Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet.
In today’s episode, our special guest is one of the best goalkeepers ever in Peter Schmeichel, joined by hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott.
We kick things off with Jamie Carragher sharing how the legendary Danish 1992 Euro champion Peter helped him experience the iconic Yellow Wall at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
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.
Schmeichel shares a behind-the-scenes story from the dressing room, where he once clashed with Sir Alex Ferguson in an Anfield dressing room, whilst 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 him.

Who is the best current PL goalkeeper?
I had a dream during the night that Roy wasn't on the overlap, thank God it wasn't real
Really good episode – Schmeichel is a hall of famer. Really tired of the constant Man Utd focus though. Please mix it up! Does no one else want to come on the show? 😂
Awesome episode ❤
Was this before Celtic got proper spanked by dortmund😂
Great Dane. He was the man back then!
What a legend – amazing episode !! Still waiting for Arsene & Sir Alex to come on 😭❤
Ian Wright skipped this one then 😂😅😂😅😂
tbf The united players have guitars
Cant wait til 6 months time when the guests are the United 2006 reserve team 😂
55:46 Jamie’s footballing memory is incredible. Remembers the scorer and the goal!
The Danny Simpson moment. 🤣
Get Robbie Fowler on this
Did the man u boyz still go for a man u win? Top 6
1:04:24 Roy knowing he one the fight just smiling at the way Peter doesn’t want to go into the details because he lost. These guys are winners! Love it!
Peter Schmeichel, winning titles with Brondby, many more with Man Utd, even with Sporting CP, and the Euro with Denmark(!), but just getting emotional speaking about his son's achievement with Leicester City. Proud father. Respect 💯
Greatest keeper of all time in my opinion hands💪🏼
No Wrighty 🤔😂…
Roy could tolerate Schmeichel coming on the show but Wrighty couldn't 😀
Jamie is a encyclopaedia of football history
Apart from a certain bbc1 series which I've been watching since the 80's, Gary Neville's Overlap is the only show that i would sit down for over an hour and watch with enjoyment.
I've had a few 'brush ups' or contacts if you like, with a few known premier league players in the 90's.
The good old days
The behind the scenes goated
No.1 Schmeichel
No.2 V.der Sar
No.3 De Gea
Roy Keane is great. Common sense gets you a long way.
This was the best one I have watched so far, the stories amazing.
One of the best goalkeeper's to ever do it in his prime. Good to see
Wrighty and him on good terms nowadays, lol. 😊. Great stuff.
Ian Wright still hasn’t forgiven him lol
See how everyone was so captivated listening to Peter great story teller & a proper insight into how Peter is as a person. How the players at utd could learn a valuable lesson by watching this episode in so many aspects of they could take away 5
Awesome episode, Takes you back to those early 90’s. Need to get Kanchelskis on too….
Answer it peter and continues to ask questions
No likey no Wrighty.
Schmeichel says ferguson wanted you to fire back at him if he had a go at you and then in the next sentence said ferguson threaten him with the sack for talking back to him.
What…no ian wright??!!!😂
I can see Roy has got so much love and respect for Peter
10 mins in and I can see Peter doesn’t like Jamie.
legendary episode 👏🏾🏆
where's Wrighty, does he not get on with Peter?
Peter schmiechel is low key Kevin de bruynes dad 😮
Despite what they said. Carragher. Cannot. Sing.
Gary looks incredible for 49 btw! I was shocked when he said that!
Were is Ian?? When are they gonna talk about his takle on Schmeichel?
Denis Irwin Denis Irwin Denis Irwin 🙌🙌🙌
I sat behind the Great Dane on a plane to Denmark a few years ago. He had a red phone and red headphones. Always a red 🔴
His eyes are really close together.
Martinez didn't prove Arsenal wrong. He didn't want to stay and fight for number 1, we knew his quality already but he was Backup to Leno at the time
Raya won goldem glove last season having played a few games less as he joined late in that summer window, yet he's not mentioned as one of the best!?
I've heard enough. HAHAHAHHA He's mint!
They mixed up the guitars, the first one he was playing was actually tuned 😂
