profiles representing Manchester United 

Edwin van der Sar (Goalkeeper. Age: 44. Apps/Gls: 266/0): One of the greatest goalkeepers ever to play for the club, he joined from Fulham in 2005 and broke the world clean-sheet record in 2008/09 by not conceding a goal for 1,311 minutes. He always exuded calm and was very comfortable with the ball at his feet. Best moment: Becoming the shoot-out hero in the Champions League final in Moscow in 2008. 
Raimond van der Gouw (Goalkeeper. Age: 52. Apps/Gls: 48(12)/0): Dependable deputy snapped up from Vitesse Arnhem, who was with the club between 1996 and 2002, and became United's oldest player since the War during his final season. Best moment: Performing superbly in a 2-1 victory at Highbury in 1999, making a couple of startling saves. 
Clayton Blackmore (Defender. Age: 50. Apps/Gls: 201(44)/26): Welshman who progressed through the ranks to make his debut in 1984. His versatility proved a real asset for Sir Alex Ferguson and he was renowned for having a cannonball shot that troubled many a goalkeeper. Looked most at home at full-back. Best moment: The goalline clearance from Michael Laudrup in the dying embers of the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup final after scoring at Montpellier in an earlier round. 
Dion Dublin (Defender. Age: 46. Apps/Gls: 6(11)/3): The first man to score a winning goal for the club in the Premier League, the centre-forward broke his leg against Crystal Palace soon afterwards but contributed to the memorable Double-winning season in 1993/94. Left the club for Coventry City, where he won a share of the Golden Boot in 1997/98. Moved into a defensive role later in his career. Best moment: The late strike at Southampton in 1992 that got United off and running in the new division.
