I think it was Martin O'Neill was the first time I started and finished a season with the same manager, and that was probably what, six years into my career. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Funny man. Great storyteller.
Speaking to Neville on The Overlap, Van der Sar was asked to name the best manager he played under and chose his former Ajax boss Louis van Gaal. Neville was left stunned by the selection and suggested Ferguson instead, but Van der Sar simply stuck to his pick. Van der Sar played under Van Gaal for eight seasons at Ajax and was part of the squad that lifted the Champions League title in 1994-95.
