Return to the Premier League

Did we say the 'C' word? The countdown to Christmas has begun and why not gift somebody the book of Crystal Palace's magical promotion season.

The commemorative book is available to buy now on Amazon.

The Eagles made it back to the Premier League after an amazing, unlikely 2012/13 promotion season. A Palace side that was one of the favourites to be relegated and endured their worst league start in four decades confounded the critics to go up through the play-offs.

Little money was spent on a threadbare squad, they lost manager Dougie Freedman to league rivals Bolton and managed to overcome an end-of-season wobble to make it to the top flight in dramatic style.

'Return to the Premier League' chronicles Palace's incredible journey that began with a League Cup win over Exeter and ended with a glorious triumph over Watford at Wembley after Kevin Phillips' crucial winner.

Written by the Holmesdale Online's co-founder and journalist Gordon Law, this book takes in all the defining moments of the campaign over 74 colour pages, from the brilliant victories to the woeful defeats.

It's packed with stunning action photography, the story of 2012/13, views of the players and management, facts, stats, player profiles, the goals of the season and a quiz of the campaign. This souvenir book is a lasting memento of a magical season.

'Return to the Premier League: The remarkable story of the 2012/13 Crystal Palace team' is published in softback at £9.99.
