In this nostalgia-packed episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads welcome

Premier League icon Peter Schmeichel, and the result is nothing short of legendary.


Widely considered one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, Peter Schmeichel shares extraordinary stories from his journey, growing up in Denmark, sneaking in football behind his pianist father's back, and the shocking spy story of his dad defecting from Poland during the Cold War.


From bringing handball instincts into the Premier League to transforming goalkeeping

with his iconic throws and psychological tactics, Schmeichel gives fans unmatched

behind-the-scenes insight into Man United’s dominance, Sir Alex Ferguson’s trust in the

Class of ’92, and the unbelievable run that led to the famous 1999 treble.


He even talks about his love-hate relationship with baked beans, his time on Strictly

Come Dancing, and how he may have nearly joined Liverpool on a night out with Ian Rush!


This one is for the diehard football romantics. Bacon sandwiches at the ready—this is the

Schmeichel episode you didn’t know you needed.
