Breaking van der Sar's streak

coolblue007 · January 31, 2009

OK, he's not conceded in what 1,031 minutes of football? If MU's Edwin van der Sar keeps a clean sheet for at least 73 minutes today, he'll have the Football League record.

Former Netherlands goalkeeper Van der Sar, 38, can break the Football League record for not conceding a goal -- set by Reading's Steve Death in 1978-79 -- if he denies Everton for 73 minutes at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Obviously, we'd all like to see that streak stopped short ... win, lose or tie.

So, who do you think will break that streak, and how?

I'm going to go with Lescott in the 68th on a poke-in following a mad scramble.

STEVE DEATH !! What a cool name.

I hope we get one past Van der Sar just so Mr Death can keep hold of the record.

I was thinking just that. We must look out for Death

I think Van der Sar is undertaking a huge task beating that record

Van de Sar does have the ability and the defence in front of him to achieve it. Like wise it is not beyond the realm of impossibility for us not to score even we may lose the match. Comes down IMO what team will be today.
