Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel reflects on his Champions League triumph, on-pitch aggression, double-agent dad and son Kasper in a fan-friendly documentary

This is a pretty respectable entry in the current corporate-landfill era of sports documentaries. It’s the customary slavishly admiring portrait of its subject, the Danish goalkeeper who anchored Manchester United to a string of league titles and Denmark to the European Championships, but you are left with a sense that, somehow, Peter Schmeichel is a big enough character to justify it. Inevitably, the film also acts as yet another outpost of the “Football, bloody hell!” documentary industrial complex, with one more airing of the footage of United’s Champions League final triumph.

Admittedly, there’s now an extra dimension to Clive Tyldesley’s strangulated shrieks as United scored their winner: this was Schmeichel’s last game for the side, having unexpectedly announced his exit from the team earlier in the season.
