Anyone with schmeichel lower than #1 either doesn’t remember, was in a drug/drink coma in the 90s or is too young to have seen him.
he literally commanded his entire box, bellowed at the defenders, plucked every cross out of the air, scared opposing strikers, made impossible saves, mastered the star jump save (hello Zamorano!), when you thought you’d dribble past him a big hand would come out of nowhere, he could throw the ball further and more accurately than most passes, good with the ball at his feet, he could head better than some of our current defenders, he could volley, he could throw Turkish demonstrators of the pitch, he was an absolute leader. Best ever imho.
