The best 10 jerseys of Peter Schmeichel The unmistakable style of the legendary Manchester United goalkeeper

At Old Trafford they remember many great goalkeepers: Edwin Van Der Saar, Jimmy Rimmer, Alex Stepney, Fabian Barthez. No one, however, is remembered in the same way that fans remember "The Great Dane" Peter Bolesław Schmeichel. He has protected the Red Devils' goal 292 times and 42% of the games he has played with United in 8 seasons have been clean sheets, with 0 goals conceded. He would be remembered as the # 1 goalkeeper in the club's history, but the stain of having passed on to the city rivals of the Manchester City in his last year of career (2002-03) is too big a stain on a unique curriculum in the world. It is not only the technical skills that make him a giant among the posts, but his temperament and his charisma have led fans to nickname him "The Great Dane", a word game that leverages his nationality and his role as " commander".

But Peter Schmeichel was also a style icon, dressing the most incredible goalkeeper suits seen in the Premier League. Whether they are produced by Umbro - for the duration of his stay at United - or by Hummel with the Danish national team or by Diadora in the experience at Aston Villa, the way the father of the promising Kasper (currently goalkeeper of Leicester City) he wore design masterpieces was unique. In a career spanning more than 20 years, we have chosen the best 10 jerseys worn by Schmeichel.

Denmark, Euro 1992

The most beautiful, the most significant and the most surprising in some ways. Schmeichel's shirt at the 1992 European Championships is a triumph of colors, the same that will accompany his Denmark until the tournament victory. It was June 26 when John Jensen and Kim Vilford rolled out Germany and delivered the first (and only) European title to Denmark.

Denmark, World Cup 1998

In France Denmark comes ready for anything and in the group with the hosts, Saudi Arabia and South Africa easily passes to the round of 16. The crossing with Nigeria is a walk (4-1), while in the quarterfinals comes Brazil trembling but beating the Danes 3-2. From the sparkling polka dots of 1992 to the yellow of 1998. The size is, as always, one more, to allow Schmeichel to fly better.

Manchester United, 1995

We return to the Premier League, 1994-95 season. Green remains, but this time the core of the shirt is blue with the usual geometric inserts, a great classic of the Umbrian sweaters of the 90s. This time no national title, which goes to Blackburn. One point less (88) than the champions, but the best defense of the championship once again with only 28 goals conceded and 24 clean sheets brought home.

Manchester United, 1996

Blue variant with blue inserts for the goalkeeper who became famous thanks to his somersaults after goals by Cantona, Cole, Scholes, Keane and Huges. The central logo of Umbro that dominates that of the most popular club in the world completes the shirt design of the 1996-97 season.
