The club is saddened to learn of the passing of former employee, Pete King, aged 77.
Pete originally started working in the club's Lottery Department before moving into the Publications Department, where he took on a variety of roles including editing the matchday programme, being the first voice of Clubcall and setting up the club’s first newspaper, Palace News.
Pete was a much loved character and was the first port of call for fans to turn to for the latest news from their football club for many years.
He became a regular fixture in the homes of so many Palace fans when he introduced Palace Chatback, a section of the Cable TV's news programme on a Friday evening - introducing the latest news, views and interviews from Selhurst Park.
