Peter Schmeichel

Denmark is home for Peter Schmeichel and he has represented his country 129 times from 1987 to 2001. Unfortunately for this talented keeper, Denmark didn’t qualify for the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, but they did reach the quarterfinals in 1998. He’s best known for his career with Manchester United, the 6’3” keeper was a mighty opponent in one-on-one situations.

Ray Clemence

Granted Ray Clemence was overshadowed quite often by English goalkeeper, Peter Shilton but he still made history, especially during his time at Liverpool. While he never earned World Cup glory, he did set a record for Liverpool – the team went unbeaten in 42 games during the 1978-79 season.
