On his battered and bruised legs, Wilfried Zaha has the battle scars to prove he has spent most of his football life as a marked man.
Some are so memorable he knows exactly who was responsible for them.
It has not been unusual to see Zaha being double or even triple-marked, with some opponents seemingly believing that if you stop him, you stop Crystal Palace.
In the absence of the move he has really craved since last summer, what Zaha has needed having remained at Selhurst Park is more support to ease the burden and pain.
