And I want to pick out particularly the four Eredivisie titles, four Premier League titles, but the line above there, Champions League winner with two different titles.
Ajax in 1995, Manchester United in 2008.
They were two of five Champions League finals that Edwin van der Sar actually played in, which is pretty extraordinary.

So set the scene for us.
This is your only your second season as a goalkeeper for Ajax.

And it made you a man in demand in 1999.
You got your move to Juventus and then to Fulham, coming back into the Premier League for the first time.
And after four seasons there, Manchester United, where you experienced yet more glory, winning four league titles and another Champions League title as well.
And that is the team that won it.

Take that.
Here we go.
