The Manchester United legend used to clean houses

Often considered by many as one of the greatest Danish goalkeepers ever to step foot in the Premier League, Peter Schmeichel captained the Manchester United squad in 1999 and led them to their victory against Bayern Munich, winning the Champions League and the treble of the season.

With over 300 appearances for the Red Devils and 13 major trophies, Schmeichel is one of the most decorated goalkeepers in the history of the sport.

A lesser-known fact is that the Danish goalkeeper has done an array of jobs, right from being a salesman to flooring and advertising certain products.

But most importantly, he did something completely unexpected during his early days, and that is cleaning an old person's house for 12 straight months. That is right, 12 months cleaning the entire house. Who knew that this person would actually become one of the most important goalkeepers in football's history?
