Wilfried Zaha has been immortalised in paint in celebration of his service to Crystal Palace.
The Eagles have honoured their long-serving local hero - whose contract expires this summer - and one of their greatest players, by commissioning a mural of Zaha on the wall of a house a stones' throw away from Selhurst Park and where he grew up.
The work of art was created by MurWalls led by Marc Silver and his team, who have become the go-to street artists and worked with clubs, players and fans across Europe, and designed in conjunction with Zaha and Palace.
Together they looked through over 30 memorable images from Zaha's career before selecting the most striking for the final product.
The mural contains a collage of Palace's No11 along with the words 'Zaha, oh yes!' the commentary line that accompanied his second goal in one of his greatest games in Eagles colours, the 2013 play-off
