As part of the testimonial celebrations for Palace legend, Dougie Freedman, Crystal Palace are proud to announce that former favourites have been confirmed to appear on the pitch at half-time.

The former Eagles will be presented to the crowd at the interval and tonight will see the return to Selhurst Park of Andrew Johnson. The former Palace striker is currently in transfer negiotations with tonight's visitors Fulham but we can confirm that he will be along to the game even if the signature  has not been put on the forms at the Cottage by 8pm this evening.

He will be introduced to the crowd at half time by Rob Fox as Dougie rolls back the years and remembers those that have played with him during his time at Selhurst Park.
