Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand admits it's a pleasure playing in front of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
Ferdinand insists there is so much more to the 40-year-old than using those big hands to keep the ball out of United's net.
The England star told The Sun: "In today's football you've got to be good with your feet whatever position you are, even if you're a keeper.
"You can be the best shot stopper in the world but if you haven't got good feet at Manchester United, you aren't going to survive.
"Edwin is brilliant whether the ball comes on his left or right foot.
"He's the best keeper I've seen with his feet and the best I've played with full-stop. He sweeps everything up and, as a defender, you can be totally confident giving the ball back to him.
"He's brilliant, he talks, he's a studier of the game and he understands it all. He makes you feel comfortable when you've got him behind you.
"He's calm and cool and we have a great partnership."
