It was an emotional day at Selhurst Park today as Palace romped home as 5-3 winners against Bournemouth, and an appreciative south London crowd said farewell to a true Palace legend in Julian Speroni.
Speaking after a guard of honour from his team-mates and the rapturous reception given to Speroni during his public address and lap of appreciation, the veteran shot-stopper said: “It’s hard to express how I’m feeling right now. It’s been 15 years, and the bond that we’ve built with all the fans here is just incredible. I will never forget it. It’s something that will stay with me forever.
