A left-sided midfield player with a venomous shot, tremendous skill, vision and pace, Pavel Nedved was named European Footballer of the Year in 2003.
National team
Nedved made his international debut in June 1994 in a 3-1 win against the Republic of Ireland and was the driving force behind the Czech Republic's run to the final of EURO 96?. He played at UEFA EURO 2000?, where the Czechs fell at the first hurdle.
UEFA EURO 2004? qualifying
Nedved was the heartbeat of the Czech midfield as Karel Brückner's side finished top of qualifying Group 3. He missed only the first game, a 2-0 win in Moldova, and scored the first goal in a 4-0 win at home to Austria and an equaliser away to Belarus.
Club
Started at AC Dukla Praha, where he played for a season prior to a switch to city rivals AC Sparta Praha in 1992. The club secured domestic championships in each of the next three seasons before winning the Czech Cup in Nedved's final campaign in his homeland, 1995/96, before heading to Italy and S.S. Lazio.
1996: A favourite at the Stadio Olimpico, Nedved's Lazio won the Coppa Italia and 1998 and in 1998/99 claimed the last-ever UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Nedved scoring against RCD Mallorca in the final. The following year he claimed an Italian league and cup double. After nine goals in 31 league matches in 2000/01 he opted for a change of scene and a €41.2m move to Turin.
2001: So highly prized was Nedved in Rome that Dino Zoff is alleged to have asked him how he felt the team should play, although it was in black and white that his season ended with another Scudetto triumph.
2002/03: Perhaps Nedved's best season, he was inspirational as Juve defended their Serie A title, scoring nine times, and excelled in Europe. Named Czech Footballer of the Year for a fourth time, he scored against Real Madrid CF in the Champions League semi-final but was later booked and sat out the loss to AC Milan.
