The best shirts of Edwin van der Sar's career For his 50th birthday, we retrace his career through his best uniforms

Edwin van der Sar has represented the Dutch hope for many years, the certainty of having these poles one of those you can trust. Ajax, his first great team, know this and have entrusted him with the general direction of the club, doing exactly as the "orange" people did for 13 long years. But Edwin van der Sar was more than a goalkeeper, more than an extreme defender. Today "het ijskonijn" aka "The Ice Rabbit" - nickname that was given to him early enough for his agility, but also for his giant ears and imperturbability in decisive moments - the ice rabbit - turns 50 and has never stopped believing in what football can give. As with every goalkeeper, there have been empty exits that have marked his career, but when you look back the former Juventus also sees 2 Champions League - won in two opposing football eras -, 1 Uefa Cup and the title of best goalkeeper in the CL four times.

His career is also made up of great jerseys, of stylistic masterpieces that insert it into that strange and underestimated aesthetic of goalkeepers between two millennia. The best jerseys from the 16 honored years of service in goal of one of the Dutch heroes that future generations will remember.
