(A happy Edwin is pictured above holding aloft the Champions League trophy after United's victory against Chelsea in the 2008 final. The Dutchman proved to be the hero of the hour, with his save from Chelsea's seventh kick, by Nicolas Anelka, winning the cup for the Red Devils for the third time in their history.)
