Leicester keeper Schmeichel: I'm nothing like Dad

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel admits he's nothing like his father, Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel.

Peter famously used to go into lockdown 24 hours before a match, sticking to rigid sleep patterns and not communicating with people outside his close family.

"I think I am a bit different to how my Dad was," he told the Daily Mail.

"He had very set routines, I take it as it comes. I have two small children, you can't really set too many routines when it comes to kids. I just relax, enjoy them and not really think too much about the game beforehand. It is more on the day itself I start building up."
