Adorning a large double billboard located on Streatham High Road were striking images of two Crystal Palace players in action. Specifically two academy players.

“Born in South London,” the poster boasted.

On one, the forward Sean Scannell was controlling an aerial ball. On the other, team-mate Nathaniel Clyne was holding off a Norwich City player. “South London and Proud” read the smaller taglines underneath the images.
