Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been crowned the 2016 Danish Player of the Year after helping his team to a stunning Premier League title last season.
The 30-year-old, who was also nominated for the award in 2014 and 2015, broke Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen’s three-year stranglehold over the award after his role in the 5000-1 upset.
Schmeichel was presented with the trophy by his father, Manchester United legend Peter, also a previous winner, at the annual awards show staged by Danish TV channel DR on Saturday.
He took to Twitter on Sunday to express his pride, posting a picture of himself with the star-shaped prize.
