Speroni backed for late World Cup call
4:02pm Tuesday 16th March 2010
Crystal Palace manager Paul Hart has urged Argentina's national coach Diego Maradona to take a look at goalkeeper Julian Speroni before this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.
The shotstopper was in inspired form during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Barnsley as he kept his second clean sheet in three games under Hart and his tenth of the season.
In Argentina's last game against Germany, Maradona named two keepers in his squad who had less than 10 caps experience between them and Hart believes Speroni's displays mean he should be given a chance at international level.
"I don't know what Argentina's goalkeeping situation is like but I think they should have a look at him," he said.
