Palace fan and NFL announcer Alan Roach reveals Super Bowl tips

Who would have thought it: Alan Roach, the voice of the Super Bowl, is a Crystal Palace fan.

Roach, public address announcer for the Minnesota Vikings, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids and voice of global NFL events and multiple Olympic Games, will be familiar with any American football fans for his announcing of some of the biggest games in the sport's history.

But voice is heard by millions every year and has become synonymous with America's biggest sporting spectacle.

Naturally, then, he supports a football club based in Croydon. Speaking with Palace TV before Super Bowl LV between Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs, Roach explained how his connection with the Eagles began.
