Stars give Van der Sar dream farewell

EDWIN VAN DER SAR enjoyed a memorable send-off as the recently-retired goalkeeper bid farewell at a testimonial evening at a packed Amsterdam ArenA last night.

Stars give Van der Sar dream farewell

The 40-year-old, who called time on his career at the end of last season after more than two decades representing Holland, Ajax, Juventus, Fulham and Manchester United, took part in two friendly matches last night, both of which ended in victory for the veteran custodian.

He first kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win for a 1995 Ajax side against a 1998 Holland team, Marc Overmars scoring the only goal with a superb strike, before then helping his Dream Team claim a 2-1 win over a current Ajax side soon after.
