Peter Schmeichel in KL!
The Great Dane aka Peter Schmeichel was in KL last week! He is best remembered for his most successful years at Manchester United, whom he captained to the 1999 UEFA Champions League to complete The Treble. Standing at an intimidating 1.93m tall, he is one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of football. He is also one of FIFA’s 125 Greatest Living Footballers.
This is how he is best remembered...
Last I saw him was in 1995 (if my memory serves my well) when he came to KL with the then United team for their Asian Tour to play a friendly against the Malaysian national team (which is not much to talk about). It is just so amazing to be able to be in his presence again. Would have been even more amazing to watch him play again. (Keeping my fingers crossed that he might make an appearance for the EPL Masters at some point of time).
He was in town last week as the ambassador for Tiger Biscuits to coach a football clinic for kids. A meet & great session was also organised for die hard fans in conjunction with his visit. I was at Carrefour, Midvalley on Saturday to catch a glimspe of him and also to get his autograph.
See how he towers over the midgets.. Lol..
He is just so nice and obliging
That's me! :)
Got some ancient footie mags autographed too..
Schmeichel you are the best! Always have been, always will be!
