Looking at the insane amount of records, achievements, and the fact that he would continue on to play professionally for another sport after retiring from football speaks volumes to the greatness of Petr Cech. But what if I told you, as great as he was, he could have been even greater if it wasn’t for a traumatizing injury he received in the height of his prime that, I kid you not, almost nearly ended his life. And even despite that, he was just so naturally good at goalkeeping - he would even go on to continue doing so for another professional sport outside of football. So sit back as we look through Petr Cech’s career, because I just might very well convinced you that he is beyond a doubt - the greatest premier league goalkeeper in history and certainly, belongs up there with one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.

Raymar, can you make video on underrated goalkeeper Shay Given
Please🙏🙏🙏
Kahn, Buffon, Casillas, Cech what a generation of Goalies we had in our youth, incredible!
Yes you are right Jesús!
Neuer
@@luffy_army left him out because german bias and he is a tad younger imo in a gen after them.
Doesnt take away the point hes on the same stage with them all time ofc.
Edwin Van Der Sar
@@MrHankeyable kahn is german tho
So good they named a country after his name…
New eastern european historical fact just dropped!
Took me a little bit to realize this is a joke
I mean he is his older than the Czech Republic
@@Discordisnotagoodthingu missed the joke
What's the joke I thought it was the Czech part
Such a legend, it didn’t matter what team you grew up rooting for, Čech was always respected
He is still respected to this day. I’m subbed to him on yt 😆
@@AventaEditshahaha yeah his drum covers are great
His helmet became so Iconic to the point some people may not instantly recognise him without it, including me.
hahaha thats the one thing about his injury isnt it
For me he’s been the real man of the match of the 2012 UCL final. Drogba obviously had his two crucial moments but he also caused that penalty in extra time. Cech however was the one who saved that penalty and additionally saved two more during the shootout and stopped countless attempts during the 120 minutes. He even went the right way for every single one of the penalties he faced that game. Even though he didn’t keep a clean sheet this is still the most impressive goalkeeper performance I have ever seen in a UCL final in my opinion.
keepers just rarely get the recognition unfortunately
And we would have won in 2008 when he saved CR7 penalty but terry slipped 😢
Cech literally was a beast absolute monster in front of goal specially in the UCL Final PENALTY shootour 🥶
yup man was an absolute wall!
Cech is the best goalkeeper to ever play against Lionel Messi, that alone makes him one of the best goalkeepers of all time.
Top 5 for me imo
Fraser Forster
Yup, Messi said it was Fraser Forster
As a chelsea fan.... I don't know how confident i was when Cech was in our starting 11....even messi wasn't able to score against him for years(he broke it after when he past prime still was at solid form though)......The Czech safe hands ✋
Messi never scored on cech while he was at Chelsea
Yup, Cech was that reliable last line of defense man imagine if he was as aggressive and proactive like he was before his injury
Messi finally scored against Chelsea in CL 2017-18, but Chelsea goalkeeper wasn't Petr Cech anymore.
Yup it was ridiculous, it really felt like an extra line of defence whenever someone broke through.
Its amazing to see that petr cech didnt give up at goalkeeping even with the skull injury, you cant score a goal against someone glued to the ball, absolutely Goatkeeper
Petr cech won
1 ucl
4 premier league
1 europa league
5 fa cups for me petr cech is the greatest goalkeeper in premier league history
And that questionable loss to Barcelona in UCL 🤔

I'd known about Cech's injury, but I'd never seen the X-ray or photograph of the damage that the collision caused. But I know that when I was younger and just starting to learn more about world football, the tier list started at Petr Cech and went down from there. There was just an aura about him.
Ironically, he was also had one of my favorite all-time goals scored against him: the INSANE bender from Papiss Demba Cisse that should have ended up somewhere like Section 208, Row Q, and instead curved like it had a homing beacon to go into the top-right corner. And even at that time, Cech's reputation was still such that seeing something like that catch him off-guard made you go "That was the most insane goal ever."
it honestly was such a scary injury, has a literal depression in his skull 🫣
Dude was a got damn beast in fifa too. It would be so hard to score on him on world class. Respect.
😂😂😂 facts
Cech was my childhood hero. Even though a brazilian with many role models in the 2000s, something about him caught my attention at a very young age, as I always wanted to become a keeper.
Yeah brother, he’s just one of those players you just couldnt hate! absolute legend
I wish you had become a keeper… Brazil definitely needs more of those
For me It was his helmet lol
@@NEELZE99The helmet made him stand out, iconic goalie.
It's sad that so many people are forgetting how great he was
Don’t let anyone forget my man!
I think a lot of that is anti Chelsea bias, subconscious or not
@@simpletown323 probably
Arsenal does that to a player..
After watching this video I realise chech is so underrated,most people will say peter schmeichel or van der sar or even de gea is the best goalkeeper in prem history.But you just proved that chech is the greatest goalkeeper in prem history
Btw love your videos keep it up👍👍👍
Anyone who mention keepers without him is obviously ignorant or new to football. There's absolutely no way you would watch EPL in the 2000s and not know Cech is the best goal keeper in EPL history and Top 5 in the world
@@benjaminowolabi6891i really like Schmeichel.
Imo would be Schmeichel -> Cech -> Vds
oh dont worry, Cech is really good
the Cech before that concussion could be much better
obviously Courtois will never reach Cech from 04-06 even at his peak
but its a shame about Schmeichel since he moved away at his peak
plus Schmeichel style of playing is different, he's the one of the first modern GK when he uses all parts of his body to block the ball
the eccentric type while Petr Cech is literally both even before the injury.
while VDS was unlucky imo at most part of his career
him getting replaced by Buffon is one thing but moving for Fulham when United was calling was another
after all, it's widely known that united have butter fingers Barthez, shaky Howard and Crazy Roy Carrol before his eventual move to United
although i would say he's really a great servant for fulham.
Theyre all top 3 PL all time but I have to our Cech as #1 💯
@@RaymarFootball
talent wise definitely
just Schemichel and VDS influence more for United since United never had a great replacement between and after them
I remember this quite vividly. I didn’t often watch the premier league but i happened to flip to the channel at the end of this game to witness the injury. When i saw John Terry come in as goalkeeper i was hoping that the other team would get an opportunity, because i was curious to see how well Terry could do in goal lol. But they didn’t end up really getting any chances to shoot at him
both keepers injured in 1 match was CRAZY
Not only survived it, but came back and set the 1st and 2nd all-time PL highest single season save records in the immediate years following. Those records still stand, both 1st and 2nd. Unbelievable.
Would Petr Cech have been even better if it wasn't for that life threatening injury? 🤔
Yes
I think he would be. He was out for a long time and that helmet hindered him
Despite the horrific injury. He was still world class till the end, this man is truly goated!
No the injury made him better 🗿🗿
well that implies he would have continued to use his proactive style, which would mean his body would go through more strain and more chances for injury. in my opinion this injury made him better because he was basically forced to develop insane goalie IQ to keep up with his insane performances. but he would be a whole lot entertaining to watch like casillas
I also got a concussion 3 years ago in 2020 it lasted about a year well almost because I recovered in the beginning beginning of March of 2021 and I had a concussion in late March 2020 it was a miracle and I still got to play again I’m proud of myself for overcoming
that’s great brother 🙏 hoping it never happens again
Thank you by the way for checking in :)@@RaymarFootball
As a longtime Chelsea fan I'm grateful to witness a goalkeeper Petr Cech. Such a man of talent. Go Blues 🔵🦁
A true legend 💯
I still remember that injury like it was yesterday. I was a Chelsea fan since 2005-2006 and that injury made me really sad because he was our best. He was never the same after that. That was a huge loss. I'm just glad I got to witness his greatness 🥹🫶
I'm just happy Chelsea and Cech won the UCL. He was absolutely brilliant goalkeeper. I admired him alot as Man Utd fan
you just couldnt hate the guy honestly
It might aswell be called the Čech award instead of the Czech award if you know what I mean…
Cech kept winning the Czech footballer of the year award 🤣
yeah I mean ''Čech'' literally translates to ''Czech man'' so picking the best Czech man every year was just a formality. no other ''Czech men'' in the category.. shit was rigged if you ask me lol
Man it's absolutely MENTAL. Even thought he could've died and had a big disadvantage he still proved how good he was and that he was one of the best keepers of all time in not just one, but TWO sports!!! 👏👏👏
Petr Cech is the best keeper ever. It would be unanimous if he played for a club like Barca or Real.
yeah I think more silverware would elevate him more, as well as if he was born in a better footballing nation
@@RaymarFootball if Petr cech was from Spain and played for prime Barca Petr cech would win a lot of trophy's
My favourite memory of Peter Cech is him jumping straight up with his hand out stretched and still being nowhere near Papiss Cisse's ridiculous dipping strike.
Cech is LEGEND
absolute legend indeed my man!
I still remember the first time i saw football in Tv vividly is a guy with a black helmet looking on the goal post. Cech and casillas are the two goalkeepers i look up to and the sole reason i play football
absolute legends indeed. casillas was my personal favorite
The Greatest Keeper in Premier league History.. Untouchable 🐐
Schmicheal
Van der Sar ? Schmeichel ?
@@luffy_army Cech over Van Der Sar in my opinion
🤡🤡
Imo his insane records and penalty stopping ability makes him the leagues greatest
He was a among the greats in Football GK history, I was surprised to learn from a Facebook post, that he's now a Hockey Goalie, what a badass. Quite funny how his last name Čech is sort off a play on Czech as in the country.
00:36 Definitely intended. In boxing or MMA your aim is to hurt your opponent, either end up as KO or submission. But in football in which your sole aim is to score more goals than your oppononet you can literally hurt your opponent and get away with it.
I’m sure he didnt mean to do that hard, but he was definitely trying to be physical. pretty reckless
He definitely meant to knee him. It was one of the worst fouls I've ever seen.
Can you do ''How good was Jonathan Soriano''???
Can't imagine Tech playing without his headgear. Iconic keeper, incredibly consistent.
I remember my childhood friend(back in elementary/primary) detached his bottle's straps and wrapping it around his jead just to look like petr cech, lol
Legendary keeper
😂😂😂 man Cech must have been his idol. legend indeed
He would have been the best keeper in football history if he didn't receive those injuries🐐🐐
He still is with them
he was just so insane before that injury… could have broken so many more records and at a faster pace
@@RaymarFootball and even after that injury too he was crazy good....
Just shows how good he could have been
Yeah, that Petr Cech injury was horrific...especially considering that Hunt did it again later in the match to the substitute keeper and cause Terry to be the stand in goalie for the rest of the match.
No he didn't. That was a collision with Ibrahima Sonko.
Favorite all time keeper for me. Made any kid who watched at least consider the role of keeper due to his excellence
Man I love your videos I started watching futbol last summer and you videos make me so knowledgeable
that means a lot brother 🙏 much love and hope you continue to enjoy and learn!
Never thought i'd see the day id be early to a Raymar video!
thank you for the support brother 🙏
Great video , thank you ! I don’t think Jose actually signed him for Chelsea , I think Ranieri signed him and Robben before the season ended and then was fired . jose then went on to inherit them
Legend 💥💪
MY GOATKEEPER
not a bad choice 🫡
He just made from3rd fav to second behind Neuer
Big Pete was the best and the most humble dude out there
he really is goated honestly
Finally!! My man peter!! Need one on hendrik Larsson also Mr rey!
the list is long but he’s definitely on it!
@@RaymarFootball thanks man!
We will never get a goalkeeper as good as Cech for Chelsea. We thought Courtouis would be the next Cech, until he left us for Real Madrid. No one can replace him, My childhood was blessed watching Cech in goal, Terry in defense, Lampard in midfield and Drogba up front. We miss that squad and Cech dearly 🥲 Thank you for covering this topic Raymar 💙
Never was a Chelsea fan, but I always admired Cech.
Petr the great. A legend 💙
absolute legend
You can say that for so many players.. only a few get to play at their best for their entire career without dealing with anything that gets in their way
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it brother
Petr my man. 👍
💯
Even I am aware how awesome Cech was. It's ashame that there are people out there who are forgetting just how much of a brick wall 🧱 he is.
Could you perhaps consider making a video about roberto baggio please?
Peter Cech was a beast!!!!
Awesome amazing legend GOAT mr blue
24 clean sheets in a season… Chelsea will miss you forever. The greatest Goalkeeper in the Premier League
Imagine without the injury… he might have broken his own record
@@RaymarFootball you are very right.
petr cech’s iconic headguard ❤
Greatness
0:41 bro who drew a smiley face on his skull💀
I still remember that Reading game and Stephen Hunt collission.
yeah brother, thats actually insane how hard he got hit
@@RaymarFootball Despite the insinuations, it was an accident. Cech collided with Stephen Hunt's standing leg. Cech just had a skull that was thinner than normal.
Nice vid. Please make video about George Best. ❤
Coming soon!
It is indeed scary to think that he would have been even better if not for the injury, given how much of a monster he was even after it.
Also, in the 2012 CL final penalty shootout, he "only" saved two, but went the correct way every time.
Yeah man pre injury Cech was breaking records left and right
This man cannot stop getting injured
unfortunately one of the most injury prone keepers
What a complete monster. Wow.
a true beast!
Christian Chivu had an injury like that. Shocking what could happen in a football pitch
He was one of the best
easily the best im premier league history imo
Good vid!
glad you could enjoy my man 👊
We want PEPE.
Definitely high on the list 🫡
This just makes me remember how good carlo cudicini was when he stepped in.
I can't speak football the head, but a futsal goalie I had been hit the nuts, face, and almost had my arm broken. Football is dangerous, but I love it.
My favorite goalkeeper of all time. Chech is just monster in front of that goalie
Cech uses his hands to this day as he has a youtube channel in wchich you can find him playing drums
He posted not too long ago too 😂
The title on the video on the home page is “the footballer who was so good it almost got him killed” but when I watch it it says “the goalkeeper who survived footballs worst injury” how is this possible
haha could refresh again? I changed it but maybe you had your homepage open?
1. Oliver Kahn
2. Petr Čech
3. Gianluigi Buffon
Special place for Lev Yashin who is possibly the best goalkeeper of all the time, but its imposible to compare him with those above.
Please do Baggio
0:42 😊
What song does he use usually?
People keep mentioning Buffon, Casillas and Neuer. But they forgot another Goatkeeper, Petr Cech
And greatest Striker of all Time Fifa 23
😂😂
Iv constantly said cech is the best ever premiere league goalkeeper he holds onto shots most keepers can only parry and parrys shots most keepers cant even get to
agreed completely brother
Yes
yes indeed
You didn't talk about his international games with Czech Republic
Beast of laliga Cassilas and Premier League is Peter Cezh
check out Bert Trautman....now thats a keeper.
Thanks
youre welcome brother
Its amazing to see a 1.96m goalkeeper got a high reflexes.
yup he’s a unicorn
Man's so underrated
incredibly!
Like your content
Cech winning the Czech award....fitting🙂
😂😂😂
1:41 I fail to understand how goalkeeper is safer than a foward
He was so good and reliable that Frank Lampard once called Cech up for Chelsea as an emergency goalkeeper, coz he wasnt convinced with the quality of Chelsea keepers back then (Kepa, Mendy)
wouldnt blame him honestly 😂
Ranieri got chelsea to buy Cech and the deal was in progress when Mourinho signed
You ever heard of Itumeleng Khune? 🔥🔥 He deserves his flowers too!
I havent actually… tell me more though 🤔
@@RaymarFootball He revolutionized the keeper sweeper position. He's the reason why most modern goal keepers are good with their feet. His distribution was a thing of beauty. Please look him up I swear you'll be amazed. He played in South African in the PSL for Kaizer chiefs. Where he got his claim to fame was during the confed cup! 🔥🔥
I want Zanetti and Juliu cecar
Cesar was one of my fifa favorites 😂
Goat goalkeeper
goatkeeper you mean? haha
What song do you usually use@@RaymarFootball
He was the reason behind the Chelsea's 2012 success.
Second comment nice. I love your videos btw, keep it up!
thank you so much for the support brother 🙏 means a lot honestly 🥈
bro, do Fernando Muslera, most underrated keeper
our national tresure
