5.0 out of 5 stars Schmike is the best, March 28, 2000
This autobiography is the best one that I have ever seen. It has all the details about the best ever goalkeeper in the world---PETER SCHMEICHEL. It is also include some interesting things about his relationship with his former Manchester United teammates as well. If you are a SCHMEICHEL's fan, you should buy one rightaway!

This review is from: Schmeichel the Autobiography (Paperback)
Poorly written, no real insight into the person. Its just page after page of vague match summaries and meaningless things. And some of the language is badly written as this was translated from a danish version of the book. Not worth a read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stick to your day job, honey, July 24, 2000
Even with a writer to aid him, it's clear that Schmeichel is more skilled with his hands and feet than with words.

You have to be a Schmeichel fan - as I am - to want to read this book from cover to cover.. Great literature it ain't.

I was disappointed that it did not give me more insights about his relationship with his mates in Man U, and his relationship with Ferguson - whose own books are eminently more interesting and insightful than this one. It was a little too much a Me Me Me book.

Perhaps the problem I had was that I read this book right after reading a transcript of interviews with Johan Cruyff, who is as skilled speaking as he was toying with a football.

Still, if one is interested in goalkeeping and goalkeepers, this would be a decent read even for a non Schmeichel fan.
