Midfielder Joe Ledley has hailed Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis as a "fantastic manager".
Pulis twice made failed attempts to sign Ledley during his time in charge of Stoke City, but the 56-year-old finally got his man in January when the Wales international joined Palace from Celtic.
"Third time lucky," said Ledley. "I'm here and I'm loving every minute of working under him.
"He's a fantastic manager. He's doing well at the club and it's brilliant. That's what you want when you first sign - you want to come in and look forward to working under him and that's what's happening.
"I'm just glad finally that it's worked out for the both of us. I'm just glad that I'm here - I've worked under brilliant managers and Tony's up there as well. I've been very lucky with that."
Ledley scored on his Palace debut, netting after 27 minutes in a 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion earlier this month.
