As the smoke from the red and blue flares cleared from the Crystal Palace end at Wembley on Saturday, the tifo display was unfurled: above a banner reading โWembley will shake. And it will be beautifulโ was the tifo, showing a man clutching his two sons tightly to his body in either arm, in euphoric tears.
It was a recreation of a clip captured by TV cameras after Darren Ambroseโs stunning 40-yard strike for Palace against Manchester United in the 2011-12 EFL Cup quarter-final, showing the celebrations of Mark Wealleans and his sons, Dominic and Nathan.
Mark died from cancer in 2017, but for Dominic and Nathan, those memories have endured. This was a new, albeit different, special moment to add to those they had shared with their dad.
โBecause of the flags and the smoke, we couldnโt even see anything,โ Dominic told The Athletic. โWhen I saw it, I just broke down. I was just like, โOh my godโ. I had no idea, I did not expect it at all.
โAll the memories of Palace as a kid were rushing through me. I had my head in my hands crying and me and Nathan gave each other a massive hug. My dad would say to my mum: โIโll never see Palace win a trophy, but my boys willโ. Little did he know, but he was at Wembley as well on Saturday. Itโs like we felt the win for him.โ
That moment set the tone for the most glorious day in Crystal Palaceโs 119-year history โ a triumph of spirit, skill, stamina and even the odd curious superstition. This is the story of how they did it.

The image is a photograph titled "The Horse Trainer" by Fรฉlix Thiollier, taken in 1899. It depicts a horse trainer working with a horse in a snow-covered landscape...
The photo captures a serene winter scene with a horse and its trainer.ย It is a black and white photograph, showcasing the contrast between the dark figures and the white snow.ย The horse appears to be in motion, suggesting a training session.ย The location is likely in Europe, given the winter setting and the photographer's nationality.ย
Thiollier was a French photographer known for his landscape and genre scenes.ย The photo is a representation of the relationship between humans and animals.ย
The image evokes a sense of calmness and connection with nature.ย ...
This captivating photograph from 1899 is one of my all-time favorites, admired for its simple yet elegant composition. It perfectly captures a fleeting moment of movement and connection between a lady and her horse on a snowy day, freezing their graceful interaction in time. The quiet beauty of the scene invites viewers to appreciate the timeless bond between human and animal.
The woman in the photo is practicing a horse training technique known as Free lunging. In this method, the horse moves freely without any physical restraints such as a lead rope or lunge line, yet remains within a designated space like a round pen or arena. The trainer guides the horse solely through body language, voice commands, and positioning, encouraging the horse to move through different gaits such as walk, trot, and canter.
What makes this photo truly special is the evident trust and harmony between the woman and her horse. Their seamless communication speaks to a deep mutual understanding developed through patience and skillful training, creating a beautiful example of partnership and respect in the equestrian world.

A glorious 1972 photo of Tolkien strutting down Catte Street in front of the Radcliffe Camera and the Bod in his Hon DLitt gown, which he wears rather magnificently.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
- Marcus Aurelius
