Schmeichel has 15... Surely being successful and a great player has to make the decision regarding these things. Anyway back onto Cech, fantastic career. Absolutely top pro. Hopefully he goes into coaching, a very smart man who has plenty to offer, maybe here in some capacity? kellzfresh, Johnnyeye, kc_blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Superblue 6,372 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2019 Phenomenal goalkeeper who dedicated the best years of his career to this club and never complained when Courtois eventually came in. I think it has always been understated also how well he came back from what was a life threatening injury to continue his career at the absolute highest level for a number of years continuing to have to show the bravery and character of a top keeper. Like Drogba, his Chelsea career will forever be highlighted by Munich. Drogba got most of the plaudits but Cech saved Robben's penalty in extra time and two in the shootout (definitely tipped Schweinsteigers pen on to the post) - couldn't have asked for much more against a German team in a shootout! A huge Chelsea legend, regardless of his last couple of years at Arsenal, and I wish him all the best in his retirement. !Hazard!, Johnnyeye, Fernando and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2019 The thoughts of him tipping THAT Schweinsteiger penalty onto the post will live with me forever.

Popular Post! Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well done to Mourinho for playing him over Carlo. That was a big call at the time. Proved to be the correct one, but maybe not for Courtois being preferred over him later Johnnyeye, kellzfresh, Bosnian Blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Johnnyeye 7,509 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2019 Not enough words to describe this gem of a player and human being, consumate professional and gentleman, a role model for any young GK willing to make it at the top. He will be forever immortalized at this club, without him there wouldn't have been a Champions League win for Chelsea and not just that, but the other countless trophies he has helped this club win, not even after that horrible injury vs Reading did he quit, he cameback stronger like a bang. We will all be forever indebted to him alongside other Chelsea greats, thank you for everything Big Pete, KTBFFH always manpe, Fernando, BlueSunshine and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Milan 17,957 Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted January 15, 2019 It was super nice to have this little connection to the Czech Republic (it actually happened a few times during my time in England that people thanked me for Petr Cech ) and it is fair to say that he brought a lot, a lot of new Czech fans to SW6. He is a class goalkeeper and an even classier man. Fulham Broadway, !Hazard!, Johnnyeye and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 His save against Carroll in the FA Cup final too was a match winner and one of the greatest saves I've ever seen in a game of that level of importance and magnitude. He had no right to keep that one out. Bosnian Blue, manpe, Johnnyeye and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
