The Great Dane, Peter Schmeichel joins the Pod in this week's feature-length episode, where he talks about his explosive bust-up with Sir Alex Ferguson which almost cost the legendary goalkeeper his job. He also opened up about his regret at leaving Manchester United immediately after the success of the Treble in 1999 and why going on to play for rivals Manchester City didn't work out the way he'd planned.
Helen and Maysie welcomed former Premier League defender, Alex Bruce to the Pod to share his childhood memories of growing up next door to the Schmeichels, leading to his life-long friendship with Peter's son, Kasper.

I called it actually in 1999, we have fine backup keeper Van Der Gouw but there is similar keeper named Van Der Sar wanting to leave Ajax who is actually miles better than Van Der Gouw and on the up, and said United should just get VDS but nope United decided to be daft and resigned Bosnish who was worse than VDG.

While de Gea is a great shot stopper, and Edwin was a really calm, intelligent and reliable keeper, it's hard to imagine anyone taking away Peter's crown as the greatest ever Manchester United goalkeeper. He dominated the whole box, and never accepted anything less than 100% from his defenders. His brilliant positioning and ridiculous agility for a big man, was just the cherry on the cake.

Even he plays for the other teams. I could not turn my back against him. He would die for Man United. When we concede never once I blame the keeper coz he is the best. So if he can't save it then nobody can. Only once I saw him made a mistake was against Barnsley. Didnt blame him at all. Seeing him do so much over the years for Man United. I got nothing but love for him. LEGEND AND THE BEST KEEPER WE EVER HAD. To bow out of Man United after winning the TREBLE was the best. Cantona style. Bow out at the very top. Thanks for Everything Peter Schmeichel.

Back then it wasn't near as big a deal. Tiny club, barley even rivals. Not to mention that Peter has a family, and a life outside of football. Because he stayed in Manchester his child didn't have to move school, he didn't need a new house. He said himself his body couldn't keep up with the work of playing at the highest level, city was an acceptable choice back then.
