When talking about the best goalkeepers that have graced the Premier League with their presence, we can't overlook the legendary Peter Schmeichel, the only goalkeeper in the English top flight history to have won a European treble.

The Danish international who also won the EURO 1992 with his national side, won everything there is to win in English football during his playing days with Manchester United.

In the fledgling days of the Premier League, when teams used to play 42 games a season, he kept 21 clean sheets in 1994-95. But, unfortunately he saw his heroics in between the sticks undone by a rampant Alan Shearer, whose 34 league goals propelled Blackburn Rovers to an unlikely league triumph that season by a single point.

Nonetheless, he will always be remembered as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time in the league's history.
