Dean Henderson: Crystal Palace star treats fans to £1,000 worth of drinks at pub
Dean Henderson is rapidly becoming a beloved figure among Crystal Palace supporters, not just for his skills on the field but also for his generous nature off of it. After being a key player in last season’s FA Cup final victory against Manchester City – a landmark achievement that secured Palace’s first major trophy – Henderson again shone during the Community Shield match against Liverpool. In front of an excited crowd at Wembley Stadium, the England international goalkeeper executed vital saves during the penalty shootout, stopping both Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott. His impressive performance enabled Oliver Glasner’s squad to secure the trophy and start the new season on a high note. But Henderson’s kind-heartedness didn’t end there. After the match, he made an unexpected appearance at a nearby pub where he happily took selfies with fans. In a generous act, he reportedly covered a £1,000 tab, encouraging Palace fans to enjoy a round on him. “Legend. Totally gets this club. Cheers,” one supporter commented on Instagram with a selfie alongside the goalkeeper. Dean Henderson just swung by The Alsopp Arms and dropped a £1K tab at the bar to treat us all to a drink. Legend.

Following the penalty shootout victory, Henderson inadvertently left his water bottle by the goalposts. Attached to it was a cheat sheet revealing Liverpool’s penalty-taking tendencies – including the preferred directions of both Mac Allister and Elliott during their attempts. That water bottle ended up in the possession of an excited supporter, gifting them a genuine piece of Crystal Palace history – and a slice of Wembley.
