Crystal Palace celebrate historic FA Cup win with parade
Crystal Palace supporters had all waited a lifetime for this moment. When the two buses carrying Oliver Glasner and his FA Cup winners rounded the corner of Holmesdale Road, red and blue smoke from flares filled the air as thousands of south Londoners showed their appreciation, with several shedding tears again. In the days since Eberechi Eze's winner against Manchester City clinched Palace's first-ever trophy, a sense of disbelief has been the overwhelming feeling for fans who are excitedly contemplating a first foray into Europe next season. 'This has been the best week of my life to share this with all these guys,' said an emotional chair, Steve Parish. 'Our fans are our superpower – that is what we've got that drives us forward.' Ambitious plans to host the parade in Crystal Palace Park – the club's former home and where the Cup final itself was played between 1895 and 1914 – had failed to come to fruition despite several days of discussions with local stakeholders. Croydon council's chief executive even denied rumours that it had demanded £200,000 to host the celebrations in the borough, while neighbouring Bromley council revealed that it had suggested a parade from the training ground in Beckenham via the park and then the stadium but Palace 'did not feel able to proceed in the time available with their ideas, given concerns raised by a range of organisations'. The result was a slimmed down route that you could usually walk in about five minutes but it took Joel Ward, Marc Guéhi and co the best part of an hour to complete. Even a downpour of rain as the buses made their way along Whitehorse Lane couldn't dampen the spirits, with 7,000 supporters then piling on to the pitch at Selhurst Park to continue the celebrations that included a DJ set from Sister Bliss from Faithless, whose singer Maxi Jaxx was a vice-president at Palace before his death in 2022. 'I've been dancing all day,' admitted French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta when he was called up onstage to collect his goal of the season award for his lob against Arsenal at the Emirates. With planning permission for a new stand that would take the stadium's capacity to 34,000 having been granted last summer, work was expected to finally begin in the coming weeks but spiralling costs have caused further delays. It is estimated that they could reach up to £240m, while uncertainty over the club's ownership is another hurdle that Parish must resolve. But holding on to Glasner, whose contract expires at the end of next season, will be his main priority, not to mention a number of players who are coveted by bigger clubs including Guéhi, Mateta and Wembley hero Eze. 'We couldn't hope for a better group,' admitted Parish when he addressed the exultant crowd on the pitch after the parade. 'To smash through the glass ceiling for this football club and finally win something – their names will go down in history. They will always be loved here.' Asked what Glasner has done for Palace since taking over from Roy Hodgson as manager last February, he added: 'Oliver doesn't like coming second! Winning is a drug and I don't see any reason at all why we can't go and do it again. We need to deliver for the manager in the close season and the fans.' Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion The Austrian has made a habit of winning trophies wherever he has been and has seemed to take Palace's victory in his stride despite allowing himself to let his hair down on a staff trip to Ibiza after their win over Wolves in midweek. Glasner showed his ruthless side during the final match of the season against Liverpool on Sunday when he substituted Romain Esse after the £12m January signing from Millwall had been brought on as a replacement and criticised his attitude. He was in far more relaxed mood on Monday and stressed the importance of maintaining their progress next season. 'Today is a good moment to talk about [our achievements]. Yesterday after the game maybe not,' he said. 'I couldn't be more pleased to work with a group of players like they are. Not just because of their talent, they are great talents, but especially what great characters they are. It's very exciting, and we all will enjoy this journey, playing the Premier League, playing the Carabao Cup, playing the FA Cup and playing the Europa League. Four competitions, four titles to win, let's go for every single one.'

Emun Elliott shines in The Gold as the BBC heist drama goes global
Edinburgh actor Emun Elliott stars in Neil Forsyth's hit BBC drama, The Gold, now returning for a second season | Leigh Lothian The Edinburgh actor explains why forty years after the biggest bullion heist in history the Brinks-Mat story still fires the imagination Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Edinburgh actor Emun Elliott stars in Neil Forsyth's hit BBC drama, The Gold, now returning for a second season | Leigh Lothian 'If you've bought any gold after 1983 there's a really good chance that somewhere in it is a piece of the stolen Brink's-Mat bullion,' says Emun Elliott who is back as detective Tony Brightwell in season two of Neil Forsyth's hit BBC TV drama The Gold. 'It's a story that spans years and changed the world as we know it. I think that's why people are so intrigued by it,' says the Scottish actor. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Elliott is back as detective Tony Brightwell in the second season of the dramatisation of the real life 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery, the biggest ever gold heist in history, when six robbers broke into a warehouse near Heathrow and stole £26 million's worth of gold bars, sparking the longest and at that time most expensive investigation in the history of the Metropolitan police. Emun Elliott stars as real life detective Tony Brightwell, on the trail of the gold and criminals involved in the 1983 Brinks-Mat robbery. | Leigh Lothian Season Two picks up the story after the conviction of some of those involved and the police's realisation that they've only been chasing half of the gold. Brightwell teams up once more with Nicki Jennings [Charlotte Spencer] and their boss, DCI Brian Boyce [Hugh Bonneville] to continue hunting the three tonne haul of gold on its journey through international money laundering and organised crime. 'The story goes on,' says Elliott. 'It becomes international and we learn how that gold and the money from it found its way into so many criminal enterprises across the globe. We see how it changed people, how that level of wealth and power changed the criminals involved and the pursuit of it changed the authorities and security systems.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Based on a true story, the crime has always captured the public imagination for its audacity. 'Neil [Forsyth] has obviously taken creative licence but it's based on fact and it's a truly fascinating story that bleeds into every element of society. 'Older people remember but the younger generation don't, and on the surface the robbery itself is staggeringly impressive and shocking. These six South Londoners in a van pretty much managed to get away with it - until they got caught.' 'A classic tale of cops and robbers just works, but it's very much not black and white. There are points where you want the bad guys to get away with it and others where you want the authorities to catch up with them. Also, the way it was shot has an almost documentary feel that brings reality to an over the top story. It's fascinating. Historically the Brink's-Mat robbery changed the world: criminality changed, security systems, legislation, the criminal underworld had to adapt and find new ways of operating and new technology became available for the police on their trail.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Although Tony Brightwell was a real person who was part of the Flying Squad working on the investigation, Neil Forsyth decided to make him Scottish, meaning that Edinburgh based Elliott could use his own accent. Emun Elliott plays real life detective Tony Brightwell, one of the Brink's-Mat Task Force of the Metropolitan police in series two of The Gold on BBC. | BBC 'He passed away years ago and there's one little talking head clip of him. He's very much English, but Neil wanted a Scottish voice as part of the story so we decided to go our own way and that allowed me to bring a lot of myself to the character. I also had to make sure that he was different to Kenny from Guilt,' says Elliott, who was delighted to be working with Forsyth again. Because the ramifications of the heist are international Elliott gets to follow the trails from rainy London to sunnier shores. 'I remember furiously flicking through the script, hoping Tony gets a little piece of the sunshine these criminals seem to be enjoying. Later in season two Jennings and Brightwell are sent to the Caribbean, which we filmed in Tenerife, and that was joyful to play some scenes in the sun and not have to wear that hideous anorak that Brightwell cuts about in for the first four episodes.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It's true Brightwell doesn't have the sartorial confidence and panache of Kenny in the BAFTA winning Guilt, also written by Neil Forsyth. 'Brightwell is written as this everyman, a guy who's never had a huge amount of ambition, happy to plod along doing his job, good at what he does, has a wife and kids and a mortgage. I'd never played a character like that, so it became a study of what is an everyman and how do you make that interesting? How did he go about it? 'I thought what is it about me that makes me not an everyman, and tried to lose those characteristics. How do you make someone who doesn't have really strong characteristics interesting, make someone safe and relaxed and trustworthy and comfortable? It's the exploration of someone on the back foot, and for me the best thing was just to relax. A lot of time on set I'm focusing on what am I trying to do in this scene or putting onto this character but with Tony it was more about how horizontally can I play this guy and how do I make that interesting? It was a different process that became really enjoyable. The more I relaxed and allowed things to happen, the freer the process became.' Emun Elliott | Leigh Lothian Elliott was also pleased to revisit Brightwell's easy working relationship with his side-kick detective Nicki Jennings, played by Charlotte Spencer, as the returning cast which includes Tom Cullen, Stefanie Martini and Sam Spruell is supplemented by a host of new characters. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Our relationship is very like that in real life,' he says. 'We found this immediate platonic chemistry that leads into that relationship on screen. I think it's important for the show because a lot of the story is quite heavy, high stakes and serious and it's nice to have a dynamic that roots the show in realism and allows for humour and banter.' Emun Elliott and Charlotte Spencer as dtectives Tony Brightwell and Nicki Jennings in The Gold, season two on BBC. | BBC The most agitated the dogged and determined Brightwell gets is over his breakfast at the B&B he and Jennings stay in on the Isle of Man as they followed the trail of laundered money, when it doesn't follow his tattie scone and black pudding expectations. A creature of habit, like everyone in the early 1990s, a time of faxes, phone booths and fags, he smokes at every possible opportunity. Was that onerous for Elliott? 'Well I'm from a long line of smokers… But unfortunately you're not allowed to smoke real cigarettes on set any more so those cigarettes are herbal and if you think the smell of a real cigarette is bad, these herbal things… Shooting a scene in a tiny office for eight hours and every time that camera rolls I light one of those, I don't think the cast and crew appreciate that. I don't know how many I got through. I should look at the consequences health-wise because they've surely taken a couple of months off my already shortened life.' Emun Elliott | Leigh Lothian Another thing the fictional Brightwell has is a moustache, a familiar facial addition for Elliott. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'What happens is I have a moustache for a job then shave it off then go for a hair and makeup check for the next one and they say 'let's try something different, let's try a moustache'. He laughs. 'I think people just like seeing me with a moustache. I don't always have one. It seems to mysteriously make its way onto my upper lip so deep down there's clearly a deep affinity I have with it. But it's started to go white and grey and that's really concerning because it's losing its definition and becoming something else entirely. As regards my career, the minute it goes completely grey, I'm either going to be doing all sorts of different work or none at all - I really think all my magic lies somewhere within that moustache.' Now 41, Elliott was raised in Edinburgh by his social worker mother and Iranian/Persian university lecturer father. Has Elliott ever visited Iran? 'I've been there twice. Once when I was eight and once when I was 19. So it's been a long time. But all of my extended family is there. My mum's side in the UK is small whereas in Iran my dad has five brothers who all have wives and huge families so it was amazing to go and meet people and recognise similarities and explore this culture. In the media the story we're told of Iran is often very political and focuses on the regime which is brutal, so to go and see another side, see what families are like behind closed doors, how warm and welcoming and rich that culture is, was a real eye-opener and made me for the first time in my life, when I was 19, to be really proud to be Persian. It was important for me to explore that for myself, because the narrative we're told over here focuses on the bad really.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After school Elliott went to study English and French at Aberdeen University but left in first year to study drama at the RSAMD, where he was awarded a gold medal then embarked on a career that has seen him work with some of the biggest names in the industry. After landing the role as Private Fraser in The National Theatre of Scotland's Black Watch (2006-8) he appeared alongside Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne in the 2010 horror film Black Death which led to Ridley Scott casting him as a space pilot in the 2012 sci-fi epic Prometheus and a role in the 2015 Star Wars blockbuster The Force Awakens, with TV credits including Game of Thrones, and more recently TV hit such as Neil Forsyth's Guilt, The Rig, Sexy Beast and now The Gold. Was it a hard decision to leave university and try acting? 'It was a difficult decision. I realised I wanted to be an actor years before that but never thought of it as a serious option for me.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Elliott's love of acting began back in primary school where he played the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. 'The caterpillar, my first ever acting job. That still sets the bar,' he jokes. 'I think I was five, but I still remember the song and the dance. I had even invented this little walk.' In Lewis Carroll's book the caterpillar offers Alice advice on changing size and poses the existential question 'Who are you?", as befits an insect that will one day transform into a butterfly and fly away. Did Elliott's caterpillar have a moustache? 'Not quite. I hadn't quite developed,' he says. Playing the caterpillar was transformative and planted the idea that acting was something Elliott enjoyed. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It came easily, it was where I thrived. It wasn't on the curriculum so I got to grips with it after school, national youth theatres and whatnot, but I really developed a love for being on stage and part of an ensemble. And I was told I was good at it, but when I left school I thought I better get a degree, something academic, but after a few months I thought this isn't making me happy. It just wasn't thrilling me. 'My parents had always encouraged me to do something that makes me happy so it took me a couple of months to pluck up courage to say I don't want to do this, I want to have a shot at pursuing my dream. Thank god I did and got to drama school and that so far it's working out. 'But I think no good thing has ever happened to me without a massive risk preceding it. Dropping out of university and applying for drama school was a huge risk. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't got in, but it's led to some of the best things I've ever done.' Emun Elliott | Leigh Lothian What would he say is the best thing he's ever done? 'The best thing is just having a career. I know how difficult it is, even for successful actors, the long periods of unemployment initially, the financial strain, that constant rejection, it's a lot for anyone, but especially a young person to take, and many people fall by the wayside. A lot of brilliant actors don't get the opportunities they deserve and a lot of terrible actors do, so the fact there's no real meritocracy can be really difficult. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'My greatest achievement is no particular job but managing to have a semblance of a career. That's enough for me.' As for the future, are there any roles Elliott hasn't played but would like to? 'I don't really have a plan or my mind set on particular roles. I want to play characters at the centre of the story. I've had the opportunity in the past but a lot of my work has been supportive, which I love but moving into the third decade of my career, I'm drawn towards characters who have enough screen time to allow them to breathe. It really gives the actor the opportunity to show what they can do. 'I want to keep playing characters that have more and more depth. I want them to be constantly surprising. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But I like all of it. More recently playing characters that are closer to myself allows you to explore every element of your own character. I also like jobs like Sexy Beast, playing someone as far away from me as possible.' In the crime drama TV series released last year, a prequel of the 2000 film Sexy Beast starring Ray Winston and Ben Kingsley, Elliott took over Kingsley's role of Don Logan, and owned the terrifyingly hair-trigger tempered, violent sidekick of James McArdle's Gal Dove. 'To continue to mix it up and surprise audiences and see how much I can get away with in terms of making people believe I'm someone else. That's the thrill,' he says. Aside from being in front of the camera, Elliott admits he has a hankering to write, and a story he'd like to tell. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'If I were to write, I would write the story of how my dad met my mother, because it was in 1979 just after the Iranian revolution. My dad had just landed on the shores of Edinburgh and they met on Princes Street. My mum was 16 and my dad was 21 so they were kids. My dad was working in shipping - import and export - for the Iranian shipping service, and as a 16 year old she jumped on his ship and they travelled the world together for months. That's the story I'd love to tell someday.' So what did his dad say to his mum on Princes Street? 'Well there are two different…' says Elliott, and then, like the caterpillar, disappears. Our Zoom time is up and I'm left like Alice, wondering. But being a story teller and a trooper, he sends an email taking up the tale: 'When it comes to writing - someday I'd love to tell the story of how my parents met. My dad was an officer on an Iranian shipping line in the late 70s/early 80s. They had stopped off for a few days in Edinburgh. He met my mum on Princes Street. She was 16, my dad was 20. They fell in love and embarked on this magnificent adventure around the world together, crossing continents and oceans. Both from very different cultures and backgrounds but together on this voyage of love, hardship and discovery. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'They both have different versions of the story so I'd want to somehow tell my Mum's version of the story side by side with my dad's - mainly for comic effect but also to show how two different people can have two very different versions of the same tale. It will be a story of falling in love cross culturally at a very political time in both British and Iranian history, set all over the earth and seas! First step is to sit down with each of my parents individually and document their version of events. Watch this space!'

Pep Guardiola's five-word taunt to Dean Henderson that sparked FA Cup final spat
After Pep Guardiola was spotted confronting Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson after the FA Cup final, a leading lip reader believes they know what the Manchester City boss said An expert lip reader believes Pep Guardiola branded Crystal Palace's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City a "disgrace" during his confrontation with Dean Henderson. The Palace keeper, 28, was the man of the match at Wembley Stadium, making numerous saves, including one from the spot from Omar Marmoush, to help his side win their first-ever major trophy. Henderson was at the centre of the action on a historic day for the South Londoners. It was he who had given the penalty away in the most controversial moment of the contest. As Erling Haaland looked set to nip the ball past the ex- Manchester United man, he reached outside his penalty area and hooked it away with his hand. Despite VAR having a look, Henderson remained on the field, with the officials believing the ball was destined to go out of play regardless. At the end of the game, Guardiola could be seen exchanging some heated words with the England international. After reviewing the footage, a lip reader believes they know what was said between the pair. According to the Daily Mail, the lip reader claims Guardiola started the exchange by shouting: "You didn't deserve that. Disgrace." A surprised Henderson replied: "You still had your 10 minutes." That was in reference to the 10 minutes of injury time that was added on at the end of the game. They also state Henderson repeated "10 minutes" over and over again to the City boss, who said: "It's not fair play. You should not - it's not fair." Guardiola was soon pulled away by Palace reserve goalkeeper Matt Turner, while the Eagles' boss Oliver Glasner also stepped in by giving Henderson a hug, seemingly stopping the exchange in its tracks. In his post-match interviews, Palace's No. 1 backed up the lip reader's claims when asked what was said between the pair. Speaking to ITV, the ex-United shot-stopper said: "I just went to shake his hand but obviously I think he was disappointed with the time wasting. I said, 'You got the 10 minutes that you wanted.' No hard feelings." As unhappy as he was with what he considered to be time-wasting or underhand tactics, Guardiola offered up no excuses for their loss beneath the Wembley arch. The ex-Barcelona boss said: "He (Henderson) defended his position, we defend our position. It's English football. Everyone can do whatever they want. "We have to score goals. We didn't lose because Henderson did that. They gave nine or 10 minutes extra time but it's a question of rhythm. All the fans are there to let 22 players play. "When Barcelona play, they attack and the other team attacks and it's beautiful. But it's a question of the referee. We don't have the rhythm. I understand when it's 87 minutes, 96, but I don't feel it. "My teams never try because I try to play the game that the people deserve to watch. Saying that, congratulations to Henderson and Palace because they defended really well and we were not able to score a goal." As well as being their maiden major trophy, Palace's victory at Wembley also books themselves a place in the Europa League next season. Meanwhile, Guardiola will have to come to terms with his first year without a trophy since his debut campaign at City, all the way back in the 2016/17 season.
