Talk:Peter Schmeichel

message: It would be nice if that section mentioned the controversy in which Schmeichel left SCP, on which he was released as a free agent after making inumerous public claims that he would be retiring and then on the beginning of the next season he joined yet another professional team as a GK. --Mecanismo | Talk 21:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added some refs, which say his Sporting contract ran out after he considered, but ultimately chose not, to use a contract option of a possible further year at the club. And that he then wanted to consider a number of options, before chosing Villa. I have found no mention of him being released by Sporting, neither claims of retirement, but if you have sources, please share them/incorporate them into the text.

message: What, Polish ancestry? But he has a German sounding surname. Does it mean that his father or grandparents were Germans living in former German territories east of Oder-Neisse line? Meursault2004 (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the info. Well I also entered the query and found this: BB:6, By:9, Cz:1, Gd:6, Ka:5, Kn:8, To:33. I don't know all these abbreviations as I don't speak Polish. But I suspect Gd is Gdansk. These localities are located in the vicinity's of one another and used to be part of the German Empire. And of course you are right, if his ancestors came to Poland hundreds of years ago it is possible that they have long been Polonised. Cheers. Meursault2004 (talk) 09:42, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Dirty Jobs?

message: The article would benefit from a section covering his playing style.  I recall reading that his 'star jump' saving technique developed from playing handball growing up in Denmark.  - 16keeper (talk) 05:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

message: It says on this page that Schmeichel is a pundit for Danish TV - I was just watching the Liverpool-Chelsea Champions league game there on Danish TV and Schmeichel was the main presenter! (so wierd, recognised the voice instantly) So clearly he's been promoted. Think the article may need updated. --Simonski (talk) 20:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

message: His info box says 643 career league appearances, however his career stats table only says 597... Which is it? Also, is the table complete interms of his overall apps?? Ck786 (talk) 04:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The career stats table does not include his appearances for Gladsaxe-Hero. – PeeJay 21:45, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: League Appearances

message: Arsenal's new star goalkeeper Wojciech Szcz%C4%99sny has a career stats table that reflects his role as a goalkeeper, with lists of goals conceded and clean sheets.  Peter Schmeichel, the best goalkeeper in history, has a career stats table which implies he had a middling career as a defender, since he hardly ever scored goals.  Somebody must have done the research to get the proper table put in place, please can this be done?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Silas Maxfield (talk • contribs) 14:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Most football stats websites record stats for goalkeepers just as they would for any other player - i.e. only appearances and goals scored. It's fine as it is. – PeeJay 22:12, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I KNOW FOR A FACT PETER SCORED FOR UNITED. BECAUSE I WATCHED THE GAME AND REMEMBER IT CLEARLY. PETER COMES UP FOR A CORNER AND PUTS IT IN THE NET. PUTS HIS HAND UP AND RUNS BACK.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.87.201 (talk) 16:57, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The stats are not wrong. It is clearly stated that the infobox is for league stats only, therefore Schmeichel's goals tally for Man Utd is zero; full stats are included in a table lower down the article. Please read more closely next time. – PeeJay 00:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  STATS ARE WRONG 

message: Schmeichel was know for loud criticism directed at the defensive backline. This was previously in the article, as of 2010, but since removed. It's been restored, with documentation. This is a well-written and documented article, but the at least one not so splendid detail was removed. It's now on my watchlist.

message: I know Schmeichel's height is sourced as being 1.91m according to his Danish national team profile, but I'm certain that he is taller, as he always looked so large in goal, and he looked taller than Buffon (who is also listed as being 1.91m tall) when Gigi accepted his award from Schmeichel for the best FIFA goalkeeper this year. Some other sources, like soccerbase, soccerway, and ESPN, have conflicting heights (some say he is 1.93, some 1.96, his FIFA profile says he is 6'3"). Does anyone have a reputable and accurate source for his height? Thanks! Best regards, Messirulez (talk) 23:12, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: He didn't score a goal for Manchester United in the league though. Please note the asterisk and the note in the infobox that specifies stats are for the league only. Thanks. – PeeJay 13:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
