Petr Cech (born May 20, 1982 in Plzeň, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech international footballer who is currently a goalkeeper for Chelsea F.C. (2006). He has earlier played for Viktoria Plzeň, Chmel Blšany, Sparta Prague, and Rennes. In 2005, Cech was voted best Goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League tournament of 2004/2005. Cech made his senior-level debut as a 17-year-old for FK Chmel Blšany in 1999. *** *** Čech really came of age in the 2001/02 campaign following a €700,000 transfer to AC Sparta Praha. The young custodian won a first-team place four matches into the Czech season, and proceeded to set a national record by going 855 minutes without conceding a goal. Just for good measure, he began Sparta's UEFA Champions League campaign by shutting out holders FC Bayern After just one season at the Letná, Čech joined Stade Rennais FC in July 2002 for a reported fee of €5m. Not one of France’s glamour clubs, the Czech was virtually ever-present as Rennes preserved their Ligue 1 status and reached the Coupe de France semi-finals. Played all but five of Rennes' games as they finished ninth. In January he agreed a summer move to Chelsea for Ł7m (€10.3m), signing a five-year contract. When he arrived at Chelsea, there was uncertainty over whether he would be the first choice goalkeeper as Chelsea already had Carlo Cudicini, who many considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in the English League. Once the season started, he became the first choice goalkeeper at Chelsea, and has been solid between the posts for the club. On 5th March 2005 Čech set a new Premiership record of 1025 minutes without letting in a goal. He was finally beaten by Leon McKenzie of Norwich City. He had kept a clean sheet in the league since 12th December 2004 when Thierry Henry scored for Arsenal. Čech was given a special award by the Premier League for the new record, and he was also awarded the Golden Gloves at the end of the 2004-05 season for keeping a record 21 clean sheets. He signed a new contract on 1 February 2006 which will keep him at the club until 2010. Chelsea took the Premiership title again in 2005-06, with Čech playing in all but two games in the League.
