Wow - a Hillsborough Hero and a great guy who also wrote a fantastic foreword for my first book. He really went above and beyond in supporting me. Really sad to hear of his troubles but delighted he’s rebuilding his life.

One Crystal Palace fan. One European final. Two impossible journeys.
My new book, The Longest Road to Leipzig, is out this week.
Kindle preorders are live now, paperbacks go on sale Thursday.
It tells the story of my route from Bristol to Stansted to Dublin to Cologne to Bensberg to Dresden to Red Bull Arena, alongside Palace’s unlikely journey to three trophies in just over a year.
Plus Subbuteo, La Bamba, currywurst, cool Polish coach drivers, half-and-half scarves, Michael Olise sticker albums, gefüllte Streuselschnecke – and the story of the lad on the Ultras 05 banner.

Some of the best away days I ever did were at Scunthorpe, Doncaster and Derby County.
None came close to winning the FA Cup but I look back on them as fondly as ones at the big 6.

Yeah I’d rather see my club play in the top flight rather than play Barnsley Norwich etc.

This years holiday read by @PalaceAddict, decent memories being jogged of the torrid 2010 times, from a time before the glorious landslide of them in 25/26. – at Solidaridad, Quintana Roo

This belting book by @howland_james is just as great as his first three! 😎 Keeping me company whilst I have my 8 weekly Crohn’s infusion! Bringing back memories of my own! 🤘
Any updates?

Sorry but Crystal Palace must be the most boring club to Support
Always mid-Table, No relegation scraps, No high flying seasons,Never a decent cup run. Nothing.
#NFFC fans ignore that UEFA were sympathetic to us until their owner tooled up with lawyers. What they don’t seem to understand is that while they were happy with a day out in Porto and being battered by Villa in the weakest ever Europa League, Glasner and Palace wanted to win it
No longer holders but we will forever be Winners with our name etched in silver.
Off to Brentford today without much care for the result. The feelings couldn’t be more different from setting off this time exactly a year ago for a date with destiny!
Today was a terrible match and it was hard to find moments of joy.
However, watching a Bournemouth fan in his brown coat try to give it large and mock the HF for singing at 3-0 down, only to be told to sit down by his grandma was a rare highlight.
Read about my memories from that season when I went to every game as a piss head student in the original Palace Addiction book…
