Kasper Schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel earns my admiration mostly for refusing to be just a famous surname. Being the son of a legendary keeper could have crushed a lesser talent, yet he ground his way up through loan spells in the lower leagues before becoming a genuine top-flight goalkeeper. His heroics in Leicester's improbable title run are burned into my memory, all reflexes and defiance. Carrying the number one for Denmark, he stepped out of his father's enormous shadow and wrote his own chapter.
