Kevin Day

Trustee

Kevin Day is a writer, broadcaster and comedian who saw his first Palace game in either 1969 or 1972 depending on whether you believe his dad or the local grocer about who took him first (although either way, he was obviously very young).
Kevin has performed on many continents and written for people from Dave Allen to Kevin Spacey via Ronnie Corbett, as well as writing on many popular panel games, in particular, ‘Have I Got News For You’. He has also directed a play, well a ‘version’ of a play in the West End, and is currently directing ‘Arthur Smith Sings Leonard Cohen’ which he co-wrote. However, you probably know him best as that bloke who bangs on about Palace on telly and radio as often as possible.
He is passionate about the role Palace can play in the community and won’t rest until Selhurst Park is open 7 days a week to serve the area in which it proudly belongs. Obviously, Kevin knows awards are not important but his dad would like you to know that he was part of 5Live’s Sony Gold Award winning team for coverage of the Cheltenham Festival and in 2016 he was BAFTA nominated for writing ‘A League of Their Own’.  Kevin is currently the host of the successful ‘The Price of Football’ podcast; following the money to see what’s going on behind the scenes of the beautiful game.
