Edd was elated to see Eberechi Eze put the Eagles ahead against Manchester City in the 16th minute and then goalkeeper Dean Henderson save a penalty to seal a 1-0 victory.
Edd told the Melton Times: “As someone who grew up in South London and started supporting Palace as a child when they got to their first FA Cup Final in 1990, it was unbelievable to see them win the most famous cup competition in the world 35 years later.
