Former Chinese national defender Pan Zhi appeared at the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season between Crystal Palace and Brighton at Selhurst Park in London on the 6th (Korea time).

The Palace club said on its official social media that 'Welcome back to Selhurst. Panzhi!' and shared two pictures of Panzhi greeting his fans on the field.

Panzhi became the first Chinese player to enter the EPL after joining Palace in 1998. In March of the same year, he failed to pass the Tottenham tryouts and wore a Palace uniform in August of that year.




Park Ji-sung joined the EPL club seven years before joining Manchester United (2005).

Panzey remained with the team for three years until 2001, scoring six goals in a total of 99 appearances. In 2000, he also claimed. It gives a glimpse of how highly the club rated Panzui.

Palace did not make it to the EPL stage, as they were relegated to the Championship at 20th place in the EPL in the 1997-1998 season and only promoted in 2004.




Panzey moved to Dundee United in Scotland in 2001 and played for Cardiff City from 2002 to 2003.
