[edit] Schmeichel and Sporting Clube de Portugal
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)
- 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.

I've added another nickname, The Battleaxe from Gladsaxe. Before anyone starts taking it off, this nickname was mentioned on a Man United video some time ago although I can't remember which one.81.149.178.248 08:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Goals scored
According to the wiki he scored a few goals for some of his clubs. Does anyone have any further info on this? Presumably they were all penalties as its pretty rare for a goalkeeper to be in the opposing half let alone have a shot on goal. I guess some could have been lucky kicks from inside his half. brob (talk) 23:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Schmeichel was one of the first goalies who frequently came up for corners when his team was trailing late on - if you watch United's equaliser in the 1999 UCL final, he's in the penalty area - and I vaguely remember that's how his Man Utd goal was scored, in an FA Cup tie.

[edit] Polish ancestry?
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)
