Despite currently being within reach of fifth-place, Crystal Palace fans will admit that their team is in a bit of a rut. The side are still looking for their first win of the new year, despite having played bottom place Norwich and Championship side Derby County already.
Luckily for fans, the club has released a video that seems to have raised spirits slightly. Featuring the legendary Bill Nighy, the club posted a preview for their latest production. Nighy ranks number three on IMDB’s top famous Crystal Palace fans behind Neil Morrissey and Eddie Izzard. The video shows Nighy talking about the club’s journey. Upon viewing the video fans were full of delight.

Is Bill Nighy your favourite Crystal Palace fan?
Yes
No
One fan wishes it was longer. They could listen to Nighy talk about their club all day.

What do we think?
While fans were clearly happy with the video that the club published, they will be more concerned with finding their winning form again. The team play Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City next, though, meaning a win might not be as close as they might think.
