5 players who have a legendary status at 2 different clubs

#4 Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo attained legendary status at AC Milan and Juventus

Many remember Andrea Pirlo for his masterful performances in the Juventus shirt. The midfield maestro spent the majority of the latter parts of his career in Turin, where he emerged as multiple Serie A winner with the Bianconeri.

However, even before attaining legendary status at Juventus, Pirlo had already made his name with fellow Italian giants AC Milan. He played over 400 games for the Rossoneri, winning the Serie A and UEFA Champions League twice apiece.

Pirlo’s class in midfield distinguished him from other players and, interestingly, like fine wine, he got better and better with age. It’s not easy to get into the Milan and Juve teams, let alone becoming a legend for both. But Pirlo did just that.

#3 Edwin van der Sar

van der Sar is rated as one of the most gifted goalkeepers of his generation

Just like Johan Cruyff, Edwin van der Sar began his career at Ajax. The goalkeeper was part of the club’s golden generation at the time which included the likes of Clarence Seedorf, Patrick Kluivert, Frank de Boer, and Edgar Davids.

He played over 300 games for Ajax, winning four Eridivisie titles, three KNVB Cups, a UEFA Cup and a UEFA Champions League. Winning it all with Ajax undoubtedly made him a club legend.

However, a move to Juventus threatened to set him back, before he rejuvenated his career at Manchester United, via a move from Fulham. The Dutch goalkeeper endured a hugely successful spell at Old Trafford, where he won multiple Premier League titles as well as the Champions League in 2008.
