Petr Čech (Czech pronunciation: [pɛtr̩ ˈtʃɛx] ; born 20 May 1982) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper and current ice hockey goaltender playing for the Oxford City Stars of the NIHL South Division 1. He has been described as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and, by some, as the greatest goalkeeper, alongside Peter Schmeichel, in Premier League history. Čech began his senior career at Chmel Blšany in 1999, where he played sporadically for two seasons prior to relocating to Sparta Prague in 2001. At age 19, Čech became a first team regular, and his single campaign with the club saw him register a league record of not conceding a goal in 903 competitive minutes. Read more on Wikipedia
