#2 Julian Speroni
He started his career in the Scottish Premier League with the Club Dundee before signing for Crystal Palace. Speroni also holds dual citizenship and is eligible to play for both Italy and Argentina. He does not figure much in the national side of Argentina after having represented the country only in the U20 squad.
In 2004, Speroni had a terrible start in what was his first season at Selhurst Park. In the newly promoted Crystal Palace team, he made only six starts for Palace that season and failed to impress.
During his first three seasons, he played second place to another popular figure at Palace, Gabor Kiraly.
The 2007-08 season was probably the turning point for Speroni. After getting his place back in the team, he quickly proved himself and regained his reputation and went on to win the Player of the Year for Palace for the first time. Since then, he has won it three more times to notch up a tally of five awards.
Needless to say, this has earned him a massive cult following among the Palace fanbase.
He played his testimonial match against Dundee in 2015. In his 12 years at Palace, he has 359 appearances for the club breaking John Jackson's record as the goalkeeper with the most appearances for Palace. He was inducted into the Dundee Hall of Fame in 2015 before his testimonial match.
