Edwin van der Sar
1,311 consecutive PL mins without conceding — still a record. 2008 UCL Final penalty save. 1995 UCL.
Edwin van der Sar holds the Premier League record for the longest unbeaten run without conceding at 1,311 minutes during the 2008–09 season, a mark that still stands unmatched. He won four Premier League titles with Manchester United and saved Nicolas Anelka's decisive penalty in the 2008 Champions League Final shootout. His career began at Ajax, where he won the 1995 Champions League, before moves to Juventus, Fulham, and finally United at age 34. This late-career peak, outperforming #2 Alisson Becker in league longevity, proves that experience can compensate for declining athleticism in the most complete manner.
