#2 Peter Schmeichel

Talking about this man’s physique, i.e., a height of 1.91 m and weight of 100 kg, makes it all the more important to peek into Schmeichel’s football career.

We have come across various instances when this vehement player charged a series of extremely loud and bounteous accusations towards his fellow defenders. Who knows how mad he gets!! Regardless of this behaviour, his team Manchester United has won UEFA Euro 1992, has completed the Treble, all while Schmeichel captained the team United.

Although a goalkeeper by position, he is known for 10 outstanding goals throughout his career. The national team has been captained by this player in 30 matches. Named among the top 10 keepers of the 20th century and instilled in the Football of Fame, is something that he has earned because of his distinguished performance.
