Why was Kasper not at Jamie Vardy’s house to watch Leicester win the Premier League? What impact did being one of the first on the scene at the helicopter crash that killed Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha have on his life? How did growing up with the likes of Eric Cantona, Steve Bruce and his father Peter give him a burning desire to succeed that was unmatched by his peers?

Gary is joined by Premier League and FA Cup winner Kasper Schmeichel to discuss his incredible life in football so far and how Denmark are planning to stop England at the Euros.

  1. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, I always enjoy listening to a Schmeichel. Both are legends in their own way. Brilliant stories, whether they are happy or sad ones.

  2. One of the best interviews I have seen – the insight into the world of goalkeeping at the professional level was eye opening. Kasper has always impressed me on the pitch but this interview has shown me that he is truly a quality human being , humble, intelligent and thoughtful. It doesn’t surprise me as I have always held his father in high regard on and off the pitch. Thank you Gary Lineker!!!

  3. Us people outside football have always have this strange perception of footballers being not quite bright. For me, personally, I believe this is due to my dealings with the failed footballers I've played against in amateur leagues and in other matches. But listening to Kasper, so well spoken, the way he expresses himself, his vocabulary and obvious intelligence – I must admit I'm in awe. Great guy, thanks for this interview!

  4. Still cannot believe we ever let Schmeicel go. A huge reason why we got relegated in the first place.
    Thankfully we have a brilliant Danish keeper now in Hermansen but should’ve got it done last season 👀

  5. As a Leicester fan for almost 30 years and as a Dane I appreciate what Kasper and Peter has done.
    But I just can't stand listening to either of them.
    Imagine winning the Premier League and the euros in '92 and still be nervous around Jamie Carragher..
    They are interesting in the sense, that they are both deeply uintelligent people, who managed to carve out great careers in football, that is amazing, good on them!

    Neither Kasper or his father have learned to take criticism and they, still after 30 years feel need to talk themselves up. It is cringeworthy and I cant wait until he retires from national football.
