Before that, the Eagles endured an eight-year hiatus from the English top-flight and even fended off administration and a near miss with relegation to League One in 2009/10.

However, the South London club enjoyed an incredible run in the 2011/12 campaign, started by former player turned manager Dougie Freedman and finished off by Ian Holloway, who led Palace to the play-offs.

After a memorable 2-0 win over rivals Brighton in the semi-final, Palace edged Watford in the final and a young Wilfried Zaha and a veteran journeyman in Kevin Phillips contributed with the decisive moments.

Palace have returned to Wembley five times since that play-off final win and produced one of the club's most famous victories in history this season, defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
