What a fine figure of a man. Schmeichel's intimidating physique (he wears an XXXL shirt and stands 6ft 4 tall) and attacking threat gave him a presence beyond that of mere mortal goalies. He also scored 11 goals, a great feat for a keeper, and had a habit of racing into the oppositions box for penalties when his team was behind. He is the most capped player for the Danish national team, with 129 games and a goal between 1987 and 2001. Apart from Euro 92, he played for his nation at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and three additional European Championship tournaments. He captained the team in 30 matches.

Today, he is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers ever. And I washed my hair with the wrong shampoo this morning, so today I look a bit like him. I'm a bit taller though.
