Julian Speroni's testimonial saw Crystal Palace play against his former club Dundee

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew gave himself some game time as he came on as a substitute during Julian Speroni's testimonial.

Crystal Palace were playing Dundee - Speroni's former club - to celebrate the goalkeeper's career at Selhurst Park, which began in 2004.

Speroni has made over 350 appearances for the club and came off to a standing ovation during the game, which Crystal Palace won 4-3.

One of the biggest cheers of the night, though, came for Pardew as he entered the fray on the hour mark, with the 53-year-old rolling back the years to give a glimpse of his playing days at Palace, where he spent four years as a player.
