Crystal Palace Football Club are a professional football team based in South Norwood in south-east London and playing in the Coca-Cola Football League Championship, the second level of English football. The club celebrated its centenary in 2005. Known as the "Eagles", Crystal Palace's traditional arch rivals are known as the "Seagulls", Brighton & Hove Albion, and local rivals the "Lions", Millwall.
The club has, over the years, adopted The Dave Clark Five's song Glad All Over as its anthem. It is played at the start of all home matches, and, if Palace win, at the end too.
