- This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
On today’s episode, we are joined by the Manchester United and Danish icon, Peter Schmeichel. Regarded by many as the greatest goalkeeper in Premier League history, Schmeichel was a leader in a dominant Manchester United side, winning the treble in 1999 as well as inspiring his native Denmark to a shock title at the European Championship in 1992.
Join us as we delve into Schmeichel's incredible career, from his early days in Denmark to his time under Sir Alex Ferguson. We get the inside scoop on a dressing room filled with explosive characters like Eric Cantona and Roy Keane, whilst Peter gives his opinion on the signing of Andre Onana and the current state his old club find themselves in…

@@UpFrontWithSimonJordanwow that is amazing - thank you - I will DM you on Instagram now
@@UpFrontWithSimonJordan Hi Simon, thank you so much - I have just messaged / DM you from my Instagram. Thanks
If he doesn't get back to you...... :D@@UpFrontWithSimonJordan
Peter Schmeichel gave Simon Jordan the correct response with regards what Paul Parker and Roy Keane said about him. No amtter how much Simon Jordan tried to be with his leading questions and trying to rephrase Peter was not having it. Classy response from Peter.
Yeah you can see Simon Jordan is really fishing for a controversial comeback, credit to Mr Schmeichel for not giving him anything, its just stupid words written in a book to help ex-footballers make money from an autobiography
Totally agree. I was really impressed with how smart and articulate Peter is
Makes for a very boring show tho doesn’t it? He won’t be drawn on it and that maybe admirable but not good for the viewers
@NoName-eo2mv why would any high profile figure want to get involved in unnecessary drama, they’re doing alright for themselves already. this isn’t Hollywood America
@@user-tn8uu2cu8g no thanks
Roy Keane living on criticising his former team mates,well done Peter on not biting..Good interview
I think Keane lives on his past experiences as a high level player. So he’s a great pundit as a result and says it like it is. Whether it’s accurate critique I dunno but it’s the reason he’s liked right? Says what he thinks, performed at a high level, won a lot.
Keane: Great player but a complete prick of a bloke.
Big Pete: Great Keeper, Great bloke.
Shut up you 🎈
@stevieclarke7706 what a tosspot you are
@@stevieclarke7706Great manager too?
Something refreshing about Peter's insistence to not call former teammates or Onana out. Easy to create drama from a flippant response, and I thought he came across as a genuine man that is very comfortable with who he is.
100%. He’s got class and even Simon Jordan’s constant talking about media controversy and bullshit couldn’t force him to stoop to the pathetic levels that Roy Keane stoops to! Legend Big Pete ❤
Greatest goalkeeper the premier league has ever seen. Fantastic interview! Great work!
Jens Lehmann clear
@@chrisg9615 "Clear" lol, he's not even in the top 5
I'd agree there. No keeper had his presence, or his intimidation factor. His command of the defence in front of him was second to none.
Best of all, he was a superior shot stopper, and on top of that he would catch the ball instead of palming it away for the cameras like today's goalkeepers...
As a Liverpool fan I'd have to go with you on this
Gol geidwad gorau gwelodd yr uwchgynghrair erioed. Cyfweliad gwych. Gwaith ardderchog!
The greatest goalkeeper I've ever witnessed. Was always the favourite when in an one-on-one situation with an attacker.
The best goalkeeper I ever have ever seen, a privilege to have watched him play and a lot of United’s success was down to him
Overrated
@@Joop175 you clearly no nothing about football
Van Der sar not so shabby
is that you roy?@@Joop175
I went to his fist game at Old Trafford way back in 1991, it was Sir matt Busy's testional, And Paul Parker scored an own goal, buty Peter made incredible, point blank saves, from John Alldridge, and evyones that day looked around in the croed and said ' How is thi guy?' hahahah
This was surprisingly enjoyable. His father, him growing up, his background and then career. Brilliant job
It was good hearing This Footballer having 'An Interesting Conversation' rather than the many blowhards (Keane) who just sensationalise the words they emit for improving their popularity with a 'Terget Fan' they want to be loyal to Their Version of football. (Keane Again lol and others)
This has been one of my favourite interviews Simon Jordan has conducted. I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice, intelligent and articulate individual Peter is. Great answers and insights and he didn’t get drawn into slagging people off when Simon was desperately baiting him to do so

Hi David i am going to send this to a guy i just speak to as we watch The Mighty Penzance AFC as we both enjoy football He is a Blackburn guy i am Manc Red and It was good hearing This Footballer having 'An Interesting Conversation' rather than the many blowhards (Keane) who just sensationalise the words they emit for improving their popularity with a 'Terget Fan' they want to be loyal to Their Version of football.

Ive watched the PL for 40 years and he's the best I've ever seen , especially in 1 on 1s
Watched PL for 40 years? It started in 1992 which isn't 40 years ago
@@vinniedixon1140you know what he means!
At times he was good but he had some shockers but the team got him out of trouble.
Van der sar was a better keeper at United. Let in less goals anyway
@@vinniedixon1140 People are allowed to round up you know, this isn't mastermind.
dont be woke@@whitekoala4172 .. your siding with someone who doesnt know what he means! Team Vinny for me on this
As a Leeds fan it was hard to like Schmeichel but have to say i think he was probably best weve ever seen.
Southall was better
Spot on. Southall nowhere near 😂😂

Schmeichel is one of my fav united players. His style was fantastic.
The idea of a history lesson from Peter Schmeichel is, in some peoples eyes, enough to get an insomniac off to sleep. However I’ve always enjoyed listening to Peter. The fact he is still the greatest goalkeeper to play the game in one of the greatest teams ever put together makes for an endless amount of good stories and legendary status.
Let's be honest mate he really isn't the greatest goalkeeper.... Gianluigi Buffon is head and shoulders above him. He isn't the best PL keeper ever. Allison and Ederson are both better than he was.
The best PL goalkeeper. Not just for the technical abilities, but also his leadership skills
Im 43 and he is the best ive ever seen to date and im a leeds fan for my troubles 😅
Better than John Lukic?
@@abb7118😂😂😂
Sheffield United fan here and been watching football for many years - what I saw this guy and Man Utd achieve in the 90’s was incredible to witness. His response to Roy Keane (another legend) and Paul Parker was classy and shows why he was still in the team long after they’d gone. Great interview!
Broadly agree with what you're saying but Keane played for Man Utd for 6 years after Scmeichel left!
Parker left around 95 and Keane left in 2005/6. You made a good point otherwise
What a thoroughly decent human being.
@@user-tn8uu2cu8gdo one ya creep
Fantastic story from a lovely gentleman. Crucial to the 99 treble - good luck on the 100k subscribers!
Lovely gentleman off the pitch, but an absolute animal on the pitch. 😄
Absolute monster of a goalkeeper and a man. So many great memories of him during my childhood in the 1990s. A true United great, let’s forget about that city move!
Hurt me so much when he went to city at the time but he says himself he was going to come back to united but fergie already signed agreement to sign barthez so we had to follow through with that ...without him 99 treble wouldn't have happened saves he made throughout season Bergkamp penalty in fa cup semi and the champions league final itself one of greatest goalkeepers ever without doubt
Great show Simon as always. Peter is the best keeper the premier league has ever seen. Respect! From a leeds fan.
A good listen, but I felt this was really cut short. Huge respect for Peter wanting to keep the sanctity of the dressing room, that’s rare these days. Could have could have gone for another hour and touching on his son Kasper. One of the very few examples where the son goes on and had just as good a career as the father.
Kasper had an okay career, nothing on the level of his old man. Yes, he won the PL with Leicester,but Peter won 5 PLs, 3 FA Cups, a Champions League and the Euros.
@@Contextualiser16-tn8nd Point being, many sons don't get anywhere near their fathers. Kasper is one of the very few. Can't think of anyone else who hit heights like their fathers in english football, who else? Frank Lampard?
The greatest keeper of all!
Being 6’4, vocal, well positioned, alert, brave, dominating your area, distributing well and shot stopping makes a good keeper.
He is a pathetic man now. Won't respond to Keane calling him a poser and Paul Parker calling him a coward.
@@harrys1505get a grip
Lovveeee it
My statement of truth hurts then?
Peter Schmichel had all the attributes to be the world's best in his time, achieved everything possible with our Club & his Country by winning the European Cup. Excellent Choice by SAF for nearly a decade. The Best Keeper we've experienced watching in 60 years, Only regret Peter should have gave Us a Testimonial 'Nough Respect'!
I’m a Gooner,what a keeper he was,brilliant battles with Utd just finished reading your book,brilliant read 👍👏
The best last line of defence Man Utd ever had. I used to play in goal myself from the age on ten up to my 20's & also a Man Utd fan and when Schmeichel joined Utd I watched him all the time and modelled my game like his. I loved being in one on ones and throwing the ball out quickly to set up attacks. Being 6 feet 6 by the time I was 18 played it's part also.
Loved the story about Peter becoming a goalkeeper, times have really changed.
If Peter shows up here with uninformed, vacuous opinions, Simon will no doubt cut through it, and get to the bottom line. With any luck, Simon will learn something, and more importantly, so might you.
They don’t come to your toilet cleaning job and tell you how how to mop the floor, leave them to their jobs.
Peter runs with hares and hunts with the hounds
@@goncaloamaral7846 Are you ok? 😬
Jolly good then. Or maybe I’ll just watch the interview
😂
Can I just say ,my son is 15 and he was made made to feel if as though goalkeeping wasn't for him. And watching this video makes me feel he was a good goalkeeper. So thank you for that
I’ve been really looking forward to this one. The shorts you’ve been uploading have been brilliant
I started watching football back when Peter started playing for united. Great memories!
As a United fan I idolised Peter Shilton as a kid. We had goalkeepers that did their job well in Leighton and Sealey but Shilton was that rare type of goalkeeper that made the team better. Then Schmeichel arrived and changed how the game is played in-between the sticks. A huge, tough, agile attacking keeper. When it came to one on one’s it was about what he was going to do to the attacker not what they were going to do to him. It was a privilege to watch him play the game.
Perfectly put
Good comment and Im Glad someone mentioned Leighton. He just went to Man Utd at the wrong time and had the fallout with Ferguson. But he was phenomenal and even Brian Clough said "Scotland Have finally found a good keeper". He refound himself in the mid 90s and was sublime for club and country - the only issue is he had the great Andy Goram to content with.
Schmeichel is probably the greatest overall, pipping Buffon.
Shilton has this aura and to think Clemence still got about 65 caps at the same time is nuts, meaning Shilton could have got circa 180 caps.
@@rossg7483 I did have a grievance with Clemence when I was a kid over that! In hindsight though he was a great keeper.
@@user-tn8uu2cu8g What kind of god would need people to be on their knees worshipping him five times a day? . . That’s the ego of a narcissistic child is it not?
Peter is such an inspiration and a interesting man.
As a 80’s baby I can remember watching Peter from 1991 when he signed for Manchester United he most definitely earned his nick name “the Great Dane” the best goalkeeper from my era anyway and if anybody’s forgot how good of a keeper he was punch in TH-cam Peter schmeichel top ten greatest saves. Such amazing talent and this is coming from a Nottingham forest fan 🤣 great sit down Simon and Peter
Magnificent podcast, listened to every episode! Great guests and interesting stories.
Best podcast yet! Thanks for this channel. I'm a carer for a paralysed ex biker and writer and musician. I look forward to watching this every Friday. If I win the competition I'd probably not be able to make it, with work etc. Carry on the good work Simon and team!
Respect to the Great Dane!
What a brilliant interview and not getting dragged into loaded question on what Keane & Paul Parker said.
Fantastic interview. One of the most fascinating episodes so far. Some very interesting insights into Peters life. Had no idea Peter was born in Poland. A classic example of the twists and turns of life - He could have ended up playing for Poland had the circumstances been slightly different. For me, Peter was the best keeper United ever had. He was loud, confident, commanding and ultimately gave the defenders the confidence they wanted in a keeper which filtered up through the team. Great guests and good to see that Simon doesn't over take the guest like others in the space.
Schmeichel is by far the best goalkeeper I've seen with my own two eyes. Defined an era and changed goalkeeping forever. Absolute legend.
No, thank you.@@user-tn8uu2cu8g
Never knew that about his family background. Full respect. Great interview.
This was very good. He started explained about IDENTITY. And he ended the talk on that note, tidiying it all up nicely.
I've really enjoyed these interviews. I'm always looking forward to the next one.
Absolute legend , he was immense.
best keeper of all time for me - would be right at home in the modern era
Love these interviews! Keep up the good work.
Congrats on the 100k Simon love the podcast !!
Peter is best goal keeper iv ever seen . I’m my life time . Amazing man . My childhood hero. And a legend.
Legend, one of the most important buy’s in Man Utd’s history, a catalytic figure not far off the likes of Eric. Gave us everything too, nothing but respect for Pete, and I agree, I’ve been supporting United for 30 years, since I was 7yrs old, and don’t recognise them one bit, they’ve lost everything that I used to love about them.
Keep supporting, they were bang average in the 70s and 80's. If you're proper then you will know football comes in cycles.
@@user-qx9fy8gu1w fully aware it goes in cycles, but also fully aware you have to break the cycle yourself, and you can’t do that with players like Bruno & Rashford. To simply say “football comes in cycles” - is to almost say it’s fate, and to just wait your turn again, that’s not how it works though, there’s people that have the power to trigger a different cycle NOW, there’s no need to wait years. United can be turned around by getting rid of a few rotten apples. And thanks for telling me about the history of the club I’ve supported all my life, I am aware though, and I’m also aware that despite not winning leagues, we had proper men in the side, we fought, we tried to play the right way, we won 3x FA Cups in the ‘80’s, had a captain & leader to look up to, a captain that represented and embodies the core values of the club. There’s none of that now.
Great channel and love the growth. Cannot get enough of it!
Such a massive fan of this podcast. Quality to see great guests being asked questions that get them thinking. Simon Jordan is the man.
One of the best keepers ever, what a presence he was
He is a pathetic man now. Won't respond to Keane calling him a poser and Paul Parker calling him a coward.
@@harrys1505 I do think he could have responded, without attacking them back if he didn’t want to. You can always stand up for yourself without getting into a fight
I mean what is he going to do fucking sit and say im not a coward and list all the times he slept without the night light on, what a man a real man just says aye no bother you can say what you like i know who i am. "Trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting to "
Lol what ? Firstly he was a footballer and one of the best.. so i'm not sure why it should matter if he is brave or a coward.. either way he exceled at his job, why would he or should he respond he isn't 10... he's a grown man clearly choosing to ignore childish comments that make no difference to his day to day.
@@harrys1505
@@harrys1505 Why should he sink to their level and go looking for attention? He saw right through their agendas and knew it was complete bollocks. To respond would have given those comments a legitimacy that they didn't deserve.
Great show as always really enjoy watching these interviews
Peters era of premier League football is far and away the pinnacle, I could listen to their stories all day and night, great stuff 😊
Best goalkeeper in the Premier league history by far
Another great episode Simon. Thank you for sharing your story Peter. A top, top goalkeeper, enjoyed watching your stellar career 🎉even a Liverpool supporter 😊
Love, love, LOVE this channel! Keep em coming Simon 😊
Cracking stuff again, loving these interviews

Great video, as always. Every episode is insightful and it’s good to actually see the interviewer challenge the guest, regardless of their stature.
Well done on the 100k subscribers! These are a great!
Schmeichel definition of a legend. Love the show watch every single episode.
I really did like the interview, I usually like Peter comments about MU games more than any other ex-MU players because he seems to understand the problem of identity non existence at the club, but when he said that Ralph period was worse than Ole's, it kinda destroyed everything for me. I believe Ragnick was breath of fresh air, I don't understand how can anyone say anything negative about him, and I am very happy he is doing g fine with Austria. His name should never be associated with MU, because MU does not deserve it. Can you get Ragnick Simon ?
@redouanedjerboua88 My thoughts as well Ralph Rangnick . He held a big mirror to the team and the club . They didn’t like what they saw. Home truths. I would love to see an interview with Rangnick regarding his short time at the club .
So glad I got to see this Amazing Goalkeeper live.. and best of all it was in a Villa Shirt! UTV 💜💙
Great interview. Great man. Very dignified, humble and provides great insight.
Superb goal keeper in premiership and what a volatile start to his life fair play for his achievements
The main reason I like this channel is because Simon never arse licks anyone; quite a refreshing change for this day and change. What results is a 'pure' interview where the 'real' questions get asked. This particular episode emphasises that clearly. Great job both men...an hour worth spending listening to a genuine conversation.
absolutely love the show. Such diverse range of guests from all sports/backgrounds, all with interesting stories. Could say that about Simon, too!
Cant believe i wasnt subscribed already , keep up the honest work simon💪
Quite simply the best Schmeichel him and Cantona were unbelievable they were world class and true greats in the history of man utd
Nope. Schmeichel played for Man City. His legend status stopped there.
He shows the best way to react to someone's classless denigration of your character...essentially saying it's so insignificant as to not even be worth talking about 😂
Not only dignified, but somehow more ruthless than any retaliation could be
100% agree!
Absolute brilliant podcast. Listen to it every journey home from work, keep up the good work
Great pod as allways,love the honesty on them all!
Peter is the reason i turned to goalkeeping. Love him.
Me too
Could quite easily make an argument that he was United’s most influential player…especially considering the fee.
The undisputed 🐐 in my opinion.
Great episode👏🏼
Great interview to the mighty Peter Schmeichel| I am not a Manchester United fan but from Sporting, and in Portugal Schmeichel helped us gain the title that we missed for 18 years|| What a great player and a also a very intelligent, sensible and polite person. Simon Jordan did a brilliant interview, as usual.
Great interview. Again the pressing questions make these better to watch than the pre questions given to guests. Well done
Simon = top LAD proper clobber
Come on Simon cut through the nonsenthhhh,
Splendid interview! This is one interview of many fantastic ones where we, the audience, have been given a real insight.
Great interview that, really enjoyed it.
Nice to see this channel grow. Love Peter Schmeichel.
I adore Simon Jordan. I love his oration, his constructive use of the English language and his disectable view of sport. I would absolutely cherish the chance to meet him. I'm an avid follower of Talk Sport and would forward myself as a very worthy fan for your prize of meeting the great man. It would be more than a dream come true ❤ ✨️
Never knew about his family and the history thanks for this. nice to learn new things about people more respect for him now aswel
Great show as always! Love the tough questions you ask
Great interview, they're all interesting and very informative well done keep it up.
Great episode gents. Love the insight and direct questions Simon.
keep doing what you're doing, you articulate your questions, opinions and views so well with each guest!
Brilliant episode, one of the best youtube channels going.
Love the interviews and the challenging questions you pose to the guests. Keep the boxing ones coming too, they make my day.
This was one hell of a mega top interview. A great insight into Schmichael's life especially throughout his United career. I love Van der Sar I love De Gea but for me personally Schmichael was our best ever goalkeeper & no doubt among the greatest not just in Premier League history but ever in footballing history
Huge congrats to getting to 100k subscribers as this is such a superb podcast. Would love to come in and pick Simon’s brains one time 🤞🏻
One of the greatest keepers and a player who helped me fall in love with football and I’m not even a Utd fan.
A superb episode with Peter. I grew up watching Peter as a dominant PL goalkeeper and had the pleasure of watching Kasper as a Leicester City supporter. A very humbling guy with well deserved and earned accolades in his great career. Keep up the punditry Pete.
Simon, you're a legend anf love your take on the game and life 👍
Love these pods, Simon is straight to the point and ruthless at times, love it
Keep up the good work with this Podcast. Always an interesting watch
really enjoyed this ,thanks a lot
Definitely looking forward to listening to this!
The great dane !!!
