vote for Petr Cech

Petr Cech was born on 20th May 1982 in Plzen, Czechoslovakia and began as a junior for Viktoria Plzen. He turned pro with Chmel Blšany, before moving to Sparta Prague for €700,000 for the 2001-02 campaign. Petr won a first team place four matches into the Czech season, and proceeded to set a national record by going 928 minutes without conceding a goal. Just for good measure, he began Sparta's UEFA Champions League campaign by shutting out holders Bayern Munich. After just one season, Cech joined Stade Rennais FC in July 2002 for a reported fee of €5m. In January 2004, he agreed a summer move to Chelsea for £7m signing a five-year contract.

A commanding presence in the penalty area and a superb shot-stopper, Petr Cech has now established himself as one the finest goalkeepers in the world. At international level, he was voted into the All-Star team at Euro 2004 after helping his country reach the semi finals; he was also voted Best Goalkeeper in the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League after some stunning saves helped his team progress as far as the semi finals, where they lost to eventual winners Greece on the silver goal rule; and he was in the FIFPro and Champions League 2005-06 Team of the Season.

Petr Cech currently holds three records: a national record of not conceding a goal in 855 competitive minutes and an English Premiership record of not conceding a goal in 1,025 minutes and keeping 25 clean sheets in Chelsea's 2004-05 title-winning campaign.
