We all just knew what this magical sequence was going to end with. Brilliant. I remember being right behind the goal at Fulham when Van the Man played for the Londoners and he saved an 'unstoppable' volley from Ryan Giggs (in a 3-2 win for United). I thought then, this guy is very far from 'past it'. Sign him up, Fergie, sign him up! If only he had done so a little earlier...

I remember watching him at Ajax, i said to my old fella, we should sign him. We had the great dane, who was a little bit better imo, but he was older and when his time was up, Edwin would be the perfect replacement. Well it turned out I was right for once, he has been the best keeper since Pete. We should have signed him earlier.

Happy Birthday Edwin.

That Anelka save will remain with me for eternity- the hand movements pointing which way, the save, the reaction- amazing

World Class VDS - always felt we should have signed him back in 1999 to replace the great Dane - would have saved all that heartache with the clowns we bought before getting this great man in 2005.

@Kings

I agree, we would have more trophies in the museum had VDS replaced Schmeichel rather than Bosnich, Howard, Carroll, Taibi, Barthez etc etc etc etc!

He is very much like Scholes a lot I feel. He is this very brooding, silent type who rarely says a lot and doesn't grab too much attention for himself. IMO, he is in direct contrast to The Great Dane. It really says a lot when we can have two different characters on the field in one position, but still be regarded as awesome legends in their own right.

I still regard that save off Anelka as my favorite Manchester United moment. It was great because I started supporting only in 2000, so was just late for the most amazing night of 99. It was my first CL victory as a fan and it came off a wonderful save by Edwin. Thanks for that amazing moment and millions of more in the past and still to come, Edwin!

I never really rated VDS that much, before he came to United, but he's been a class keeper for United.

Wish we had signed him earlier instead of experiementing with Howard, that ended in disaster. Happy Birthday VDS! Hopefully he can extend his Utd career to a further 2 years, he is still one of the best at what he does.
