A NEW Addington teenager has been voted Crystal Palace's biggest fan, following a poll of Advertiser readers.
Ryan Joy, 16, was presented with his Fan of the Year prize at the Eagles' annual awards night at Fairfield Halls on Tuesday.
The season ticket holder edged out second-placed Jade Potter, to poll the most of the 2,400 votes cast.
Ryan, who has been watching Palace since he was four, said: "This is a unique club. The fans are brilliant; everyone deserved that award to be honest.
"They really are the 12th man at Crystal Palace."
Ryan, who voted for Damien Delaney in the player of the year award - won by goalkeeper Julian Speroni - said the Boxing Day win over Aston Villa was his highlight of the season.
He added: "Not only did Dwight Gayle score a cracking goal in the dying seconds, which was really sweet, but it was also a great day out."
