The Legacy
Crystal Palace competed in the First Division in 1998-1999, finishing in 14th place under the financial uncertainty of administration. Clinton Morrison established himself as a regular attacking threat during this turbulent campaign. Neil Shipperley provided vital experience up front alongside the technical ability of Fan Zhiyi, who became one of the first Chinese players to feature prominently in English football. Adidas produced the strips for the team, which prominently displayed TDK as the front sponsor. Players navigated significant off-field pressure while the club struggled to secure its long-term future in the second tier of English football.
Key Moment
Crystal Palace made history in 1998 by signing Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai, the first Chinese players in English football, though the club entered administration in March 1999.
