Schmeichel – Watch the trailer for the new football documentary

Dogwoof has announced that Owen Davies’ gripping and inspiring documentary Schmeichel will be released on all digital platforms from 21 February.

Peter Schmeichel is a giant of football, perhaps the greatest goalkeeper of the all time. In a professional career spanning 22 years, Schmeichel is the most decorated goalkeeper in Premier League history, was part of the Danish football team that won European Championship against all odds in 1992 and captained Manchester United in the Champions League final victory that clinched the treble in 1999. Schmeichel is an incredible family story. One of great success, failure and redemption.

Featuring unprecedented access to the international sporting hero, with a mix of never-before-seen personal archive footage, interviews with Peter Schmeichel, his family and key figures such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona and Gary Neville who have been a part of his journey both on and off the pitch.

Owen Davies directs SCHMEICHEL, which is produced by Simon Lazenby and Victoria Barrell (McEnroe) of Sylver Entertainment. Dogwoof and Sky Showtime are executive producers.
