Van der Sar’s legendary career
Starting his career at Ajax, the Dutchman was part of the legendary Ajax squad that won the 1995 Champions League title under coach Louis van Gaal. He was part of the group that consisted of Patrick Kluivert, Clarence Seedorf, and several others. He would then reach another Champions League final in 1996 before losing to his eventual future club Juventus.
In 1999 he made his switch to Turin and was part of the team that had domestic success while playing for Juventus. However, the summer of 2001 saw a football upside-down after Real Madrid splashed the cash in the transfer market. Real paid Juventus a world-record fee to get the services of Zinedine Zidane which saw the Old Lady acquire several players including Pavel Nedvěd and Gianluigi Buffon.
The latter’s arrival for a record deal for a goalkeeper saw Van der Sar force an exit to Fulham where he continued until 2005. With Manchester United struggling to get a perfect fit for a good goalkeeper, then legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson signed the Dutch shot-stopper despite being 34 and would help the club win Premier League on three consecutive occasions while helping the team win the Champions League shootout against Chelsea in 2008.
