# These Palace fans pick the club’s greatest ever player

A number of Crystal Palace fans have reacted to a claim that Wilfried Zaha is the club’s greatest ever player.

The official club Twitter account posted a video in commemoration of Zaha, 10 years on from him making his Palace debut back in 2010.

Zaha made his [Palace debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/profil/spieler/145988) in the 2009/10 season in the Championship and [went on to score](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/profil/spieler/145988)18 goals in 143 games in his first spell at the club – with all four seasons coming in the second tier.

He then joined Manchester United in [2013](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/profil/spieler/145988), although he was unable to make an impression at Old Trafford and swiftly returned to Palace in 2014.

[Since returning to the club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/profil/spieler/145988), Zaha has scored 38 goals in 210 appearances, with 35 of those goals coming in the Premier League. This means that he has racked up 353 games for Palace to date, scoring 56 goals.
