Edwin van der Sar is a legendary figure in the beautiful game. He has represented clubs like Manchester United and Ajax, making over 800 appearances in his club career. He is a two-time UEFA Champions League winner.
Apart from that, the former goalkeeper represented the Netherlands 130 times during his professional career.
During his professional career, Edwin van der Sar has played under several top managers. He played under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United during his illustrious stint at the Old Trafford club.
He made 266 appearances under the legendary manager, winning four Premier League titles, among other honors.
