Barney 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Miguel was close to signing under SBR. But if we had signed him instead of Carr, then Freddy wouldn't have been able to make that stupid pun in the Chronicle about a garage. Funny guy..................funny guy.

Craig 6700 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Number 16Peter Schmeichel Denmark Years Played: 1984 - 2003 Why he's one of the greatest: Peter Schmeichel's string of outstanding saves in the 1992 European Championship Final were crucial to Denmark's shocking triumph in the tournament. Peter Schmeichel's acrobatic goaltending made him one of Europe's most dominant keepers of the 1990s. He enjoyed his first success with his second club Brondby, claiming four Danish league titles over five seasons. Schmeichel, having almost been recruited by Newcastle in 1987, made his mark in English football with Manchester United. In his second season with the Red Devils, he claimed the first ever English Premiership title. Manchester United went on to win the league and FA Cup double the following season, repeating the feat in 1996. Over his eight seasons with United, his brilliant goaltending would play a crucial role in their five league championships, as well as their "treble" victory of 1999, as they added European Cup glory to their list of accomplishments. "The Great Dane" led Denmark by example, as his crucial saves against Holland's Marco van Basten in the semifinals and Germany in the final match helped Denmark earn their first European Championship trophy. Shockingly, Denmark hadn't even qualified but was invited to participate when Yugoslavia was ejected from the tournament. Capped 128 times for his country, Peter Schmeichel's loyal service to the art of goaltending has branded him as one of the best.
