Speroni tributes pour in from former teammates on legend's 40th birthday

Happy Birthday, Jules! It has been quite the week for our goalkeeping icon with an emotional farewell at Selhurst Park last Sunday, followed up with his 40th birthday today.

From current and former team-mates, you'll forever have a place in the Eagles' hall of fame. Have a great one, Julian #ManosDeDios!

Joel Ward: "He's a living legend..."

"He’s been an incredible servant, he’s invaluable really. What he’s done for the club and what he’s been through since he’s been at the club is rare. It’s one of a kind. Jules’ character and attitude and what he’s achieved is a testament to who he is as a footballer but also as a man.
