Peter Schmeichel - United Legendary goalkeeper

Manchester United legendary goalkeeper started his career playing often as a striker but his real talent was found to be in goal.

Alex Ferguson spotted his potential and took him to Old Trafford in 1991 for the ridiculously small sum of £500,000.

He left English football at the end of the 1999 season at the age of 35.

In his first season in Sporting Lisbon in 2000, he helped them win their first League title in 17 years.

Schmeichel shocked everyone in the football world, as he returned to the Premiership with Aston Villa on a free transfer in July 2001.

Peter finally retired from professional football for good in May 2003.
