The Fifa-approved International Federation of Football History & Statistics lists the 10 best ever goalkeeping spells as follows:
1 Mazaropi (Vasco da Gama, Brazil) 1,816mins
2 Thabet El-Batal (National, Egypt) 1,442mins
3 Dany Verlinden (Club Brugge, Belgium) 1,390mins
4 José María Buljubasich (Universidad Católica Santiago, Argentina) 1,352mins
5 Thabet El-Batal (National, Egypt) 1,325mins
6 Essam El-Hadari (National, Egypt) 1,288mins
7 Abel Resino (Atlético Madrid, Spain) 1,275mins
8 Gaëtan Huard (Bordeaux, France) 1,266mins
9 Zetti (Palmeiras, Brazil) 1,242mins
10 Marios Praxitelous (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus) 1,221mins
In fact Van der Sar is currently 11th, ahead of Porto's Victor Baía (1,191mins) and Levski Sofia's Dimitar Ivankov (1,190mins). Another shut-out against Fulham a week today would see the United man shoot up to 6th, but to take top spot off Mazaropi Van der Sar will have to not concede until United's away game at Wigan on 18 April.
Forget the record, as long as he can make it to the top 10 it would be good enough.
But the problem is, the keepers there aren't facing top teams of the world right?
