They don't make them like this anymore.
Still find it mad he was playing at Fulham he was the best Goalkeeper in the league & arguably in the world at times. One of Fergie's best signings & god we could use someone like him now 😢
I always remember the hip thing at this time was young goalkeepers. I think Buffon started the trend but you had everyone going after guys like Sebastien Frey, Chris Kirkland, Richard Wright etc and United tried it with Tim Howard. Ultimately they went back to what worked and just got a guy with ability and a tone of experience in van der Sar.
Maybe it's because of him that I became a Netherlands fan. I still support the Dutch football team in every international competition today.
Many clubs in Europe have some big legacy, and can say they have had legendary strikers, midfielders, or defenders. But a few can say they have had a legendary goal keeper. Manchester United have had two.
Maar als Ajax directeur een grote bal door zijn handen laten glippen omdat hij Mislidat op het doel zetten, Ajax heeft daar nu nog last van, jaren terug geworpen.
Low key the best that has ever played in the prem, god knows what he doing at Fulham
do more like this
Just shows you need a big character like Edwin Van Der Sar for a club like Man Utd. Tim Howard first 5 months in Man Utd was amazing then everything just went downhill all of a sudden.
LFC fan here and just got to say Edwin was a top top top world class keeper. DDG was great too, but imo not world class. Edwin was worth 15 points a season alone
Wanted Van Der Sar in 2000. Better late than never! Absolute legend 🙏🏾💯
Đẳng cấp thế giới!
IMO United best goalie. Made top class save after another, clam & never blamed defenders whenever conceded goals (unlike Schmeichel who used to always tell his teammates it’s their fault & never his) holds the record minutes for not conceding a goal something Peter couldn’t achieve. Longevity to sign at almost age 35 & departed pushing 41 (Peter was 35 when he past his best & left United) Edwin took United to three CL finals & ended the hero/MOTM in 08 final at the penalty shootouts while Schmeichel fluked 99 & was at fault for conceding the opener & finally Edwin was the best with his feet in the world back then with him playing from the back as a useful option to have in contrast to Peter Schmeichel was rubbish at it & never developed that skill.
"I will do my best to reach half of what Peter has achieved" that is humility and respect right there

1: Van Der Sar
2: Buffon
3: Kahn
and only then Casillas.
This is how it has always been.
What a great watch. The amount of keepers United went through between Schmeichel retiring and Van der Sar signing tells you all you need to know. No question about needing a new keeper over the next 6 seasons.
And John O'Shea? A utility player during his time at United and would probably get in the team ahead of any of the back 4 that are there at the moment.
It's been a hard time of late.
Still can't wait for the new season though.
Turned down Liverpool the legend
HE was truly Mr. Reliable. Can't remember any mistake he made that cost the team the game. A true legend.
Thank you Edwin.
Great Documentary 🎉
Interesting watch, befitting of his journey and impact at United.
He was better than schmiechal FOR SURE. Technically miles better. Utd’s greatest ever keeper
All the while Chelsea went and got Peter cech. Big epl clubs were sleeping at the wheel
My GOAT of keepers, I was too young for Peter unfortunately
I had the yellow GK that VDS wore, I got it signed by Welbeck and Smalling in a BK outside Manchester 😆!
Super nice gents, they waited 15-20 minutes after beating Sunderland 1-0, while I scrambled for a pen with my dad
Extraordinary man and outstanding keeper. If not the best, I'say almost as he was a goat for us. We miss him ❤
He is definitely better than France Manchester United goal keeper Fabien Barthez. He is as good as Peter scmeichel.
How the hell did Fulham manage to sign him?
Pretty sure he still holds the record for minutes without conceding
My Hero ❤
One of the greatest goal keepers ever, criminally underrated. Absolutely unbelievable player.
He doesn't yell at his defense…they link to each other.
Love Edwin as a Keeper but shouldn't be allowed talk, ever.
Harsh to slag Fulham and other keeps on this documentary, I thought we should have bought him earlier when he was at Fulham.
True Leader of Man United Defence. A golden era it was.
Brilliant goalkeeper. Legend
best GK ever
Crazy how the best of players crumble under the pressure of being a Man United Starting XI player. All those GK transfers before VDS joined.
Another Wenger failure, going for the likes of Almunia instead.
Finally a Van Der Saar video, criminally underrated,belongs in the goat conversation
실력도 인성도 최고의 선수
Bert needs to check out Partridge. He’s amazing.
Alisson is the best PL keeper since Schmeichel.
Legend United's best keeper for me.
I think Ed was as good for Utd as big Pete
Traducción escrita al español por favor… 🙏🙏🙏
He is authoritative yet calming at the same time…they don't make keepers like Schmichel, Van Der Sar or Buffon anymore,do they? Just a pity he joined us in 2006,would have loved him to have joined us in 1999 after the Big Dane left…that would have spared us so many heartbreaks n we would have won more silverwares. Still,better late than never.
Took few years to get a keeper that was on same level as Schmeichel and in Van de sar we got one who was just as good some mite say better?? He brought a level of calmness qnd authority just class in every department. And some say it was pity we didn't sign before he went to Fulham but them few years of premier league experience he got before coming to utd probably served him well 👌
Great goalkeeper ❤
Van der sar didnt replace peter, he surpased him.
