Argentinian stopper Julian was signed from Dundee in the summer of 2004 to compete for the goalkeeping spot at Selhurst Park and has made the first team berth his own following the departure of Gabor Kiraly.
An untimely injury in December of 2006 perhaps robbed him of the number one jersey earlier than planned as, after breaking into the team and putting in some assured displays, he picked up a thigh strain in training and then had to wait until the final weeks of the season before getting another chance in the team.
The committed Christian first came to the attention in the UK when he played over 100 games for Dundee after joining them as a 22-year-old from Platense in his homeland and during his time in the SPL, he was recognised as one of the best keepers in Scotland and it was reported that he was close to receiving a call-up to the Argentina national team.
His first season at Selhurst Park saw him largely play understudy to Kiraly, but in the few games he did play, he showed his shot stopping abilities and agility.
The 2005/06 campaign saw Julian play back-up to Kiraly again, but he did impress during Palace's run in the Carling Cup where he put in some memorable performances, particularly in the win over Liverpool at Selhurst Park.
A naturally gifted shot stopper with the knack of being able to pull off seemingly impossible saves, Speroni has successfully positioned himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Crystal Palace's history and for that reason, among many others, he is adored by the Eagles supporters.
