Petr Cech is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Arsenal and captains the Czech Republic national team.

Cech is a brilliant shot-stopper, he could save all kinds of close range shots and long shots, he could concentrate his mind on the ball movement.

On 5 March 2005, Cech set a new Premier League record of 1,025 minutes without letting in a goal. This record has since been broken by Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar. After keeping a clean sheet in the league since 12 December 2004 when Thierry Henry scored for Arsenal. Cech was given a special award by the Premier League for the new record, and he was also awarded the Golden Glove at the end of the 2004–05 season for keeping a record 21 clean sheets in the Premier League. The team, having conceded only 15 league goals in the entire season, also set a new record.

Cech also kept a clean sheet for Chelsea in the 2007 FA Cup final against Manchester United. He and United's Edwin van der Sar shared the honour of being the first goalkeepers to keep a clean sheet over 90 minutes in a competitive fixture, but Cech became the first goalkeeper to end a competitive game unbeaten, at the new Wembley Stadium, as Chelsea beat United 1-0 to win the FA Cup.

In 2008–09 season, Cech and Chelsea finished the season with the joint-tightest defence in the Premier League along with Manchester United, having conceded just 24 goals over the course of the season. Cech helped Chelsea's 2009 FA Cup final triumph over Everton. Chelsea won 2-1, earning the Czech his seventh trophy at the club. In 2009–10 season, on 13 April, Cech kept his 100th Premier League clean sheet for Chelsea in a match against Bolton Wanderers. He won his second Golden Glove award for the season, having kept 17 clean sheets in the Premier League as Chelsea secured a third title. He concluded his season by saving a penalty against Portsmouth in the FA Cup final, ensuring that the Blues went on to retain the Cup and achieve their first domestic double.

In 2011–12 season, Cech saved a penalty in extra time, and two penalties in the subsequent penalty shootout, of the 2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich resulting in the first Champions League win for Chelsea. By winning the Champions League, Cech became just the fourth Czech to win the competition. Cech finish the 2013–14 season as the joint winner of the Barclays Golden Glove award along with Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, both keeping 16 clean sheets.

On 1 March 2015, Cech started in goal in the 2015 Football League Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory to win the trophy for the third time in his career. After joining Arsenal, Cech recorded his 170th Premier League clean sheet in a 2-0 win against Bournemouth on 28 December 2015, setting a new league record, and overtaking previous record holder David James.
