Peter Schmeichel was probably the first greatest shot-stopper to play for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scottish gaffer signed him for a fee of £675,000 from IF Brondby, a sum he later branded as the 'bargain price of the century' in 1991.
Nicknamed the 'Great Dane', Schmeichel was known for his imposing figure and excellent reflexes in goal.
He was surprisingly agile and athletic for a player of his size and stature. He was also known for his vocal presence on the pitch and the ability to lead the team from the back. He was also famous for marauding forward during set-pieces when his teams trailed 1-0.
Regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers ever to grace the beautiful game, Peter Schmeichel attained immortality at Manchester United in the 90s, being an integral part of a side that revived the club's legacy.
He made 339 appearances and also scored a goal during his times at Old Trafford.
