Finidi George at 50: Kluivert, Van der Sar and Van Gaal lead emotional tributes to Ajax legend

Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, Edwin Van der Sar, Patrick Kluivert and a host of Ajax legends have sent their wishes to Finidi George on his 50th birthday.

The former Nigeria international was a key figure in the Eredivisie team that silenced AC Milan to lift the 1994–95 Champions League title.

And to celebrate his golden jubilee, Ajax compiled a video involving members of the all-conquering side to congratulate their former right-winger.
