While players like Wilfried Zaha will score the goals and take home the Man of the Match awards, there are many players at Crystal Palace who play a vital part in the team’s success. With the player celebrating his 34th birthday this week, fans were quick to send the Gary Cahill happy birthday wishes on Twitter.
They hope he finds his way back to the field sooner rather than later. To them, it feels like he has been there for ages.
Happy birthday Gary. Also wishing you a speedy recovery.

Who should be the club's captain?
Luka Milivojevic
Gary Cahill
Others think he should be the club’s captain over Luka Milivojevic. His experience and leadership skills are evident.
Happy Birthday Gary, would love him to be our captain

What do we think?
Hopefully, for Crystal Palace, fans he can find his way back into the starting lineup soon. Injuries have kept him out of the lineup off and on for a few weeks now (transfermarkt.co.uk). His leadership qualities on the field could be a real asset to the side, assuming he can make a speedy recovery.
