Plot Synopsis

Voiced by BBC presenter and former English footballer Gary Lineker, PREMIER LEAGUE BEHIND THE BADGE: CRYSTAL PALACE FC is a four-part reality series that follows the Eagles' ownership, players, coaches, and support staff, chronicling their daily lives and routines. Each half-hour episode focuses on the club's preparation for that week's match, as well as the game itself -- whether it's on the pitch, in the front office, or in the locker room. Shot over an 18-day period beginning January 9, each program chronicles the previous week's game. NBC Sports Group's camera crews were given access to the offices, locker rooms, pitch, and tunnel, capturing the unique atmosphere leading up to and throughout the match. The series features Crystal Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon, defender Joel Ward, co-owner Steve Parish, manager Alan Pardew, Crystal Palace club legend Mark Bright, club reporter Chris Grierson, kit man (equipment manager) Danny Young and Anna McCarthy, responsible for match-day hospitality
