Kasper Schmeichel’s Nice little earner leaves Leicester with huge gloves to fill…After 11 years at Leicester having paid his dues through the leagues, Kasper Schmeichel has left English football. But Johnny Nic reckons we’ll see him again…Kasper Peter Schmeichel is a 35-year-old 6’2” Danish goalkeeper who has just left Leicester City after 11 years at the club and 16 years in English football, to move to Nice, France.
Naturally, the financial splurge couldn’t last and they released him from his contract and rather nobly surrendered any wages owed to him. Leeds United came in and took him to the Championship but it was an unhappy season and he didn’t settle. Of course, he was a Premier League winner in 2015-16 in that incredible and unlikely season. And an FA Cup winner in 2020-21.
At 6’2” he’s hardly the tallest keeper in an era where 6’5”-ers seem to rule the roost. However, he is that one thing that all fans want keepers to be: brave. To be a goalie is to be exposed all the time in every game. Other players can hide from the ball, other players can make mistakes, other players can have an off day but goalkeepers cannot do any of those things without catastrophic consequences. So it’s no surprise that they tend to be very individualistic and walk their own path.
