(The pictures above show Edwin during the 2009 Champions League final against Barcelona. It proved to be a night to forget for United with Barcelona taking the honours thanks to a thorougly deserved 2-0 win. Van Der Sar had been hoping to complete a hat-trick of Champions League successes following his previous victories with Ajax in 1995 and United in 2008.)
