A South London legend, ‘Clyney’ wore the red and blue on 252 occasions across two stellar spells at Selhurst Park.
Clyne has played a vital role in one of the most important chapters in Palace’s story, starting out when the Eagles were in the Championship and leaving as one of the most decorated players in club history.
Graduating from the Palace Academy, the full-back made his senior debut back in October 2008. The then 17-year-old came off the bench during a 3-0 win over Barnsley.
Clyne would go on to make 137 appearances for the Eagles over the next four years and featured in landmark matches in the club’s recent history, including being on the bench for the Survival Sunday win over Sheffield Wednesday in 2010, and starting the famous League Cup quarter-final win away at Manchester United a year later.
In 2012 Clyne moved to Southampton, before making his England debut in late 2014 and ultimately winning 14 caps for the Three Lions. He then joined Liverpool in 2015 where he would reach two European finals.
After five years at Anfield, Clyne returned to South London in 2020, with his second debut in a 2-1 win against Fulham coming just over 12 years on from his first appearance for the Eagles.
Over the last six years, the full-back has helped Palace continue to stabilise in the Premier League and become a key part of a history-making team.
Most notably, he was part of the squad that delivered a first major trophy, winning FA Cup in 2024/25 and the Community Shield at the start of the following season.
