Peter Schmeichel - greatest goalkeeper of all time?

In the recent news, Manchester United continues to seek a replacement for the current Dutchman, Edwin Van Der Sar. Whether his replacement is going to be German or a Spaniard, we all hope that his replacement would be as good as Edwin... and perhaps emulate the greatest goalkeeper of all time, Peter Schmeichel.

That's Edwin van der Sar.

Peter Bolesław Schmeichel MBE (born 18 November 1963) is a retired Danish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and was voted the "World's Best Goalkeeper" in 1992 and 1993. He is best remembered for his most successful years at English club Manchester United, whom he captained to the 1999 UEFA Champions League to complete The Treble, and for winning UEFA Euro 1992 with Denmark.

He holds the record for the greatest clean sheets-to-games ratio in the Premier League with 42% of the games he played in the league ending without his team conceding.


Here's a video of Peter Schmeichel scoring a goal... LOL. =)
