Edwin Van Der Sar Quotes

For us at Ajax, it is all about football.
I accept that I didn't play very well in Italy for the two years. It was lower than my Ajax standard. I don't know why.
I always said I wanted to finish my career back at Ajax, but I didn't think I was going to play for so long at such a high level, so that's not going to happen now.
I am 40 years old, but I still feel fit.
I am delighted to have signed for Manchester United, one of the most famous clubs in the world.
I am not worried about being a legend, like Solskjaer; you do your bit, and that's what counts.
I can't sleep at night when I think about the FA Cup!
I didn't find it hard to settle at United because there was a great bunch of players, great staff, and a good atmosphere at the club.
I don't hate the idea of retirement. I am looking forward to it.
I don't think there was a single United player from 2009 who could say he gave it everything and played well.
I get great respect from the United fans and the directors and the people who are there still when you go there. It is a very warm club, very comparable to Ajax, only they have grown internationally amazingly.
I have won things in my career, and people ask why that's not enough. But there can always be more.
I know I'm a good goalkeeper.
I remember that, often, Mike Phelan would just nip down to the touchline for a message to one or two players. It was usually just a tactical thing. But when Sir Alex comes to the touchline, all the players know that it's serious stuff.
I remember, when I was 24, I said 34 was going to be the limit I will play to. But as everyone says, the older you get, the longer you want to go on because it gives you so much satisfaction.
I share a special bond with Ajax. I think we are a special club. And we're known for our philosophy around the world.
I signed for Ajax in 1989 when I was still at school.
I think England's always good at making something special.
I think every player gives a bit extra when he sees that his manager is fighting, too.
I think there are always a lot of rumours about players from Ajax. We develop great players, not only in Amsterdam but hopefully also in Cape Town, and there is interest in a lot of our players, but we like to keep them for as long as possible.
