Leicester City captain Kasper Schmeichel is the subject of a new ITV documentary.

The broadcaster released a short trailer for 'Against The Odds: Kasper Schmeichel - Keeping The Faith' on Wednesday afternoon.

Schmeichel has made over 450 appearances for Leicester City since joining from Leeds United in 2011.

As well as playing a starring role in the club's Championship, Premier League and FA Cup glory, he has also had to deal with tragedy and trauma off the pitch.

He witnessed the fatal helicopter crash that killed beloved chairman Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and four others back in October 2018.

The Dane was also on the pitch when international teammate Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during Euro 2020 this summer.

His sensational story will now be told in a new documentary, with contributions from Kasper, his father Peter, Wes Morgan and Brendan Rodgers shown in the trailer.

Leicester City fans will undoubtedly be looking forward to learning more about their goalkeeper and club legend whose love and passion for the club has been unrivalled over the past decade.

Good stuff

Show how far we have come as a club, no one would have been interested in our players 6 or 7 years.

Chelsea would have been making enquires about their availability though.

Bit gutted to see the beard go, the other night. My mate is a dead ringer for him but not so much now. 

[Wymsey]

He deserves the recognition that he deserves.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was the dressing room type who would look after other players, hype others up etc.

A double header with the Vardy movie

People want him dropped too?

He's already a club legend 

Hope he continues to make world class saves which other goalies can only dream of.

Hope the 'presenter' for this is someone decent, and not someone like Piers Morgan.

It'll be Bradley Walsh.

 

He's on every show.

And deservedly so

I want a whole 15 minute section on the goal against Yeovil that never was which ends in a doorstep confrontation between Kasper and the officials of that game.

[Guest Manini]

His accent fascinates me. He’s clinging on to a Danish twang, yet sometimes sounds as Alderley Edge as they come.

Actually, Big Nige should narrate it. He's pretty much Kasper's second Dad.

Glad someone’s said this, as I forgot to mention it in the post match thread. It’s crazy to think that some fans would drop him. The blokes still the best shot stopper in the league I think. 
 

Of course, his kicking and distribution let’s him down a lot of the time, but regardless of people trying to tell you that that’s now a vital part of football, his primary role is to keep goal. Hence him being a goalkeeper 😂

 

That said, I’m not sure why he exacerbates the situation so frequently, especially when his dad used to have a decent throw on him

I’ve got a scar running the length of my shin celebrating that ‘goal’

It'll be Alex Scott, currently compulsory she presents everything

Probably will be changed now considering we’re playing Everton on that date.
