For this special edition episode, Jack Pierce and Joe Walker set about selecting the Palace XI of players that should have played for the club but never did. They are joined by football podcast royalty and the host of Football Cliches, Adam Hurrey, for the episode.

Whether their family supported the club, rumours linking them to Palace would never die or they just felt really Palace, some players did very well to avoid a spell in SE25 during their career. Find out who the central midfielder that screams West Wickham is, which obligatory Australian was selected and where this never-to-happen team would play their home fixtures.

Adam also talks about his new book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom: How to Use (and Abuse) The Language of Football, recently long listed for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2024. He also tells us which modern football cliche was invented by Richard Shaw.
