Petr Čech wanted a career in ice hockey but his family could not afford the equipment required to play it. Thus, he switched to football. At the start of his career, he played as a left-winger but after suffering a leg fracture at the age of 10, he became a goalkeeper.

Cech has a weaker skull as a result of being a triplet.

Is that why he wears that head cover?

The head gear was recommended after a collision with opposition player which sidelined him for months while at Chelsea to protect his fragile skull.
