Julian Speroni's farewell interview from his Crystal Palace departure

At the end of last season, Julian Speroni bid an emotional farewell to Crystal Palace, his club of 15 years.

Now, on his 41st birthday, read his final written interview as a Palace player - with Jules speaking to the official Palace programme just days before waving goodbye to Selhurst Park.

Julian Speroni sits in a grey, empty and sporadically heated room. He talks about breakfast, his children and mate, an Argentinian tea he drinks every morning. He even explains where to buy it from.

He talks with ready conviviality, propped up on a plastic office chair before heading out for a morning of training - aged 39 - with a Premier League football club.
