Van Der Sar back in action

Nice to see Van der Sar back in the game! Bit unusual though....

The best GK to ever play the game IMO.

Better than Schmeichel? He is certainly up there for me, so reliable.

Yes, better than Schmeichel.

His calmness, reliability, never injured, distribution

To be fair he probably couldn't have had 'that' Schmeichel game against Newcastle away in 1996. But he didn't need to.

VDS was just awesome. Remember hoping we bought him in 1999.

Yeah don't think he was as good as Schmeichel at his best, but agree he was as reliable goalkeeper I have ever seen.

No way mate. But then it's about preference.

I just love VDS. Absolutely love him.

van der saar brought calmness to our team, de gea is a better shot stopper then van der saar as is schmeichel but van der saar didn't drop to many clangers so he did his job.

Both were class, but I've never seen a goalkeeper with such an influence over a team. When Schmeichel and Keane started shouting, you knew something was up.

More reliable than Schmeichel. Better goalkeeper? No.

Weird concept in the video. Would be much harder than it looks to score over a river with no run up whatsoever.

Van Der Sar should've stayed for one more year, and had DeGea as his No2. Imagine how much quicker DeGea's progression would've been had he VDS to show him the ropes
