79 m. ago Schmeichel review – amazing saves but too few insights into the great Dane

This by-numbers documentary of a glittering goalkeeping career only really kicks off when the footballer and his father get talkingIn Denmark it’s actually pronounced “Schmy-shell” — but that’s the extent of the stunning revelations provided by Owen Davies’s worshipful and rote sports doc about the former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, now 61. Footage of all his amazing saves – the ones that won Euro 92 for the Danish national side, or led Man U to the treble in ’99 – impressively affirm the Great Dane’s greatness. The question though is how? And why?At 6ft 4in tall, his imposing physicality obviously had something to do with it (“The span was like an aeroplane!” marvels Sir Alex Ferguson). Schmeichel’s competitive edge and total inability to abide weakness are attributed to the parenting of a tough, Polish-born father who was orphaned at a young age by the second world war; their story of estrangement and reconciliation is worthy of soap opera. But it’s the insights that the Schmeich...

Hearty warming dishes which make the most of the best seasonal vegThey were hidden between bouquets of parsley and coriander on the green grocer’s display. Fat bunches of true spinach so fresh they stood up by themselves, their leaves as sharp as a Stone Age arrow, tied up with rubber bands. The sort of crisp-stemmed spinach that would laugh in the face of those flabby, round-ended leaves incarcerated in cellophane at the supermarket. I bought four bunches.It was a sausage-and-beans kind of night. Fat sausages from a traditional butcher, coarse-textured and freckled with thyme and black pepper. Continue reading...
