Palace signed Speroni from Scottish club Dundee in summer 2004, after securing promotion back to the Premier League against West Ham United in the 2004 play-off final.

He was used sparingly during his first three seasons at the club, as Hungarian Gábor Király started ahead of him, but from 2007/08 he made the No.1 shirt his own.

Speroni was ever-present during his first full season between the sticks in 2007/08, making 48 appearances in the Championship and helping the club reach the play-off semi-finals.
