Explore Schmeichel Developed By Peter Schmeichel Presented In Paper Edition

being better written than many footballers' bios, I give this book a low rating because Mr, Schmeichel comes off as such a jerk, with zero selfreflection or honesty,

When I read this book I thought I was a fan, but I was not by the end of the book,

Yes it was a while ago but I remember it so vividly, hence the review,

His account of what happened re: his racial abuse of Ian Wright is not credible his professed motives amp explanation make no logical or chronological sense amp his comments actually indict him more definitively.


Later in the book he proudly describes an incident where swears crudely at a female teacher whose class of young school kids had the temerity to interrupt his golf game, what a gentleman!

Finally, it's quite creepy when he describes the pleasure he feels when his thenyoung daughter cries, even today this seems such a scary amp telling comment.


Hard not to feel real revulsion towards this guy, despite the mass worship of him,

So, decent prose written by a man who reveals that he is quite ugly inside,
He's my childhood hero so I really wanted this to be an amazing book but actually it is very bland and he doesn't seem very interesting If you're a Peter Schmeichel fan, you will probably like this

book as I did.
However, if you aren't mad crazy about Schmeichel or aren't familiar with the impact he had at Manchester United in the 's, you may not find this book as enjoyable.
The book is wellwritten, but lacks a lot of in depth, revealing information, It does shed some light on Schmeichel's personality and the true grit he showed on the pitch, which I found to be of interest,

From a coaching perspective, one of the latter chapters would provide an interesting read to young goalies in soccer, It highlights what Schmeichel feels are important characteristics of a good keeper, My view is that he is spot on with his comments and the perspective would enlighten any aspiring keeper,

Overall, the book is mildly informative, marginally revealing and somewhat entertaining, If I didn't know of Schmeichel as one of the greatest keepers in European soccer, I probably would have tossed the book to the side without finishing.
However, if you have any interest in learning of, or learning a little more, about Peter Schmeichel this book may be a good read for you,
