Schmeichel began his career with Manchester City, but had loan spells with Darlington, Bury and Falkirk before he made his first-team debut. Although Schmeichel appeared to have made the City number 1 shirt his own at the start of the 2007–08 season, the emergence of Joe Hart resulted in Schmeichel being loaned to Cardiff City. The signing of Republic of Ireland international Shay Given in 2009 meant that Schmeichel fell even further down the pecking order at City, and he was allowed to link up with former manager Sven-Göran Eriksson at Notts County. He spent only one season with the Magpies as, while it was a very successful one for the club and the player himself, changes to the club’s financial position made his departure necessary and his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Schmeichel joined Leeds United in 2010, but again, his tenure at the club would only last one season before he was the subject of a transfer to Leicester City, where he would again work under Eriksson. Schmeichel went on to make 479 competitive appearances for Leicester over 11 years, during the most successful era in the club’s history, winning the Championship in the 2013–14 season, the Premier League in 2015–16, FA Cup in 2020–21 and the FA Community Shield in 2021.

Schmeichel played seventeen games for Denmark under-21s. He was called up to the Denmark national team for the first time in 2011, and was part of their squad at UEFA Euro 2012, but did not make his senior debut until 2013. He represented his country at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2020 and 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Early lifeEdit

Formative years and educationEdit

Kasper Schmeichel was born on 5 November 1986 in Copenhagen, Denmark.[6] He is the son of Bente and former Denmark international goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, and is of Polish descent through his paternal grandfather.[7]

Schmeichel grew up in Denmark during his early years but spent most of his childhood living in England due to his father’s playing career. Kasper is a native speaker of both Danish and English, the latter of which he speaks with a Northern-English accent. He attended Hulme Hall Grammar School in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, Greater Manchester, and he also attended Saint Julian’s School in Portugal while his father played for Sporting CP in Lisbon. When Alex Bruce, son of Kasper’s father’s former Manchester United teammate Steve Bruce, joined Kasper at Leeds United, the move saw the two players re-unite after both had previously played football together on the streets as children after school.[8]

Youth-team careerEdit

Schmeichel started playing organised football in Portugal in 2000, while his father was part of Sporting CP. He played one season in the Estoril youth academy, in which he managed to win a championship.[9] Commenting on his early footballing years, Schmeichel remarked: «Before [Estoril], it wasn’t that serious. I have to admit that when I was very small, football did not interest me that much. It was mostly in short periods that it was fun, and then I had enough. So it only started to take shape when I was 12-13 years old».[9]

In 2001, Schmeichel moved to Denmark where he attended Oure Efterskole, an efterskole or voluntary independent residential school for young people finishing their primary education.[5] Schmeichel said in an interview with Euroman in 2014: «At Oure, I was part of an environment and met a coach who made me want to develop even more as a goalkeeper».[10] Schmeichel, at the time, was described as hard-working and dedicated by coach Bo Pedersen.[11] While enrolled at Oure, Schmeichel trialled with Brøndby IF,[12] but would instead move to Manchester City after another successful trial.[12]

Club careerEdit

Manchester CityEdit

Schmeichel joined Manchester City in September 2002 on a long-term contract, which covered schoolboy, scholar and professional terms.[13] He joined League Two side Darlington on a loan deal in January 2006,[14] where he made his professional first-team debut against Peterborough United at the Darlington Arena on 14 January 2006. Darlington won the game 2–1, with Schmeichel conceding a goal to Peterborough striker James Quinn.[15] He gained his first clean sheet three days later against Grimsby Town. He made two further appearances before returning to Manchester City.

One month after returning to Manchester City he was loaned out again, this time to Bury in February,[16] where he made 15 appearances in a three-month loan spell. He returned to Bury for a further three months the following season.[17]

Schmeichel joined Scottish Premier League side Falkirk on loan from January 2007 until the end of the 2006–07 season.[18] He was named man of the match against Rangers on 18 February 2007. He also saved a Craig Beattie penalty in a 1–0 win over Celtic on 18 March 2007.[19] He revealed in May he would have liked his loan at Falkirk extended, and the club expressed an interest in signing him.[20][21]

Schmeichel made his Manchester City debut against West Ham United in August 2007.[22] He played against City’s rivals and his boyhood team Manchester United on 19 August 2007 and kept a clean sheet in City’s 1–0 home win.[23] Schmeichel saved a penalty from Arsenal’s Robin van Persie on 25 August 2007 at the Emirates Stadium. Despite City losing 1–0 to Arsenal he was named man of the match. He played the first seven of Manchester City’s games in the 2007–08 Premier League, keeping clean sheets against Manchester United, West Ham, Aston Villa and Derby County, conceding only five goals.[24]

He signed a new four-year deal with City in September 2007.[25] This was then followed up with an agreement to go on a one-month loan with Championship side Cardiff City on 25 October 2007.[26] He made his debut for Cardiff on 27 October 2007 in a 1–1 draw with Scunthorpe United.[27] He was named 2007 Danish Under-21 Talent of the Year.[28]

Towards the end of the loan spell, Schmeichel requested that he would be allowed to stay on at Cardiff for a longer period and on 22 November, the loan spell was extended until the new year, with manager Sven-Göran Eriksson stating that he could possibly stay at the club for the rest of the season providing Manchester City do not suffer an injury crisis.[29] After Eriksson named Joe Hart as the number one goalkeeper at Manchester City, however, Andreas Isaksson requested a transfer. This meant that Eriksson would not allow Cardiff to keep Schmeichel after his initial loan period ended on 2 January.[30] On 31 December, Eriksson threw Cardiff a lifeline by opening talks for Schmeichel to stay at Ninian Park. Schmeichel would be allowed to stay for two more matches should Isaksson not move until late in the January transfer window. Schmeichel had stated he would like to play for Cardiff again in the future.[31][32] Schmeichel, however, returned to Eastlands the day after his initial loan expired.[33]

He joined Coventry City on loan until the end of the season on 13 March.[34] Towards the end of the season, his father, Peter Schmeichel, commented during a TV interview that his son was not happy at Manchester City and was set to leave following the end of the season.[35]

Despite wanting to leave, Schmeichel returned to the City of Manchester Stadium at the end of the season and changed to the number 16 shirt. He repeatedly stated that he wanted to leave City and regretted signing a four-year contract.[36]

Schmeichel during a match against Arsenal in 2007

On 16 November, Schmeichel entered a game as a substitute after Joe Hart injured his ankle in the 14th minute. City went on to a 2–2 result with Hull City.[37] In December 2008, Schmeichel played his last game for Manchester City in a UEFA Cup match against Racing de Santander.[38]

Notts CountyEdit

On 14 August 2009, Schmeichel signed for League Two side Notts County in a deal that is believed to have broken the club’s previous transfer record. The transfer reunited Schmeichel with his former Manchester City manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson, who had recently been appointed director of football for Notts.[39] He was the highest paid player at the club, earning £1 million annually.[40] He made his debut on 22 August and kept a clean sheet in the side’s 3–0 win against Dagenham & Redbridge. In September 2009, Schmeichel almost scored with an audacious overhead kick against Morecambe when he came up from a corner late on in the game.[41]

A fine string of performances in October earned Schmeichel the Player of the Month award.[42] During Schmeichel’s stay at The Magpies, the club conceded only 0.67 goals per League 2 match (29 goals conceded in 43 league appearances). Schmeichel’s clean-sheets-to-game-ratio at Notts County was an impressive 55.8 percent (24 out of 43 league appearances).[43] On 27 April, Schmeichel and Notts County secured the 2009–10 League Two title and promotion to League One with a 5–0 win against already relegated Darlington.[44][45] Shortly before the game, it was announced that Notts County agreed to release Schmeichel at the end of the season despite having four years left on his contract. The reasoning behind this was financial: Schmeichel earned a reported £15,000 per week, having been signed during the brief ownership period of high-spending Munto Finance in the summer 2009. Schmeichel agreed to forgo all his future wages, something which chairman Ray Trew described as «a huge concession by such a young man».[46]

Leeds UnitedEdit

On 27 May 2010, having been linked with both Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, Schmeichel signed a two-year contract with Leeds United, joining the club on 1 July 2010.[47] Schmeichel was given the number 1 shirt at Leeds for the 2010–11 season and was made Leeds’ first choice goalkeeper for the forthcoming season, ahead of Shane Higgs. He made his debut for the club on Saturday 7 August 2010 in Leeds’ opening Football League Championship match against Derby County. Despite Leeds losing 2–1, Schmeichel put in an impressive performance, making several crucial saves during the match.[48] After a string of impressive games for Leeds, Schmeichel was nominated for the August Championship Player of the Month award, but lost out to Queens Park Rangers winger Adel Taarabt.[49] Schmeichel, however, did win Sky Sports Championship Player of the Month award for August.[50]

After picking up a tendon injury in his foot, Schmeichel missed the game against Swansea City and was ruled out of Leeds’ next few games.[51] While out injured, Schmeichel appeared on Soccer AM as one of the guests on the show.[52] After just under two months out, Schmeichel returned to the Leeds starting line-up against Cardiff City. He was set to play against Coventry City on 6 November, but due to the birth of his first child the night before, he missed the game.[53]

On 8 January 2011, Schmeichel helped Leeds earn a 1–1 draw against Arsenal in the FA Cup Third Round match at the Emirates Stadium.[54] After the match, Arsenal captain Cesc Fàbregas commented that Schmeichel should have received the match ball for his performance.[55] Although Leeds lost the replay 3–1, Schmeichel produced another impressive display (nearly scoring himself via a header) and he was subsequently named player of the FA Cup Third Round.[56]

On 27 June 2011, Leeds announced they had accepted an undisclosed bid for him from Leicester City.[57] With Schmeichel wanting to stay at Leeds for the remainder of his contract, he admitted that the decision to sell him was a real shock.[58][59][60] However, Schmeichel said that moving to Leeds was the wrong move for him, particularly because he was made to feel unwelcome at the club because of his father’s history.[61]

Leicester CityEdit

2011–12 seasonEdit

On 27 June 2011, Schmeichel was officially confirmed as a Leicester player, signing a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee that reunited him for a second time with his former Manchester City and Notts County manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson.

In the first month of the season, Schmeichel was shown a seemingly needless red card in the 79th minute of Leicester’s away game to Nottingham Forest on 20 August 2011 after receiving two yellow cards for «unsporting conduct». He received the first card for moving the ball from the penalty spot as Forest’s Lewis McGugan was about to take a kick, then received his second for throwing the ball away after the spot kick was successfully converted. After the match, Schmeichel apologized, claiming his back was turned to the referee so did not know he had received the first of the yellow cards. «I didn’t know I had been booked as I had my back to the ref otherwise I would never have done that,» he said on his personal Twitter page.[62][63] Despite this, Schmeichel’s performances for Leicester quickly began earning him plaudits, with his then manager Sven-Göran Eriksson comparing him with England number 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart,[64] and teammate and former England international Paul Konchesky describing him as «one of the best [goalkeepers] he has ever played with».[65] A short-distant reaction save against Portsmouth in November 2011, in particular, earnt Schmeichel praise and was described by Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton as «one of the best saves I have seen in a very long time».[66] and by Leicester manager Nigel Pearson as «a world-class, outstanding save and was very important at that point of the game».[67]

Schmeichel played a total of 52 games overall, making 17 clean sheets and saving four penalties. His performances in the 2011–12 season earned him the club’s Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year awards on 30 April.[68]

2012–13 seasonEdit

Schmeichel’s form in the first half of the 2012–13 season surpassed that of the previous season, keeping 12 clean sheets in 28 games, the most in the league as the Foxes sat second in the table, such performances earning him links with La Liga giants Real Madrid and also leading to his first senior Denmark cap. A particular highlight was a spectacular save against Blackburn Rovers in February. On 16 April 2013, he made his 100th Leicester appearance in a 3–2 win over Bolton Wanderers. Schmeichel’s performances earned him a place in the 2012–13 Championship PFA Team of the Year, alongside club captain Wes Morgan.

2013–14 seasonEdit

During the 2013–14 season, Schmeichel kept nine clean sheets during a 19-game unbeaten run spanning from December to April to help guarantee Leicester promotion from the Championship with six games to spare. Schmeichel’s high quality performances once again led to him being courted by some of world football’s giants, with both Manchester United and Milan being linked with moves for the Danish international during the January transfer window.

In March, TV footage[69] appeared to support Schmeichel’s claim that he had scored what would have been the first goal of his career, when Leicester equalised, in injury time, against Yeovil Town. However, the match officials ruled that his header had not crossed the line and the goal was officially credited[70] to Chris Wood, who followed up to put the ball in the net.

At the end of the 2013–14 season, it was announced that Schmeichel had signed a four-year contract extension until the summer of 2018 with Leicester.[71]

2014–15 seasonEdit

Schmeichel remained the first choice goalkeeper for Leicester’s return to the Premier League, including playing the full 90 minutes in the 5–3 victory against Manchester United on 21 September 2014.[72] In December 2014, Schmeichel suffered a broken metatarsal in training, ruling him out for what was thought at the time to be up to six weeks.[73] While he was out, Leicester signed goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer as a replacement. Schmeichel eventually returned from injury three months later on 21 March 2015, and beat Schwarzer to play in the 4–3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.[74] Clean sheets against Swansea City and Burnley as Leicester won four out of five games in April earned Schmeichel a nomination for the Premier League Player of the Month award.[75] After securing Premier League safety following a goalless draw with Sunderland on 16 May, Schmeichel stated his belief that manager Nigel Pearson should win Manager of the Season and that Pearson is the best manager Schmeichel has played for.[76] Pearson, however, was sacked in the off-season.[77]

2015–16 seasonEdit

Under Pearson’s replacement, Claudio Ranieri, Leicester sat top of the table on Christmas Day.[78] Despite their great start, the team did not keep a clean sheet in their first nine games, prompting Ranieri to offer to buy the squad pizza for their first.[79] The team finally managed their first clean sheet of the season in their tenth game, against Crystal Palace.[80] The team improved defensively, and Schmeichel kept his 12th clean sheet of the season in the reverse fixture against Palace on 19 March.[81] On 2 May 2016, he won the Premier League title at 29 years of age, the same age and same calendar day when his father won Manchester United’s first such title in 1993. On both occasions, the respective teams (Manchester United and Leicester City) clinched the titles by nearest rivals (Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur) not winning.[82][non-primary source needed] The Schmeichels became the only biological father and son to have both won the Premier League, as well as doing so playing in the same position.[83]

2016–17 seasonEdit

Despite rumours of a move away after playing a crucial role in Leicester City’s title in the 2015–16 season, on 6 August 2016, Schmeichel signed a new five-year contract until 2021.[84] Schmeichel made his first appearance of the season in FA Community Shield against the FA Cup winners, Manchester United, and the match ended in a 2–1 defeat for the reigning champions.[85] At the opening of the Premier League, Schmeichel continued his role in the goal ahead of new signing, Ron-Robert Zieler against newly promoted Hull City. Schmeichel was beaten twice as Hull City went on to beat the champions 2–1.[86] After missing three games in September, including a midweek EFL Cup tie against Chelsea, with a minor groin injury, Schmeichel sustained a hand fracture in the first half of a Champions League match at F.C. Copenhagen on 2 November.[87] Despite the injury, Schmeichel finished the game, seeing out a 0–0 draw by making a late save of Andreas Cornelius for his fourth Champions League clean sheet in four matches.[88] After undergoing surgery two days later, Schmeichel was expected to miss six weeks of action, with Zieler taking his place in goal.[89]

On 24 February 2017, reports emerged alleging that Schmeichel was among several teammates who met with chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha following their 2–1 Champions League defeat at Sevilla on 22 February,[90] which led to manager Claudio Ranieri being sacked. Schmeichel denied the claims, describing them as «very hurtful».[91]

In Leicester’s first Champions League campaign, Schmeichel saved a penalty in each leg of the last 16 tie with Sevilla – from Joaquín Correa and Steven Nzonzi respectively – as the Foxes advanced 3–2 on aggregate.[92]

2017–18 seasonEdit

On 26 August 2017, Schmeichel saved a Romelu Lukaku penalty away at Manchester United in the 53rd minute, with the score at 0–0. Leicester would go on to lose the game 2–0.[93] On 31 March 2018, Schmeichel saved a penalty kick in a 2–0 away win over Brighton, the same number his father saved during his time in the competition (three out of 21 Premier League penalties saved).[94] On 14 April 2018, Schmeichel suffered an ankle injury in the 86th minute in a 2–1 home loss against Burnley, resulting in Schmeichel missing Leicester’s final five games of the 2017–18 Premier League season.[95]

2018–19 seasonEdit

On 31 August 2018, Schmeichel signed a new contract with Leicester until June 2023.[96] Schmeichel witnessed the helicopter crash on 27 October 2018 that killed five people including Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.[97] Schmeichel went on to play in every Premier League game for Leicester, making his 300th league appearance for the club and helping them to a 9th-place finish.

2019–20 seasonEdit

Schmeichel played in all 38 Premier League matches, in which he kept 13 clean sheets. Leicester City finished in fifth place and qualified for the next Europa League season.[98]

2020–21 seasonEdit

On 15 May 2021, Schmeichel captained Leicester City to victory over Chelsea 1–0 in the FA Cup Final to win the competition for the first time in their history, the match featuring two saves by Schmeichel that greatly contributed to his team’s triumph.[99]

2021–22 seasonEdit

On 7 August 2021, Schmeichel captained Leicester City to a 1–0 victory over Manchester City in the 2021 FA Community Shield to win the competition for the second time in their history.[100] Schmeichel also captained Leicester City to the club’s first European semi final after being knocked out by Jose Mourinho’s Roma in the Europa Conference League.

NiceEdit

On 3 August 2022, Schmeichel signed for Ligue 1 club Nice.[101][102]

International careerEdit

YouthEdit

While at Manchester City, Schmeichel was called up for the Denmark national under-19 team in August 2004,[103] and made his international debut in a 0–0 draw with Northern Ireland on 2 September 2004.[104] He went on to play eight under-19 internationals until March 2005, competing with Kenneth Stenild and Michael Tørnes for the goalkeeping spot. He was called up for the under-20 team in October 2005,[105] but did not play for the team until October 2006, during his time at Bury.[106] The day after his under-20 debut, Schmeichel was asked to train with the senior Denmark team and was called up as a replacement for injured Theis Rasmussen in the under-21 squad.[107]

Schmeichel was one of the leading players in the team, and was named Danish under-21 Talent of the Year in November 2007, following three clean sheets in the previous four under-21 games.[28] He played a total 17 under-21 internationals in a row from March 2007 to October 2008, racking up seven clean sheets.

SeniorEdit

Following his strong showings for Manchester City in the early 2007–08 season, it was reported on 23 August 2007 that The Football Association (FA) were investigating Schmeichel’s international status, to see if there was any chance of him foregoing his Danish international status in order to play for England.[108] Schmeichel, however, stated that he would only ever play for Denmark.[109]

Schmeichel was called up to the Danish senior team on 13 May 2011 for the first time for the match against Iceland, but remained an unused substitute.[110] On 29 May 2012, he was called up for UEFA Euro 2012 as a third goalkeeper after it became clear that Thomas Sørensen would miss the tournament due to an injury sustained against Brazil.[111] Schmeichel made his senior debut in a 3–0 friendly match defeat to Macedonia at the Philip II Arena on 6 February 2013.[112]

On 15 October 2013, Schmeichel had his first ever senior level game in his native Denmark, when he held an easy clean sheet in Denmark’s 6–0 win against Malta in the last 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier. Denmark were eventually runners-up in the group, finishing six points behind Italy, but they did not progress to the play-offs for the finals as they were the lowest-ranked team of the nine runners-up.[113]

On 5 March 2014, Schmeichel received his third cap for Denmark in their 1–0 friendly defeat against England at Wembley Stadium. Despite defeat, Schmeichel pulled off a string of impressive saves earning plaudits from the media as well as England manager Roy Hodgson.

Schmeichel was selected for the Danish squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where he started in three group stage matches. His clean sheet in the opening match contributed to a Man of the Match award and helped Schmeichel set a new record for minutes without conceding a goal for Denmark, surpassing his father’s record.[114][115] During the Round of 16 match against Croatia, Schmeichel was named Man of the Match after saving a penalty-kick taken by Luka Modrić in extra-time and two penalties during the subsequent shootout, although his opposing counterpart Danijel Subašić saved three penalties in that shootout to eliminate Denmark.[116][117]

On 7 July 2021, in the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2020 against England at Wembley Stadium, Schmeichel saved a penalty from Harry Kane in extra-time, who subsequently scored from the rebound, which proved to be the decisive goal as England prevailed 2–1.[118]

Personal lifeEdit

Schmeichel is married to Stine Gyldenbrand.[119] Together, they have three children: a son born in 2010,[120] a daughter born in 2012,[121] and a second daughter born in 2021.[120]

Schmeichel signed an ambassadorial deal with Precision Goalkeeping on 17 August 2010 which will include the release of the «Schmeichology» Goalkeeping Range.[122]

Born in Gladsaxe, Copenhagen, Schmeichel was 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in) tall and weighed close to 100 kg (15 st 10 lb) during his playing days, and wore specially-made size XXXL football shirts.[2] A fierce competitor, he often loudly criticised perceived mistakes by his defenders.[3] Unusually for a goalkeeper, he scored 11 goals during his career, including one for the national team. He is also the most capped player for the Denmark national team, with 129 games between 1987 and 2001. In addition to Euro 92, he played for his country at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and three additional European Championship tournaments. He captained the national team in 30 matches. He also represented Gladsaxe-Hero, Hvidovre, Brøndby, Sporting CP, Aston Villa and Manchester City in a career that lasted from 1981 until 2003 and yielded 24 trophies.

Regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, he was voted the IFFHS World’s Best Goalkeeper in 1992 and 1993, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics also ranked Schmeichel among the top 10 goalkeepers of the 20th century.[4] In 2001, Schmeichel won a public poll held by Reuters, in which the majority of the 200,000 participants voted him as the best goalkeeper ever, ahead of Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.[5] In 2003, Schmeichel was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his impact on the English game. In March 2004, he was named as one of the «125 greatest living footballers», at the FIFA 100 celebrations. Schmeichel’s son, Kasper, is also a professional goalkeeper, currently playing for Ligue 1 side OGC Nice and the Denmark national team.

Early life[edit]

Schmeichel was born in the Søborggård parish of Gladsaxe, Denmark, to Inger, a Danish nurse, and Antoni «Tolek» Schmeichel, a Polish jazz musician. He held Polish citizenship until November 1971 when he, his father, and his three sisters became Danish citizens.[6]

Schmeichel inherited his middle name – Bolesław – from his great-grandfather.[7] He spent his early years in the town of Buddinge, Copenhagen, and began his football career playing for a team in the adjacent suburb of Høje-Gladsaxe. His first match came on 7 August 1972 at the age of 8.[8] After a two-and-a-half-year unbeaten run, Schmeichel was approached by BK Hero, a team from a few divisions above Høje-Gladsaxe and with one of the largest youth football schemes in Denmark. BK Hero merged with Gladsaxe BK in 1979 to form Gladsaxe-Hero BK, and Schmeichel was presented with the opportunity to play for the Zealand FA’s junior representative team.[9]

Before becoming a professional footballer, Schmeichel had to work a number of jobs to make ends meet. His first job came in the dyeing department of a textile factory, but safety concerns led to his resignation. He then spent 12 months as a cleaner at an old people’s home, before taking up an office job with the World Wildlife Fund. He originally worked in the organisation’s shops, but three weeks after he joined, the store manager left and Schmeichel was promoted to the position of sales manager. Soon after, Schmeichel was called upon to do his four weeks of compulsory military service. However, this coincided with Hvidovre’s summer training camp in Portugal, which he was permitted to go on with the proviso that he completed his military service the following month. Nevertheless, the delicate organisational situation that arose between the WWF, the Danish defence department and Hvidovre prompted Schmeichel to give up working for the WWF. A job with his father-in-law’s flooring firm came next, until he realised that his knees could not support his 15 stone (95 kg) frame for eight hours a day, and he was offered a job with the advertising firm owned by Hvidovre’s chairman, Niels Erik Madsen. This was to be his last job outside football, as he was offered a contract with Brøndby the following spring.[10]

Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Eventually graduating to the Gladsaxe-Hero senior squad, Schmeichel met his first mentor in Svend Aage Hansen, the first team coach at the club, and later to become his father-in-law. With Gladsaxe-Hero already relegated from the Danish Third Division with three games to go, Hansen promoted Schmeichel and six others from the youth team for a match against IF Skjold Birkerød. The team lost 1–0, but Schmeichel received mentions in local newspapers for his personal performance.[11] At the end of the season, Hansen explained to Schmeichel his plan for the future, which involved Schmeichel spending two more seasons with Gladsaxe-Hero BK before moving on to Hvidovre, playing for the Danish national team, and eventually having a successful career abroad. Schmeichel admits that he had received an offer to play for B 1903’s youth team, but he turned it down as the club «seemed a bit boring».[12]

The following season, Gladsaxe-Hero needed only to avoid defeat to Stubbekøbing to prevent relegation from the Danish National League. In the end, Schmeichel played one of the best games of his career and Gladsaxe-Hero won the match. At the end of the game, Hansen’s daughter, Bente, ran onto the pitch and hugged Schmeichel. The two ended up going out as a couple, and they eventually got married.[13]

Despite having the fifth best defence in the league, conceding 40 goals in 30 games,[14] Schmeichel and Hvidovre finished in 14th place and were relegated in 1985. After only a single season, the club bounced right back to the 1st Division, but Schmeichel left the club to join Brøndby.

Brøndby[edit]

Before the 1987 season, Schmeichel joined Brøndby, who finished as runners-up the previous season. In the five seasons that Schmeichel played with Brøndby, they went on to win the 1st Division four times. The climax of his Brøndby career would come in the 1990–91 UEFA Cup, which saw Schmeichel as an important part of the team that reached the semi-finals, keeping seven clean sheets in the competition.[15][16] The club was eliminated from the tournament following a 2–1 away defeat to Roma with a last-minute goal by Rudi Völler.[15] Schmeichel was voted 10th in «The World’s Best Goalkeeper 1991» poll by the IFFHS.[17]

Manchester United[edit]

Schmeichel in July 1991, a few days after signing for Manchester United

Following his showings on the international scene, Manchester United signed Schmeichel on 6 August 1991 for £505,000,[18] a price described in 2000 by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson as the «bargain of the century.»[19] Schmeichel was virtually unknown outside Denmark at the time, especially within the United squad members. Manchester United finished as runners-up in Schmeichel’s first season. and they also won the Football League Cup for the first time in the club’s history. For his performances throughout the season, he was elected «The World’s Best Goalkeeper of 1992» by IFFHS.[20]

In the 1992–93 season, 22 clean sheets from Schmeichel helped United win the Premier League championship, the first time the club had won England’s top trophy in 26 years.[15][21] Schmeichel was once again named «The World’s Best Goalkeeper» in 1993. In January 1994, Schmeichel fell out with Ferguson, as United had squandered a 3–0 lead to draw 3–3 with Liverpool. The two had a row where Schmeichel «said the most horrible things»,[22] and Ferguson considered selling him as a result. A few days later, Schmeichel apologised to his teammates for losing his temper. Ferguson overheard, and decided to retain Schmeichel.[19] Schmeichel and United repeated the Premier League championship win at the end of the season, also capturing the FA Cup.[21] United were denied a domestic treble by losing the 1994 League Cup Final to Aston Villa, a game for which Schmeichel was suspended.[23]

Following a match against Arsenal in November 1996, Schmeichel was accused of racism by Ian Wright. During the game, Schmeichel and Wright had a number of controversies, and at the end of the game, the two players confronted each other on their way off the pitch. After the game, news emerged of a police inquiry into the incident, where it was alleged that Schmeichel had made a racist remark.[24] In March 1997, the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to press any charges.[25]

Schmeichel ended his Manchester United career on a high note, when the club won the Treble (the FA Premier League title, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season). In that year’s FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, Schmeichel saved a penalty kick by Dennis Bergkamp in the last minutes of the game (which Schmeichel revealed he was unaware of time), to send the game into extra time.[15] In the absence of the suspended Roy Keane, he captained United in the UEFA Champions League final in May 1999. German opponents Bayern Munich had a 1–0 lead until the dying minutes of the game, when United received a corner kick. Schmeichel ran into the attack attempting to cause confusion, and Teddy Sheringham scored the equalising goal. A few seconds later, Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored the winner for United to ensure that Schmeichel’s United career ended with a trophy win.[26] Schmeichel cartwheeled gleefully in his area after Solskjær’s winning goal.[21]

With his departure, Manchester United had trouble finding a replacement for him, going through several high-profile goalkeepers including Mark Bosnich, Massimo Taibi, Fabien Barthez, Tim Howard and Roy Carroll, before finally buying Edwin van der Sar, who Sir Alex Ferguson considered the best goalkeeper to have played for the club since Schmeichel.[27]

Sporting CP[edit]

Schmeichel decided to leave English football at the end of the 1998–99 season, as the gruelling 60-game season, which came with playing with a successful club, was threatening to undermine his high standards at the age of 36. Seeking a slower pace of football, he moved to Sporting CP, where he signed a two-year contract.[28] In his first season with the club, he won the 1999–2000 Primeira Liga title, putting an end to the team’s 18 years without a championship. At the end of the 1999–2000 season, Schmeichel and Sporting CP agreed to terminate his contract with a free transfer back to Manchester United verbally agreed. However, Sir Alex Ferguson called the deal off due to turning an eye to the «future», Fabien Barthez. The contract issue with Sporting CP was quickly resolved and he continued for a second season in Portugal.[29]

His second year with Sporting was the first time in 14 years, since his Hvidovre days, that Schmeichel’s club had finished below second place in the league. Schmeichel stated his wish to activate a contract option of a further year at Sporting in January 2001,[30] but eventually decided to leave the club when his contract expired in June 2001.[31]

Aston Villa[edit]

Schmeichel returned to England with Aston Villa in July 2001, signing a one-year contract with the option to extend it by a further year.[32] On 20 October 2001, Schmeichel became the first goalkeeper to score a Premier League goal, in a 3–2 defeat away to Everton;[15] this feat has been repeated just five times since: by Blackburn Rovers’ Brad Friedel on 21 February 2004, also from a corner kick; by Tottenham Hotspur’s Paul Robinson from a free-kick on 17 March 2007; by Everton’s Tim Howard on 4 January 2012; by Stoke City’s Asmir Begović on 2 November 2013; and by Liverpool’s Alisson Becker on 16 May 2021.[33] Schmeichel left Aston Villa after one season after he fell behind Peter Enckelman in the club’s pecking order under new manager Graham Taylor, who had replaced John Gregory in February 2002.[34]

Manchester City[edit]

In 2002, Schmeichel moved to Manchester City on a free transfer.[35][36] He played only one season, in 2002–03. In the Manchester derby, he was never on the losing side; during his nine years with Manchester United, they were unbeaten against Manchester City, while in his single season with City, they won at Maine Road and drew at Old Trafford.[37][38] Schmeichel announced his retirement from football in April 2003.[39][40]

International career[edit]

Schmeichel made his debut for the Denmark national football team in May 1987, under national manager Sepp Piontek, and was selected for UEFA Euro 1988, where he eventually became Denmark’s starting goalkeeper, after initially serving as a back-up to Troels Rasmussen in Denmark’s opening 3–2 defeat to Spain; Denmark lost both of their remaining two matches 2–0 to West Germany and Italy, however, and were eliminated in the first round of the competition.[15]

Under new national manager Richard Møller Nielsen, Schmeichel was Denmark’s starting goalkeeper at the Euro 92 tournament which they went on to win.[16] Although Denmark initially finished behind Yugoslavia in their qualification campaign for the final tournament, the latter nation were banned from the competition, while Denmark replaced them in the finals.[15] Schmeichel made a string of important saves during the tournament,[16] keeping a clean sheet in Denmark’s opening 0–0 draw against England, and producing decisive stops against Eric Cantona and Jean-Pierre Papin in a 2–1 win over France to advance to the last four.[15] In the semi-finals against defending champions the Netherlands, following a 2–2 draw after extra time, he stopped a penalty kick from Marco van Basten – the only miss of the shoot-out – which enabled Denmark to advance to the final in a 5–4 shootout victory.[41] Schmeichel also made several decisive saves in the final, and even held a cross with one hand, keeping a clean sheet in his nation’s 2–0 victory over Germany.[42][43]

In November 1993, Schmeichel and Denmark failed to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as they were tied on points and goal difference with the Republic of Ireland, and went out on goals scored.[15] Schmeichel played for Denmark at Euro 96, hosted by England. The defending European Champions went out in the preliminary group stage, despite delivering results equivalent to the Euro 92 tournament in the first round.[15][44] Under national manager Bo Johansson, Schmeichel was a part of the Danish squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He was one of the leading members of the Danish campaign, which ended in a 3–2 quarter-final defeat to Brazil.[15]

He scored his only goal for the Danish national team, a penalty kick in a 2–2 draw against Belgium, in a June 2000 warm-up match for Euro 2000.[45] He represented Denmark at Euro 2000, where the team was eliminated in the group stage. He announced his retirement from the national team in February 2001,[46] and played his final match (his 129th international appearance)[15] two months later, captaining the side in a 3–0 friendly win over Slovenia at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium; he was substituted in the 65th minute to a standing ovation, replaced by long-time back-up Peter Kjær.[47] He kept a clean sheet in the match.

Style of play[edit]

Schmeichel is widely regarded by pundits, as well as both former and current goalkeeping colleagues, as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and also as Denmark’s greatest goalkeeper ever,[nb 1] and has been described as a modern, talented, world-class, and complete goalkeeper, who also stood out for the longevity of his career.[nb 2] A tall, strong and physically imposing goalkeeper, with a large frame and long reach,[nb 3] as well as excellent reflexes,[58] he was also extremely athletic and agile for a player of his size,[nb 4] and was known for his ability to cover the goal with his trademark «star jump» saves,[21] a technique he reportedly developed from playing handball.[62]

He was highly regarded for his goalkeeping technique, shot-stopping ability, and positioning between the posts, as well as his command of his area, handling, and ability to rush off his line both in one on one situations or when coming out to claim crosses.[nb 5] A courageous and fierce competitor, he was a vocal presence in goal, known for his strong character, mentality, ability to organise his defence, and leadership from the back, as well as for his criticism of his defenders whenever they made mistakes.[nb 6] He was also effective at stopping penalties.[15] In addition to his goalkeeping ability, he was also known for his capacity to read the game, as well as his adeptness with the ball at his feet, and his distribution and ability to launch swift counter-attacks with his long and accurate throws and kicks. Unusually for a goalkeeper, he would often go up for corner kicks in the opposition’s area when his team were trailing, and scored 11 goals in his career.[nb 7] An example of this was when he was playing for Manchester United in a UEFA Cup match against Rotor Volgograd at Old Trafford in September 1995. He scored in the last minutes of the game to tie the match 2–2, though United were eliminated from the tournament on the away goals rule.[45]

Later career[edit]

In December 1999, Schmeichel became the owner of his childhood club Hvidovre IF,[66] but withdrew from the club in June 2002.[citation needed]

Schmeichel worked as a pundit for the BBC after retiring, being a regular analyst on Match of the Day until 2005. He then began hosting live UEFA Champions League matches on Danish television channel TV3+, with Preben Elkjær and Brian Laudrup the studio pundits. However, he still works occasionally as a pundit for the BBC.

He also took part in Soccer Aid, and played for the Rest of the World team, who lost 2–1 after he was substituted at half-time. Schmeichel was a contestant on the 2006 series of the BBC’s popular Saturday night TV programme Strictly Come Dancing, but was voted out by the public on his 43rd birthday. He also appeared on The Weakest Link in the UK, but he was voted off as the weakest link in the first round.

On 31 August 2007, an investor group including Schmeichel announced their intention to invest DKK 250 million (€33.5 million) in the football club Brøndby IF and make him sports director. This was announced in a press conference in Danish at a hotel in Copenhagen. The offer fell through when Brøndby failed to accept the offer within the group’s deadline.[67]

In February 2007, he became the host in a new quiz, on TV3 named 1 mod 100 (the Danish version of 1 vs. 100). In 2008, he became the host of the European version of the Discovery Channel programme, Dirty Jobs.[68]

Personal life[edit]

Schmeichel was divorced from his wife Bente Schmeichel in 2013. He remarried again in 2019 to Playboy model Laura Von Lindholm. [69]

Bente Schmeichel is the mother of his two children, Cecile Schmeichel and Kasper Schmeichel, a professional footballer who plays goalkeeper for the Ligue 1 team Nice and for the Denmark national team since 2013. [70]

Criticism of sportswashing and FIFA support[edit]

In 2018, Schmeichel hosted a series of programmes produced by the state-owned Russian television station RT. They took the form of a mixture of football and travel reports, on the occasion of the World Cup in football in the country. He has been criticised for participating in sportswashing,[71] by receiving money to promote Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the desert state of Qatar.[72] In addition, he is a supporter of an unpopular FIFA proposal that the World Cup be held every two years.[73]

Peter Bolesław Schmeichel MBE (Danish pronunciation: [ˈpʰe̝ˀtɐ ˈsmɑjˀkl̩]; born 18 November 1963) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. During eight seasons at English club Manchester United, he captained the club to victory in the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final to complete the Treble. He also won the UEFA Euro 1992 with his country Denmark.

Born in Gladsaxe, Copenhagen, Schmeichel was 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in) tall and weighed close to 100 kg (15 st 10 lb) during his playing days, and wore specially-made size XXXL football shirts.[2] A fierce competitor, he often loudly criticised perceived mistakes by his defenders.[3] Unusually for a goalkeeper, he scored 11 goals during his career, including one for the national team. He is also the most capped player for the Denmark national team, with 129 games between 1987 and 2001. In addition to Euro 92, he played for his country at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and three additional European Championship tournaments. He captained the national team in 30 matches. He also represented Gladsaxe-Hero, Hvidovre, Brøndby, Sporting CP, Aston Villa and Manchester City in a career that lasted from 1981 until 2003 and yielded 24 trophies.

Regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, he was voted the IFFHS World’s Best Goalkeeper in 1992 and 1993, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics also ranked Schmeichel among the top 10 goalkeepers of the 20th century.[4] In 2001, Schmeichel won a public poll held by Reuters, in which the majority of the 200,000 participants voted him as the best goalkeeper ever, ahead of Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.[5] In 2003, Schmeichel was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his impact on the English game. In March 2004, he was named as one of the «125 greatest living footballers», at the FIFA 100 celebrations. Schmeichel’s son, Kasper, is also a professional goalkeeper, currently playing for Ligue 1 side OGC Nice and the Denmark national team.

Early life[edit]

Schmeichel was born in the Søborggård parish of Gladsaxe, Denmark, to Inger, a Danish nurse, and Antoni «Tolek» Schmeichel, a Polish jazz musician. He held Polish citizenship until November 1971 when he, his father, and his three sisters became Danish citizens.[6]

Schmeichel inherited his middle name – Bolesław – from his great-grandfather.[7] He spent his early years in the town of Buddinge, Copenhagen, and began his football career playing for a team in the adjacent suburb of Høje-Gladsaxe. His first match came on 7 August 1972 at the age of 8.[8] After a two-and-a-half-year unbeaten run, Schmeichel was approached by BK Hero, a team from a few divisions above Høje-Gladsaxe and with one of the largest youth football schemes in Denmark. BK Hero merged with Gladsaxe BK in 1979 to form Gladsaxe-Hero BK, and Schmeichel was presented with the opportunity to play for the Zealand FA’s junior representative team.[9]

Before becoming a professional footballer, Schmeichel had to work a number of jobs to make ends meet. His first job came in the dyeing department of a textile factory, but safety concerns led to his resignation. He then spent 12 months as a cleaner at an old people’s home, before taking up an office job with the World Wildlife Fund. He originally worked in the organisation’s shops, but three weeks after he joined, the store manager left and Schmeichel was promoted to the position of sales manager. Soon after, Schmeichel was called upon to do his four weeks of compulsory military service. However, this coincided with Hvidovre’s summer training camp in Portugal, which he was permitted to go on with the proviso that he completed his military service the following month. Nevertheless, the delicate organisational situation that arose between the WWF, the Danish defence department and Hvidovre prompted Schmeichel to give up working for the WWF. A job with his father-in-law’s flooring firm came next, until he realised that his knees could not support his 15 stone (95 kg) frame for eight hours a day, and he was offered a job with the advertising firm owned by Hvidovre’s chairman, Niels Erik Madsen. This was to be his last job outside football, as he was offered a contract with Brøndby the following spring.[10]

Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Eventually graduating to the Gladsaxe-Hero senior squad, Schmeichel met his first mentor in Svend Aage Hansen, the first team coach at the club, and later to become his father-in-law. With Gladsaxe-Hero already relegated from the Danish Third Division with three games to go, Hansen promoted Schmeichel and six others from the youth team for a match against IF Skjold Birkerød. The team lost 1–0, but Schmeichel received mentions in local newspapers for his personal performance.[11] At the end of the season, Hansen explained to Schmeichel his plan for the future, which involved Schmeichel spending two more seasons with Gladsaxe-Hero BK before moving on to Hvidovre, playing for the Danish national team, and eventually having a successful career abroad. Schmeichel admits that he had received an offer to play for B 1903’s youth team, but he turned it down as the club «seemed a bit boring».[12]

The following season, Gladsaxe-Hero needed only to avoid defeat to Stubbekøbing to prevent relegation from the Danish National League. In the end, Schmeichel played one of the best games of his career and Gladsaxe-Hero won the match. At the end of the game, Hansen’s daughter, Bente, ran onto the pitch and hugged Schmeichel. The two ended up going out as a couple, and they eventually got married.[13]

Despite having the fifth best defence in the league, conceding 40 goals in 30 games,[14] Schmeichel and Hvidovre finished in 14th place and were relegated in 1985. After only a single season, the club bounced right back to the 1st Division, but Schmeichel left the club to join Brøndby.

Brøndby[edit]

Before the 1987 season, Schmeichel joined Brøndby, who finished as runners-up the previous season. In the five seasons that Schmeichel played with Brøndby, they went on to win the 1st Division four times. The climax of his Brøndby career would come in the 1990–91 UEFA Cup, which saw Schmeichel as an important part of the team that reached the semi-finals, keeping seven clean sheets in the competition.[15][16] The club was eliminated from the tournament following a 2–1 away defeat to Roma with a last-minute goal by Rudi Völler.[15] Schmeichel was voted 10th in «The World’s Best Goalkeeper 1991» poll by the IFFHS.[17]

Manchester United[edit]

Schmeichel in July 1991, a few days after signing for Manchester United

Following his showings on the international scene, Manchester United signed Schmeichel on 6 August 1991 for £505,000,[18] a price described in 2000 by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson as the «bargain of the century.»[19] Schmeichel was virtually unknown outside Denmark at the time, especially within the United squad members. Manchester United finished as runners-up in Schmeichel’s first season. and they also won the Football League Cup for the first time in the club’s history. For his performances throughout the season, he was elected «The World’s Best Goalkeeper of 1992» by IFFHS.[20]

In the 1992–93 season, 22 clean sheets from Schmeichel helped United win the Premier League championship, the first time the club had won England’s top trophy in 26 years.[15][21] Schmeichel was once again named «The World’s Best Goalkeeper» in 1993. In January 1994, Schmeichel fell out with Ferguson, as United had squandered a 3–0 lead to draw 3–3 with Liverpool. The two had a row where Schmeichel «said the most horrible things»,[22] and Ferguson considered selling him as a result. A few days later, Schmeichel apologised to his teammates for losing his temper. Ferguson overheard, and decided to retain Schmeichel.[19] Schmeichel and United repeated the Premier League championship win at the end of the season, also capturing the FA Cup.[21] United were denied a domestic treble by losing the 1994 League Cup Final to Aston Villa, a game for which Schmeichel was suspended.[23]

Following a match against Arsenal in November 1996, Schmeichel was accused of racism by Ian Wright. During the game, Schmeichel and Wright had a number of controversies, and at the end of the game, the two players confronted each other on their way off the pitch. After the game, news emerged of a police inquiry into the incident, where it was alleged that Schmeichel had made a racist remark.[24] In March 1997, the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to press any charges.[25]

Schmeichel ended his Manchester United career on a high note, when the club won the Treble (the FA Premier League title, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season). In that year’s FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, Schmeichel saved a penalty kick by Dennis Bergkamp in the last minutes of the game (which Schmeichel revealed he was unaware of time), to send the game into extra time.[15] In the absence of the suspended Roy Keane, he captained United in the UEFA Champions League final in May 1999. German opponents Bayern Munich had a 1–0 lead until the dying minutes of the game, when United received a corner kick. Schmeichel ran into the attack attempting to cause confusion, and Teddy Sheringham scored the equalising goal. A few seconds later, Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored the winner for United to ensure that Schmeichel’s United career ended with a trophy win.[26] Schmeichel cartwheeled gleefully in his area after Solskjær’s winning goal.[21]

With his departure, Manchester United had trouble finding a replacement for him, going through several high-profile goalkeepers including Mark Bosnich, Massimo Taibi, Fabien Barthez, Tim Howard and Roy Carroll, before finally buying Edwin van der Sar, who Sir Alex Ferguson considered the best goalkeeper to have played for the club since Schmeichel.[27]

Sporting CP[edit]

Schmeichel decided to leave English football at the end of the 1998–99 season, as the gruelling 60-game season, which came with playing with a successful club, was threatening to undermine his high standards at the age of 36. Seeking a slower pace of football, he moved to Sporting CP, where he signed a two-year contract.[28] In his first season with the club, he won the 1999–2000 Primeira Liga title, putting an end to the team’s 18 years without a championship. At the end of the 1999–2000 season, Schmeichel and Sporting CP agreed to terminate his contract with a free transfer back to Manchester United verbally agreed. However, Sir Alex Ferguson called the deal off due to turning an eye to the «future», Fabien Barthez. The contract issue with Sporting CP was quickly resolved and he continued for a second season in Portugal.[29]

His second year with Sporting was the first time in 14 years, since his Hvidovre days, that Schmeichel’s club had finished below second place in the league. Schmeichel stated his wish to activate a contract option of a further year at Sporting in January 2001,[30] but eventually decided to leave the club when his contract expired in June 2001.[31]

Aston Villa[edit]

Schmeichel returned to England with Aston Villa in July 2001, signing a one-year contract with the option to extend it by a further year.[32] On 20 October 2001, Schmeichel became the first goalkeeper to score a Premier League goal, in a 3–2 defeat away to Everton;[15] this feat has been repeated just five times since: by Blackburn Rovers’ Brad Friedel on 21 February 2004, also from a corner kick; by Tottenham Hotspur’s Paul Robinson from a free-kick on 17 March 2007; by Everton’s Tim Howard on 4 January 2012; by Stoke City’s Asmir Begović on 2 November 2013; and by Liverpool’s Alisson Becker on 16 May 2021.[33] Schmeichel left Aston Villa after one season after he fell behind Peter Enckelman in the club’s pecking order under new manager Graham Taylor, who had replaced John Gregory in February 2002.[34]

Manchester City[edit]

In 2002, Schmeichel moved to Manchester City on a free transfer.[35][36] He played only one season, in 2002–03. In the Manchester derby, he was never on the losing side; during his nine years with Manchester United, they were unbeaten against Manchester City, while in his single season with City, they won at Maine Road and drew at Old Trafford.[37][38] Schmeichel announced his retirement from football in April 2003.[39][40]

International career[edit]

Schmeichel made his debut for the Denmark national football team in May 1987, under national manager Sepp Piontek, and was selected for UEFA Euro 1988, where he eventually became Denmark’s starting goalkeeper, after initially serving as a back-up to Troels Rasmussen in Denmark’s opening 3–2 defeat to Spain; Denmark lost both of their remaining two matches 2–0 to West Germany and Italy, however, and were eliminated in the first round of the competition.[15]

Under new national manager Richard Møller Nielsen, Schmeichel was Denmark’s starting goalkeeper at the Euro 92 tournament which they went on to win.[16] Although Denmark initially finished behind Yugoslavia in their qualification campaign for the final tournament, the latter nation were banned from the competition, while Denmark replaced them in the finals.[15] Schmeichel made a string of important saves during the tournament,[16] keeping a clean sheet in Denmark’s opening 0–0 draw against England, and producing decisive stops against Eric Cantona and Jean-Pierre Papin in a 2–1 win over France to advance to the last four.[15] In the semi-finals against defending champions the Netherlands, following a 2–2 draw after extra time, he stopped a penalty kick from Marco van Basten – the only miss of the shoot-out – which enabled Denmark to advance to the final in a 5–4 shootout victory.[41] Schmeichel also made several decisive saves in the final, and even held a cross with one hand, keeping a clean sheet in his nation’s 2–0 victory over Germany.[42][43]

In November 1993, Schmeichel and Denmark failed to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as they were tied on points and goal difference with the Republic of Ireland, and went out on goals scored.[15] Schmeichel played for Denmark at Euro 96, hosted by England. The defending European Champions went out in the preliminary group stage, despite delivering results equivalent to the Euro 92 tournament in the first round.[15][44] Under national manager Bo Johansson, Schmeichel was a part of the Danish squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He was one of the leading members of the Danish campaign, which ended in a 3–2 quarter-final defeat to Brazil.[15]

He scored his only goal for the Danish national team, a penalty kick in a 2–2 draw against Belgium, in a June 2000 warm-up match for Euro 2000.[45] He represented Denmark at Euro 2000, where the team was eliminated in the group stage. He announced his retirement from the national team in February 2001,[46] and played his final match (his 129th international appearance)[15] two months later, captaining the side in a 3–0 friendly win over Slovenia at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium; he was substituted in the 65th minute to a standing ovation, replaced by long-time back-up Peter Kjær.[47] He kept a clean sheet in the match.

Style of play[edit]

Schmeichel is widely regarded by pundits, as well as both former and current goalkeeping colleagues, as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and also as Denmark’s greatest goalkeeper ever,[nb 1] and has been described as a modern, talented, world-class, and complete goalkeeper, who also stood out for the longevity of his career.[nb 2] A tall, strong and physically imposing goalkeeper, with a large frame and long reach,[nb 3] as well as excellent reflexes,[58] he was also extremely athletic and agile for a player of his size,[nb 4] and was known for his ability to cover the goal with his trademark «star jump» saves,[21] a technique he reportedly developed from playing handball.[62]

He was highly regarded for his goalkeeping technique, shot-stopping ability, and positioning between the posts, as well as his command of his area, handling, and ability to rush off his line both in one on one situations or when coming out to claim crosses.[nb 5] A courageous and fierce competitor, he was a vocal presence in goal, known for his strong character, mentality, ability to organise his defence, and leadership from the back, as well as for his criticism of his defenders whenever they made mistakes.[nb 6] He was also effective at stopping penalties.[15] In addition to his goalkeeping ability, he was also known for his capacity to read the game, as well as his adeptness with the ball at his feet, and his distribution and ability to launch swift counter-attacks with his long and accurate throws and kicks. Unusually for a goalkeeper, he would often go up for corner kicks in the opposition’s area when his team were trailing, and scored 11 goals in his career.[nb 7] An example of this was when he was playing for Manchester United in a UEFA Cup match against Rotor Volgograd at Old Trafford in September 1995. He scored in the last minutes of the game to tie the match 2–2, though United were eliminated from the tournament on the away goals rule.[45]

Later career[edit]

In December 1999, Schmeichel became the owner of his childhood club Hvidovre IF,[66] but withdrew from the club in June 2002.[citation needed]

Schmeichel worked as a pundit for the BBC after retiring, being a regular analyst on Match of the Day until 2005. He then began hosting live UEFA Champions League matches on Danish television channel TV3+, with Preben Elkjær and Brian Laudrup the studio pundits. However, he still works occasionally as a pundit for the BBC.

He also took part in Soccer Aid, and played for the Rest of the World team, who lost 2–1 after he was substituted at half-time. Schmeichel was a contestant on the 2006 series of the BBC’s popular Saturday night TV programme Strictly Come Dancing, but was voted out by the public on his 43rd birthday. He also appeared on The Weakest Link in the UK, but he was voted off as the weakest link in the first round.

On 31 August 2007, an investor group including Schmeichel announced their intention to invest DKK 250 million (€33.5 million) in the football club Brøndby IF and make him sports director. This was announced in a press conference in Danish at a hotel in Copenhagen. The offer fell through when Brøndby failed to accept the offer within the group’s deadline.[67]

In February 2007, he became the host in a new quiz, on TV3 named 1 mod 100 (the Danish version of 1 vs. 100). In 2008, he became the host of the European version of the Discovery Channel programme, Dirty Jobs.[68]

Personal life[edit]

Schmeichel was divorced from his wife Bente Schmeichel in 2013. He remarried again in 2019 to Playboy model Laura Von Lindholm. [69]

Bente Schmeichel is the mother of his two children, Cecile Schmeichel and Kasper Schmeichel, a professional footballer who plays goalkeeper for the Ligue 1 team Nice and for the Denmark national team since 2013. [70]

Criticism of sportswashing and FIFA support[edit]

In 2018, Schmeichel hosted a series of programmes produced by the state-owned Russian television station RT. They took the form of a mixture of football and travel reports, on the occasion of the World Cup in football in the country. He has been criticised for participating in sportswashing,[71] by receiving money to promote Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the desert state of Qatar.[72] In addition, he is a supporter of an unpopular FIFA proposal that the World Cup be held every two years.[73]
