Crystal palace players and managers have thrown their weight behind Marie Curie’s daffodil appeal.

The cancer charity is asking Croydon residents to wear yellow daffodil pins this March to raise money to provide free nursing care for people with terminal illnesses.

At the Crystal Palace v Sheffield United game, management, players and staff sported the yellow daffodil pins, including new manager Paul Hart and assistant manager Dougie Freedman.

Ros Hooper, Surrey Fundraising Manager said: ” I hope you will join us in supporting the Great Daffodil Appeal this year. Without your help Marie Curie Nurses would simply be unable to care for people with terminal cancer when it really matters most. Our aim is to make 2010 the best year so far, so wear your daffodil with pride.”
