Crystal Palace Football
The South London side with a nickname today of the Eagles, were founded in 1861 by staff working at the Great Exhibition in Paxtons Crystal Palace, they became the first team in the history of the game to play at an indoor stadium. There were no fears for the state of the pitch as the clear glass structure let natural light in to allow the grass to grow well.
The building did have its problems though and the regular breaking of glass from wayward shots meant the players had to develop skills in repairing them, which in turn earned them the nickname of "the Glaziers". Crystal Palace wear home shirts comprising red and blue stripes and play their home games at Selhurst Park, South Norwood, London.
Palace will always struggle to compete against its larger more financially supported London rivals, but has a reputation for never say die survival.
Crystal Palace received £8,600,000 a club record from Everton for Andy Johnson in June 2006.
