This Friday, Crystal Palace Under-18s will face off with Bolton Wanderers in the biggest game of their season yet under the lights of Selhurst Park as they vie to progress in the esteemed FA Youth Cup.
Guiding them through the match and tournament as a whole will be former Palace first-team defender Paddy McCarthy.
McCarthy was with the club for eight years before moving into a coaching role towards the tail end of his career and he now manages the Under-18s at Palace's Beckenham Academy site.
Looking ahead to his young side's Youth Cup battle this Friday at 19.
