Famous Fulham Players: No 39 Edwin van der Sar

Last updated : 04 July 2010 By Kevin Markey

2001-05, 143 appearances

Probably one of the three or four best players to have worn a Fulham shirt, but marked down because he wasn't with us that long and is more famous for his work elsewhere: Ajax; Juventus; Fulham; Manchester United, with over 100 Holland caps sprinkled throughout. Quite a career. Have we, before or since, signed a player of such ability at the peak of his powers?
