| Date of birth | 29 October 1970 |
| Place of birth | Voorhout |
| Nationality | Dutch |
| Weight | 83 kg |
| Height | 1.97 m |
| Position | Goalkeeper |
When Edwin signed from Fulham in July 2005, Alex Ferguson knew he had obtained a top goalkeeper and was only sorry that he had not signed him when Peter Schmeichel left in the summer of 1999.
Since being signed he has proved a wonderful, safe, alert keeper capable of 'impossible' saves.
In 2008-09, he set a new British record by keeping 14 consecutive clean sheets in League matches, helping United (and himself) to a third consecutive League title.
His penalty save against Chelsea in the Champions League Final in Moscow (2008) helped bring another trophy to Old Trafford.
Edwin's contract at Fulham was extended to June 2006 in January 2005.
He joined Manchester United in July 2005 with a two-year contract that was extended to June 2008 in December 2006 and to June 2009 in December 2007, then to June 2010 in December 2008 and to June 2011 in February 2010.
