English. But Welsh. Irish. Scottish. Londoner. Books, football, cricket, beer, wine, moussaka. But not at one sitting. Necessarily. CPFC ST Holder | DHFC | Dulwich cricket | Surrey cricket | Mediterranean fan, West Norwood dweller....
People under 50, 55 even, barely remember pre shirt sponsorship days. But new Palace kits, itself a modern take on an old kit, is so good - without the logo. NB no Man C fans boring on about their sash was first pls...! #football #footballkits #cpfc #PremierLeague
