United States Nketiah wears 9: Five of Palace's greatest No. 9s
31 Aug 2024
Crystal Palace
As Eddie Nketiah looks ahead to making his Crystal Palace debut, let's look back at some of the club's greatest centre-forwards to take on the famous No.
In the 2022/23 campaign he was ever-present, featuring in all 41 competitive matches, and he finished his career in South London with 23 goals and 22 assists to his name, before departing for Leicester City this summer.

What a lethal centre-forward partnership this was, and with the traditional No. 9 and No. 10 shirts to boot. With Ian Wright sporting the latter, Brighty took on the mantle of being the club’s No. 9 and smashed in goal after goal.
He finished his Palace career with 114 in all competitions, part of Steve Coppell’s side which reached the FA Cup final, finished third in the top-flight – still a club best – and lifted the Full Members’ Cup at Wembley.
