Top 5: Premier League’s Greatest Dutchmen

3. Edwin Van Der Sar

At number three, we have possibly the greatest goalkeeper to ever play in the Premier League, Edwin Van Der Sar.

The legendary shot stopper first entered the league in 2001, having joined Fulham from Juventus for £7.1m.

Although he would establish himself as a good Premier League ‘keeper, the accolades did not come his away until 2006 where he earned a move to English giants, Manchester United. Individually, he broke a number of records, including going 1,311 minutes in the league without conceding a goal, which would also become a world record.

He also won Best European Goalkeeper in 2009, and was included in the PFA Team of the year three times in his Manchester United career.

At 40 years and 205 days old, he also became the oldest man to win the Premier League. Collectively, he also won 25 trophies, which includes two Champions League triumphs and four Premier League titles.

This tally makes him the second most decorated goalkeeper of all-time in terms of trophies won.
