The ultimate underdog story. From the looming threat of liquidation, a points deduction and a relegation fight to avoid plummeting to English football's third division in 2010 – to the prospect of promotion to the biggest league in the world three years later, this is the extraordinary tale of a football club saved by its fans.
With Crystal Palace deducted 10 points and on the brink of going out of business forever, four fans battle to strike a deal that will save the club they've supported since childhood.
Rookie manager Dougie Freedman adds to his band of misfits. The frontline finally clicks, Wilfried Zaha is on fire…what could possibly go wrong?
Ian Holloway comes bounding in the door. Even with promotion-winning pedigree, taking over a winning team is a tough job. Especially when Manchester United come calling for your best player.
The wheels come off. Chairman Steve Parish's nightmare of Bolton beating Palace to the play-offs is a real possibility. Something stinks on the south coast and Ollie is raging.
Excitement builds for the fans as the big day out at Wembley nears, but it's business as usual for Ollie and his boys. No sunshine break on a beach, just a 39 year-old on a bench.
