Talk:Edwin van der Sar

message: I think the reference to the rumour Van Der Sar may be cheating on his wife should be removed- it's libelous, and totally unsupported.  I can't seem to do it though- it doesn't appear on the edit page, just in the article itself.  Does it need a moderator or something?AM Glen 19:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see it.  I did revert something about him and van Nistelrooy being gay partners, though.  Is that what you mean?  x42bn6 Talk 16:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: reference to the rumour

message: "He is one of the most identifiable keepers in Europe because of his height (1.97 m/6' 5½")."
All keepers are big! Why is 1.97 m remarkable!
:I have removed this comment as his height is not really that remarkable for a goalkeeper, he is tall even for this position but not remarkably so (there are several taller keepers in the Premiership that I can think of, Chris Kirkland for example). Rje 19:34, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
shay given???
1m and same of mm
Chris Kirkland is at least two inches shorter than Edwin van der Sar. Kirkland's height is mostly noted as 6'3"/191cm. Volkov talk 16:19, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: To the person who reverted my edit (86.133.35.212): Edwin van der Sar is referred to as VDS by Man Utd fans, just as Ruud Van Nistelrooy was referred to as RVN. Either explain why VDS isn't a valid nickname or stop removing it from the article. Kronix1986 01:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: did you reference it? might be why it was reverted. tbh, though, i'm a man utd fan, and i have never ever heard him referred to as VDS, nor ruud being referred to as RVN... a select few fans does't warrant a nickname. technically a nickname is someone his friends will call him, not a bunch of people that don't know him! 77.97.18.22 (talk) 22:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Is the surname with a capital V when written separately? The article uses both forms.--Svetovid 00:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on how you use it. If you use just the surname it is Van der Sar, but when you use his full name it should always be Edwin van der Sar. Knurftendans 01:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not entirely correct. From the perspective of someone who works with and develops datastandards in the Netherlands a dutch name consists of three elements. First name | prefix | Last name. Prefix is not mandatory of course but should always be written in lower case. Exceptions are parts of names which seem like prefixes but are in fact part of the last name. However, no dutch names have this exception. Normally the name should always be 'van der Sar' except when used in the beginning of a sentence of course. Leekah (talk) 19:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, but you are wrong. A prefix is capitalized if no first name precedes it. See e.g. Tussenvoegsel, or [], if you read Dutch.Erik (talk) 23:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi all,
Van der Sar - 2nd paragraph: Van der Sar was named best European goalkeeper in 1995, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Casillas - When clicking on the link "Best European Goalkeeper" in the 2nd paragraph of Van der Sar you will see that the list is showing Iker Casillas as winner in 2009 and 2010. 
Casillas' Wikipedia page says he won the price for best goalkeeper in Europe in 2008 and 2010, rather inconsistent.
The Real Madrid website shows that Casillas won the award in 2008 and 2009. The inconsistency is complete.
Sourcve: http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/1193041476158/1193041476328/jugador/Jugador/Casillas.htm
Could someone find out who won the award for best European goalkeeper in the last 5 years?

I have found content for some of :Edwin van der Sar's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version.
