  Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech crowns great first season at Chelsea with new record - 03-02-2005 - Radio Prague
Petr Cech, the goalkeeper for the national football team, has crowned a brilliant first season at the English club Chelsea by setting a new Premiership record of minutes gone without conceding a goal; he hasn't let in a goal in an incredible 781 minutes, or almost nine full games.
Cech, who is almost two metres tall, also made a big impact at the 2002 European Under 21s championships, where he saved two penalties in the final as the Czech Republic won the competition for the first time ever.
Cech was also first choice goalkeeper, something which would have been unlikely at a bigger club, given his age.

 Petr Cech - Chelsea's man between the posts - 11-05-2005 - Radio Prague

Cech reflected: ``In the first half I made a couple of saves which were very important for us because they could have equalised and then it would have been much harder for us.

Cech finished behind Juventus and Italy's Gianluigi Buffon in the voting, but was nominated ahead of such illustrious names as Dida of AC Milan, Casillas of Real Madrid and Kahn of Bayern Munich.
