Petr Cech

Position         : Goalkeeper

Date of birth : 20 May, 1982

Team              : Sparta Prague (Czech Republic)

Nationality     : Czech Republic

Notes              : Czech U/21 international who recently made the move from Chmel Blsany to Sparta Prague. He became the second most expensive signing ever but is being bought as a long term investment. Was an alternate player for the Czech Republic Olympic squad at Sydney 2000 who would have been brought into the squad if an alternate goalkeeper had been injured, but this was not the case. Showed his great skills when he made three saves in the penalty shoot-out in the final of the 2002 European U/21 Championships to give Czech Republic the title.
