Edwin Van der Saar has followed the foot steps of Peter the great Danes Schmiechel after he has been named as UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year yesterday. The 38 years old red hot shot stopper has beaten others 2 nominees Petr Cech of Chelseal and Victor Valdes of Barca.
Its clearly that the big dutch is the best goalkeeper after making a history in English football with record breaking 1,334 minutes without conceding in the league and only 3 goals past in the Champions League from the group stage to the semis.
"I've had quite a long career and won a couple of prizes with different clubs," Van der Sar said of his prize. "To get an individual award, and something as big as this, is a nice experience and a great honour."
"The award couldn't have gone to a better professional," Sir Alex told ManUtd.com. "Edwin's dedication to football in the last few years has been absolutely unbelievable."It's an award that is thorougly deserved and I think everyone in football will applaud that."
The award has been running by the UEFA committee to honored the best UEFA club player of the year which has been awarded to Messi of Barca, the best defender is awarded to UNITED fans favourite, Mr. Chelseal, John crying Terry who beat our rock solid Nemanja Vidic (although i dont understand how can BPL winner and Champions league finalist could not win). The best midfielder won by Xavi also from Barca and the best foward also goes to Barca's Messi.
