Eberechi Eze pens heartfelt farewell to Palace supporters
Eberechi “Ebz” Eze took to Instagram to deliver a deeply emotional farewell message to Crystal Palace supporters after finalizing his move to Arsenal. Reflecting on his five-year journey at Selhurst Park, he began:
> “Five years, man. Crazy. It feels like just yesterday I was walking through the doors joining from QPR. The day you gave me the chance to realise my dream of playing in the Premier League, for South London’s biggest club.”
From setting early targets upon arrival, he confessed he “had no idea of what these last five years would really turn out to be” — a sentiment that reveals both humility and gratitude.
Eze specifically lauded Palace’s ethos as a “family club,” underscoring the unwavering support he received:
> “Throughout the challenges of the Covid times, from the day I tore my Achilles and the long road of recovery to that night at Selhurst against Villa when I came back, up until this very day, the love you have all shown me… these are things that will live in my heart forever.”
He fondly recalled the pinnacle of his time at Palace — scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final at Wembley — remarking:
> “And that’s all before we made history together, lol. Wembley, man. That whole journey. Words aren’t enough to describe what we all experienced that day… God did something for us that will connect us for generations. The most special day of my career because God gave us what no one thought was possible for us!”
Eze closed his message with a simple but powerful expression of thanks:
> “So after all of this, all I really want to say is thank you. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for giving me a chance, and thank you for the love shared that will last a lifetime. Up the Palace. God bless, Ebz.”
