Kasper SCHMEICHEL - Leicester City FC - Banks, Shilton, Schmeichel: Legends all, but Kasper did it.

Kasper Schmeichel pictured during Leicester's final home game of their famous 2015/16

Premier League season, when after 132 years they won the top division.


Neither Gordon Banks (293 City games) nor Peter Shilton (286 City games) experienced that at club level.


(OK they did outshine Kasper in all other respects.) Kasper was just one of three players to appear in all of

the Foxes League game that season - along with Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton.

He had 15 clean sheets (Arsenal's P. Cech had 16 - the most)


Below are more images of the Danish keeper and information leading up to Leicester's historic win.

Kasper was voted his country's top player at International level that season.

 

 

Kasper looking a little uneasy as West Ham United give City a tough

game on 17th. April 2016, in a 2-2 draw at home.

 

 

A more secure Kasper pictured a week later as Leicester see off

Swansea City 4-0 at The King Power.

It was 21 years since any team other than Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City

or Manchester United had won the top-flight title.  Only three other

Premiership Teams cost less than Leicester City.
