Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet.

 

Our special guest is one of the best goalkeepers ever: Peter Schmeichel. The Great Dane is joined by hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott.


The 1999 treble winner reflects on his career before turning pro, including some early jobs in a textile factory which he believes helped him in football.

 

Jamie shares how the legendary Danish 1992 Euro champion helped him experience the iconic Yellow Wall at Borussia Dortmund.


Schmeichel shares a behind-the-scenes story - where he clashed with Sir Alex Ferguson in an Anfield dressing room! And Roy and Peter dive into their infamous fallout - and discuss their brawl.

 

The panel debate who the best goalkeeper in the world is and Peter opens up about his close bond with his son, fellow goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel; reflecting on Leicester’s famous Premier League triumph and why he believes Celtic is currently the perfect club for Kasper.

 

Lastly, don’t miss the post-show treat—Peter picks up the guitar for a sing-along session!
