Peter Boleslaw Schmeichel MBE (born November 18, 1963) is a Danish former professional footballer who played the position of goalkeeper and was voted the "World's Best Goalkeeper" in 1992 and 1993. He was a key member of the Danish national football team which won the 1992 European Championship (Euro 92). His most successful years were in England with club Manchester United, with whom he won the 1999 UEFA Champions League. He retired from playing football in April 2003.
He is the most capped player for the Denmark national team, with 129 games and 1 goal, and he captained the team in 30 matches. Apart from Euro 92, he also played for his country at Euro 88, Euro 96, the 1998 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2000. He retired from the national team in April 2001 when he played a planned farewell match against Slovenia.
Schmeichel is famous for his attacking threat as well as his intimidating physique. Throughout his career, Schmeichel scored 13 goals, a great feat for a keeper. Today, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers ever. The IFFHS ranked Schmeichel as the seventh best keeper of the 20th century in 2000,[1] and in 2001 Schmeichel won a public poll held by Reuters, when the majority of the 200,000 participants voted him as the best goalkeeper ever, ahead of Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.[2]

Definitely Peter Schmeichel. The ex Brondby, Man Utd, Man City and Danish goalkeeper. He won several accolades as a player but his 2 proudest moment in football were probably his last game for Man Utd when they beat bayern Munich 2-1 to win the 1999 Champions league, and the day that Denmark won Euro 92.
