Former goalkeeper and Chelsea's current technical and performance advisor, Petr Cech is to play competitive ice hockey.

The 37-year-old will play as goalie (netminder) for Guildford Phoenix which is located close to where Cech lives. When his Chelsea Football Club schedule allows, he is ready to help them in their league games.

‘I am delighted to have the opportunity to play with the Phoenix to get the match experience,’ Cech said.

‘I hope I can help this young team to achieve their goals for the season and try to win as many games as possible when I have the chance to play.

‘After 20 years of professional football this is going to be a wonderful experience for me to play the game I loved to watch and play as a kid.’

Guildford’s head coach Milos Melicherik added: ‘We are very excited to have Petr join the Phoenix team and we are looking forward to seeing him in action this weekend. He has improved a lot since I first saw him on the ice and I am excited to see him play.’

That first game is a home one this Sunday when Swindon Wildcats 2 will be the first side Cech will be trying to keep out of his goal.

He is of course the most successful goalkeeper in Chelsea Football Club history, including holding our record for the most number of clean sheets.

Having retired from football following the Europa League final in May when he played for Arsenal against Chelsea, Cech returned to Stamford Bridge in his new technical role in June.

At the age of 13, Cech had to make the decision between pursuing a future in ice hockey or in football, because he simply did not have time to practice both. Since moving to England he has frequently watched ice hockey in Guildford, as well as keeping up to speed with everything going on in the NHL in America.

Back in 1998, the 16-year-old Cech was captivated by his nation, the Czech Republic’s dramatic triumph in that year's Winter Olympics in Japan. He takes up the story.

'It was in Nagano so the ice hockey quarter-finals, semi-finals and final were all in the morning, so I didn't go to school,' he laughs. 'We all tried to find a way not to miss it.

'That year was the first the NHL allowed all the best players to go and participate, so people called it the "Tournament of the Century" because every nation could choose any player they wanted from every competition. This time is the same so it will be exciting.'

Hehehe. English language has caused katakata for some people.

The fact that they suspend plenary doesn't mean they are on holiday. What it means is they will be working at committee level, engaging the MDAs and other stakeholders on the appropriation bill so that it can get passed.

Committee level is where most of the works are done. However, what the public gets to see on TV is the plenary session. So, do not think their work starts and ends at the plenary, no. The real work is done behind the scene...

There are so many I cannots in your response to what you are told to do. Collect your one month salary and move on. I know it is painful coupled with the fact that you're married and you need money.

Expect these kinds of things in a one man business, some of them want to be worshiped.
Look for a business to do. The truth is that the kind of comfortable job you're looking for is only government job. only few private institution can give you that.

If you are looking for a comfortable job, you wont need to apply for job. The fact that you are looking for does not mean you trade your pride. Read my last comment up. There are so many things I refused to put here. No one single member of staff works with happiness. There is no commitment because they know they will be sacked tomorrow or next. That is not how a working environment should look...

Dear Madam,
Why do you think the company would employ you?. There are too many i cannot's in your statement. You look like an employee that is complex with an 'it's not my job role' attitude. The modern employee is one who doesn't run away from challenges, instead learns on any job role given to her and only complain if she faces challenges in the role.
Who told u it's the company that must pay for your medicals?, in my previous job with Zenith Bank, the company paid for my medicals, in my current job with the federal government, i paid for my medical. I didn't complain.
Who told you it's compulsory for the company to give you transport, they've offered you a car already. Is it their fault you don't know your way around town? Should the company take you on a tour around town or pay someone to take you around?
You complained about two guarantors for an 80k job. Are you sure you are ready to work?. Even if it's 5k job you have to provide a guarantor expecially if it's a private sector job.
You're married, you've got kids we understand. It seems your family will always come first before work. You leave work before your boss cos you have kids. What rudeness!. You're really not ready to work.
In my current job, i was employed as a Statistician, I've worked more in other units in my parastatal than the statistics department. Any role they give me, i accept it and do my job quietly without complain. I do it even better than those i met there.
Don't you think all these complain up & down will explain why they sacked you, cos you're not ready to work. You're not ready to adapt to new roles. You just want your salary. If i was a sole proprietor and notice a new employee with your attitude, i don't think I'll like to keep you for long.
My advice is you drop that idea of going to court. You will loose. Work on your attitude to work. Or better learn a skill or trade that will allow you have time for your family.

I joined this company in Lagos about 3 weeks ago. To be frank I did not apply to the company. I was directed there by the recruitment company that interviewed us in another company. In the first company, I applied as a Secretary. When I got to this second company, we were interviewed and I told them I had worked as a Secretary/Admin executive in my former company.

To cut the long story short, I was offered employment. In the offer letter, they wrote PA as my post. I called the HR before resumption that I can not do the work of PA as a married woman because I know what it entails. I was told not to bother that they used a template to prepare my letter.

In the offer letter, I was to be on probation period of 6 months and to give them 2 months notice of resignation or 2 months salary in lieu of notice.

I was to present a medical report of fitness. When I told them that it is the responsibility of the company to fund this, they insisted to go any government hospital and foot the bill myself and present it. I did that.

I was also told to present two guarantors who will go to court to swear to an oath. On N80,000 job o!

When I resume, I was told that my post is Admin officer and I will be in charge of general admin and logistics. The first time I went out on duty, I was told they don't pay transport money that I should take any car when I am going out. I told the MD I don't know most route in Lagos and besides my driving licence has expired. (Please note that I was interviewed as a Secretary to the MD). I explained that even if there is car, it is the work of driver to take me around and not me driving around. The MD insisted that they don't do that and as long as I am in the company, I will be using my money to go out, if I can not drive the company car.

It was stated in the offer letter that you resume 8 and close 6 and 9-2 on Saturday. However, I discovered when I joined them that you can not leave the office until the MD closes, even on saturdays. This is a man that will be coming to the office around 2 and may not close until 9/10pm. So, you dare not leave the office until he leaves. Whenever it is 7:30pm, I will pick my bag and go to him to bid him farewell. I learnt he complains each time I leave. I have three kids for goodness sake and I don't get home until 9/9.30pm.

One day, the MD told me I will have to be travelling once in a while but I told him I have children and husband, so I could not travel out of Lagos. I had told them this even during the interview.

Another problem with the company is the rate at which they sack people. The HR lady that sent me my letter was sacked a week after my resumption and I was told that is the usual occurence there. There is no week a worker is not sacked or left on his/her own. The MD was even boasting that he has sacked his daughter before, so no one is indispensable.

When I resumed, I attended to all the outstanding Admin work and whenever I report to the MD, he will be complaining that I am too lenient with "these people". He will be saying that is why he does not want to employ a woman. He wants me to be leing and be telling people come today, come tomorrow. When you bring the issue of drivers and logistics staff to him, it has always been war. He was just not nice to his workers.

Yesterday, I was sent an email that they have observed that company driver has been taking me to places for me to accomplish my task and that I could not cope with the nature of their job. Because of this, I should hand over the company property in my possession to one staff member.

I am yet to be paid, but I am sure they will pay me that. But, if I should give then 2 months salary in lieu, what is good for the geese should be good for the gander. Imagine resigning in one company only to be sacked 3 weeks after resumption. Imagine. I have the intention of taking him to the court or the industrial court. I want an honest advice or recommendation.

Thank you.
