Luka Milivojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Лука Миливојевић; born 7 April 1991) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the Serbia national team.
The idea of a club at Crystal Palace was first proposed in 1904 by The Crystal Palace Company.
 The proposal was rejected by the Football Association, who disliked the idea of the owners of the Cup Final venue also possessing a football club.
 However a separate company was formed the following year in order to establish the club under the chairmanship of Sydney Bourne, chosen due to his propensity in buying tickets to the Cup Final.
 Crystal Palace Football Club was formed on 10 September 1905 playing in the Aston Villa colours of claret and blue.
 The choice of colours was a result of the important role in the club's formation played by Edmund Goodman, an Aston Villa employee who was recommended to the fledgling club by the Villa chairman.
 Goodman organised the business side of the club and managed the team from 1907 to 1925.
 A former amateur player with Villa, Goodman had lost his right leg after an injury led to amputation.
