Club career

[edit]

Dundee

[edit]

Speroni was born in Buenos Aires.[2] He started his career with Club Atlético Platense, in his homeland, but moved after just one year as a professional and two matches,[5] to Scottish side Dundee. Dundee manager Ivano Bonetti received advice from an Italian contact to Speroni's potential. The move to Dundee was delayed for two months, due to administration delays in Argentina, holding up Speroni's application for an Italian passport.[6]

Normally what happens with footballers is you tend to play first in your country and then after a while, say a year or two, and then you have a chance to move on to Europe, which is what most South American players want to do. But in my case it was completely different – I only played two games. He [Bonetti] and the goalkeeper coach Claudio Bozzini decided that they liked what they saw, and offered me a contract. They were pretty special circumstances. I had a big decision to make as well - it was a big experience leaving home. I had to make a decision, should I play more games there before moving on or take a gamble and come to Europe, and I decided to take a gamble. Sometimes I thought I would not be able to play for Dundee because of bureaucratic problems in Argentina. I first came to Dundee in July but I did not sign for them until two and a half months later. I had to return to Argentina because it had been left in the hands of agents to sort out, so I had to go and sort it out myself. I qualified for an Italian passport but there were a lot of people in Argentina applying for the same thing and it got held up. But Ivano was very patient with me. He told me to go to Argentina and sort it out. He has been very important in my career because he gave me first-team football – Julian Speroni reflecting on his time at Dundee.[7]

Speroni made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Falkirk in the third round of Scottish Cup on 6 January 2002.[8] In a follow–up, he kept his first Dundee's clean sheet, in a 1–0 win against Hibernian.[9] Since joining the club, he quickly became Dundee's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2001–02 season.[10] During a 2–2 draw against Dunfermline Athletic on 13 February 2002, Speroni was punched in the face by Stevie Crawford after Crawford tried to wrestle the ball from Speroni, resulting him being sent–off in the 74th minute.[11] The club's owner Peter Marr said about the player: "He has done very well and we will do what we can to come up with a deal that keeps him here."[12] It came after when Serie A club Inter Milan was interested in signing him earlier this year.[13] Despite Dundee's poor performance for the rest of the 2001–02 season that saw them finish in ninth place, he proved to be one of the positive highlights for the club and went on to make twenty–one appearances in all competitions.[14]

Ahead of the 2002–03 season, Speroni signed a three–year contract with Dundee, keeping him until 2005.[15] He later spoke out about the departure of manager Ivano Bonetti, who signed him, saying: "Ivano had a huge impact on my career and was very patient with me when I first came to Dundee. Before he brought me here, I was playing in youth teams in Argentina. When Ivano left the club I did wait a while to sign a new contract as I wanted to see what was happening. Teams in Italy were interested in me but I decided to stay at Dundee, and now, even though I am still only 24 years old, I am playing the biggest game of my career."[16] Speroni continued to be the club's first choice goalkeeper.[17] He continued to display impressive performances in a number of matches despite Dundee's average results.[18] Speroni later helped reach the Scottish Cup final after helping the club beat Inverness CT 1–0.[19] In the event leading up to the final, Speroni helped Dundee finish sixth place in the league.[20] He started in the final against Rangers, as the club lost 1–0.[21][22] At the end of the 2002–03 season, Speroni went on to make forty–six appearances in all competitions.

At the start of the 2003–04 season, Speroni continued to be the club's first choice goalkeeper despite facing competition from Jamie Langfield.[23][24] He played in his first UEFA Cup match against Vllaznia Shkodër and kept a clean sheet, as Dundee won 2–0.[25] In the return leg, Speroni kept a clean sheet, as the club won 4–0 (6–0 on aggregate) and advance to the next round.[26] However, Dundee went on to lose 3–1 against Perugia in the next round, eliminating the club from the tournament.[27] Halfway through the season, Dundee went into administration in November, leading the club expecting to sell him in the January transfer window, but he stayed in the end.[28][29][23] His performance led Herald Scotland commented that Dundee "were fortunate to have him", calling him an "inspirational".[30] Despite the club were on administration, Speroni helped Dundee finish seventh place in the league.[31] At the end of the 2003–04 season, he went on to make forty–six appearances in all competitions. Following this, Speroni was expected to leave the club, with clubs, such as, Rangers, Portsmouth and Crystal Palace interested in signing him.[32] Initially, Dundee turned down £500,000 bid from Crystal Palace, but they accepted a bid after they increased the offer for him.[33]

Eleven years after leaving Dundee, Speroni was rewarded for his years of service to Crystal Palace with a testimonial match against Dundee on 26 May 2015.[34] Two months later, prior to the testimonial match, he was inducted into the Dundee Hall of Fame picking up the International Award which was previously won by fellow countryman Claudio Caniggia.[35] Speroni played in his testimonial match against his former club, as the club won 4–3, where it attracted more than 11,000 supporters.[36] After the match, many past and present players of both Dundee and Crystal Palace paid tribute to him.[37]

Speroni signed for Crystal Palace, newly promoted to the Premier League, on 13 July 2004, for a fee of around £750,000.[38] Upon joining the club, he was given a number one shirt.[39] Speroni was featured in Crystal Palace's friendly matches throughout the pre–season tour.[40]

He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, and made an impressive display throughout the match, in a 1–1 draw against Norwich City in the opening game of the season.[41] In a follow–up match against Everton, Speroni was at fault for giving away a penalty to give the opposition team an equaliser, in a 3–1 loss; after the match, manager Iain Dowie said he needs to "get used to pressure situations and clear his lines".[42] The next four matches saw Crystal Palace lose matches, with Speroni conceding a total of twelve goals.[43] As a result of his poor performance, he was replaced by Hungarian international Gábor Király and was placed on the substitute bench for the rest of the 2004–05 season.[44] Speroni appeared twice for the club, playing in the League Cup matches.[45] Speroni watched from the substitute bench, as the club were relegated from the Premier League.[46] At the end of the 2004–05 season, he went on to make eight appearances in all competitions.

Time after time, Speroni has kept us in matches with some fine saves and it was a relief when he sorted out his contract."[78]

Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Speroni reverted to wearing his number one shirt, which he kept throughout his Crystal Palace's career.[79] Speroni continued to be the club's first choice goalkeeper despite facing competition from Darryl Flahavan.[80] At the start of the 2008–09 season, he continued to stand out as Crystal Palace's key players despite the club's poor start.[81] He helped Crystal Palace keep three consecutive clean sheets between 30 September 2008 and 18 October 2008.[82] Speroni started in every match until he missed one match, due to a leg injury sustained during a 2–0 win against Coventry City on 8 November 2008.[83] Despite missing one match and facing risk over his return from a leg injury, Speroni returned to the starting line–up from injury against Bristol City on 22 November 2008 and helped the club win 4–2.[84] Since his return from injury, he helped Crystal Palace go on an eight match unbeaten run between 22 November 2008 and 26 December 2008.[85] Speroni continued to regain his first team place as the club's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2008–09 season.[86] During a 1–0 loss against Southampton on 13 April 2009, he suffered a gash on his face in the 80th minute of the match that required him stitches and had Clint Hill stand by in goal for the rest of the match, with all three substitutes were used.[87] But Speroni quickly recovered from injury, returning to the starting line–up against Derby County on 18 April 2009 and helped Crystal Palace keep a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win.[88] At the end of the 2008–09 season, he went on to make forty–eight appearances in all competitions.

It's good that nobody rates him. But he's not leaving this club while I'm manager - unless I take him somewhere with me."[97] Speroni's performance, once again, was praised against Middlesbrough in the follow–up match when he "world class and claimed everything in his box in a commanding display" and kept a clean sheet.[98] Halfway through the 2009–10 season, Crystal Palace entered administration during the January 2010 transfer window, and the consequent ten-point deduction left the team in danger of relegation, just Speroni experienced this situation once again like his time at Dundee.[99][28][21] He continued to maintain his impressive display in a number of matches towards the end of the 2009–10 season despite the club's poor results that saw them in relegation zone.[72][100] His performance was praised by manager Paul Hart, who replaced Warnock halfway through the season, in a match against Blackpool on 20 March 2010.[101] In a match against Sheffield Wednesday in the last game of the season, which Crystal Palace needed a point to survive at their hosts' expense, Speroni started the whole game and despite conceding two goals, he helped the club draw 2–2, resulting in the opposition team relegated and the team staying up.[102][21] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Speroni went on to make thirty–two appearances in all competitions.

Speroni is just a one-off but he does that every week and that's why he's been here so long with us. Speroni is a gem of a person."[147] During a 2–2 draw against West Bromwich Albion on 25 October 2014. Speroni was substituted in the 55th minute after he took a blow to the face from Craig Dawson's arm.[148] After the match, manager Warnock questioned the official's failure to take action against Dawson, calling it "an assault almost" and that Speroni could have been injured.[149] But he made his recovery and returned to the starting line–up against Sunderland, as Crystal Palace lost 3–1 on 3 November 2014.[150] Speroni then made his 347th league appearance for Crystal Palace, breaking John Jackson's record as the team's goalkeeper with the most league appearances, against Arsenal on 21 February 2015, losing 2–1.[151] During a 2–1 win against Stoke City on 21 March 2015, he made an impressive display by making impressive saves and was praised by his teammate, James McArthur.[152] However, Speroni uncharacteristically had an inconsistent season could be due to a lack of rotation and even a sense of being too comfortable in the number one spot.[153] Despite being dropped to the substitute bench for the last two remaining matches of the 2014–15 season, he went on to make thirty–seven appearances in all competitions.[154] On 22 May 2015, Speroni signed a one-year contract extension at Crystal Palace to keep him at the club until at least the end of the 2015–16 season.[155]

I want to be enjoying it as long as I can compete at this level but you can never put a time limit on it because you never know what is around the corner but if I keep feeling like I am at the moment then I will be looking to play for a few more years yet."[177] By late–December, he was dropped from the substitute bench, with Hennessey preferred as the club's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2017–18 season.[178] Speroni also faced his own injury concern after he suffering a knee injury that saw him out for two months.[179] At the end of the 2017–18 season, he went on to make thirteen appearances in all competitions.

After months of speculation over his future at Crystal Palace, Speroni signed a one–year contract extension with the club on 4 July 2018.[180] At the start of the 2018–19 season, he continued to remain the pecking order behind Hennessey and Vicente Guaita and was Crystal Palace's third choice goalkeeper.[181] Following the injuries of Hennessey and Guaita, Speroni made his first appearance of the season against Liverpool on 19 January 2019 and was at fault when he conceded the fifth goal of the game, in a 4–3 loss.[182] After the match, both manager Roy Hodgson and chairman Steve Parish defended Speroni's performance, while the player acknowledged his mistake on the third goal.[183] Despite this, he continued to keep his place in goal against Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the FA Cup and kept a clean sheet, in a 2–0 win, what turns out to be his last appearance.[184] After the match, his performance was praised and was even Man of the match on the club's website.[185] Upon the return of Guaita and Hennessey, Speroni returned to Crystal Palace's third choice goalkeeper status, as well as, his own concern.[186] On 30 April 2019, he was awarded the club's Chairman's Award for Outstanding Contribution at the award ceremony.[187] It was announced on 9 May 2019 that Speroni would leave Crystal Palace at the end of the 2018–19 season, after 15 years with the club.[188] By the time he departed Crystal Palace, Speroni remains the last player born in the 1970s to play in the Premier League. In the wake of his departure, past and present players and supporters from Crystal Palace paid tribute to the player, acknowledging his contributions he has done for the club.[189] Manager Hodgson said he offered Speroni a starting place in the last game of the season against Bournemouth as a wonderful gesture but he rejected a chance at his own request.[190] On the day of the match, Speroni received a guard of honour from his team-mates and made a farewell speech, thanking the club and will never forget his time there.[191] At the end of the 2018–19 season, he made two appearances in all competitions.

During his time at Crystal Palace, Speroni quickly became a fan favourite among the club's supporters and soon earn himself a cult hero.[192][193][194] Your Local Guardian once described Speroni as "one of the nicest guy in football", a sentiment that was agreed upon by Crystal Palace's supporters[195] Because of his contributions made at Crystal Palace, he considered himself to be a fan of the club.[28][196]

Post-playing career

[edit]

After leaving Crystal Palace, Speroni said that he ruled out hanging up his boots and was willing to play in his forties.[197] However, after not finding another club he announced his retirement from professional football after playing for 20 years.[198] Speroni previously hinted that he would be moving to coaching once in his playing time is over.[28] In October 2022 he returned to Crystal Palace as a coach within the club's academy system.[199]

International career

[edit]

In November 1998, Speroni was named in the squad for a friendly against Japan U20 in Tokyo.[200] In December 1998, he was called into the Argentina U20 pre-selection squad for the 1999 South American U-20 Championship,[201] Argentina's under 20 team played friendlies against Hungary and Denmark. On 30 December José Pékerman did not name him in the final squad.[202]

Speroni made one appearance for the Argentina U20 team, and said on two separate interviews that he would like to get a call–up from the senior team, but was not considered throughout his professional career.[76][203] Both managers Warnock and Paul Hart called on Maradona to give him a place for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[204]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to working-class parents, Speroni said he spoke about positivity on his childhood.[192] Growing up, he began playing football when he was eight years old and joined a school football club.[193] He at one point almost quit playing football but his coach convinced him otherwise, as he enjoyed playing football.[193] Speroni also revealed that he grew up watching Serie A football because of its popularity in the country and was a boyhood Boca Juniors supporter.[192][21] Speroni also holds an Italian passport, for which he qualified through his grandfather.[6] He is a Christian and also on the board of reference for Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), an organisation working for religious freedom through advocacy and human rights.[205] In addition to speaking Spanish, he speaks English.[206] Speroni is married to his childhood sweetheart, Marina, an artist.[198][21] Together, they have three children and all of them were born in England.[198][207]

Speroni owned a restaurant in Purley, south London that was named "Speroni's".[21][208] The restaurant closed in October 2016 following "structural issues".[209] He also took part in charity work during his playing career at Crystal Palace.[210]
