Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has turned up to preseason training with a new name!

While most football coaches choose to have their initials printed onto their training kit, the 53-year-old has gone down a different route.

Instead, the Eagles boss has been photographed with his nickname 'PARDS' proudly emblazoned on his Palace gear while overseeing a training session in London.
