in our 1962 showpiece friendly against Real Madrid; and Maxence Lacroix wrapped up warm against the 'Big Freeze' of 1963 in a snowy SE25.
Will Hughes was at forefront of our 1969 celebrations, when Palace won promotion to the top-flight for the first time; Jean-Philippe Mateta kicked off the New Year with a bang, marking 1972's record-breaking 5-0 win over Manchester United; and Justin Devenny took to the pitch to mark Malcolm Allison's arrival in 1973, and our adoption of our famous red and blue, and 'Eagles' nickname.
Then, captain Marc Guéhi was embraced by the record-breaking crowd at Selhurst celebrating our promotion after the 1979 win over Burnley; Jefferson Lerma showcased the range of sports played in SE25, including cricket in 1981; Ben Chilwell attended one of Status Quo's iconic Selhurst gigs in 1984; and Ebere Eze celebrated another promotion in 1989 alongside Wright & Bright – and a certain 'UFO' Easter egg, for those in the know...
