    Dean Henderson is fast becoming a fan favourite at Crystal Palace, not just for his performances on the pitch but for his down-to-earth generosity off it.

    After playing a starring role last seasonâ€s FA Cup final win over Manchester City – a historic moment that delivered Palaceâ€s first major trophy – Henderson was once again the hero in the Community Shield showdown against Liverpool.

    In front of a buzzing crowd at Wembley Stadium, the England international goalkeeper made crucial saves during the penalty shootout, denying both Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott. His heroics helped Oliver Glasnerâ€s side clinch the trophy and kick off the new season in style.

    But Hendersonâ€s goodwill didnâ€t stop there.

    Following the game, he made a surprise visit to a local pub where he posed for selfies with fans. In a generous gesture, he reportedly put down a £1,000 tab, inviting Palace supporters to enjoy a few drinks on him.

    “Legend. Totally gets this club. Cheers,†one fan wrote on Instagram alongside a selfie with the goalkeeper.

    One fan, however, walked away with arguably something even more valuable than a few drinks and a selfie.

    After the penalty shootout win, Henderson accidentally left his water bottle by the goalposts. Wrapped around it was a cheat sheet detailing Liverpoolâ€s penalty tendencies – including correctly pointed out the way both Mac Allister and Elliott would go with their saved efforts.

    That bottle found its way into the hands of a lucky supporter, giving them a certified piece of Crystal Palace – and Wembley – history.
