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 went 1,311 minutes without conceding in the Premier League during the 2008–09 season — a record that still stands. He won four Premier League titles with Manchester United and saved Nicolas Anelka's decisive penalty in the 2008 Champions League Final shootout. He began his career at Ajax (winning the 1995 Champions League) and moved to Juventus, Fulham, and finally United at 34. His late-career peak proved that experience can compensate for declining athleticism in the most complete manner imaginable.
