Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel
Peter Schmeichel was the best goalkeeper in the world of his generation. Simple as that. He was with Manchester United from 1991-99 - a period in which he won five Premier League titles, including the inaugural 1992-93 title. He also won three FA Cups and the 1998-99 UEFA Champions League. A Danish international, Schmeichel left United for Sporting Lisbon,
but returned to England for brief spells with both Aston Villa and Manchester City before retiring in 2003. Now 49 years old, Schmeichel is still the best goalkeeper of the Premier League era, full stop.
