Former Arsenal and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech made his competitive ice hockey debut on Sunday, helping the Guildford Phoenix win on a penalty shootout save.
The 37-year-old is a big fan of the sport and said he it was a dream to actually play in a game after his retirement from football last year. He signed last week with Guildford, who play National Ice Hockey League South 2.
"It is kind of a childhood dream to come and play one game, which has [now] happened," said Cech, whose penalty save as netminder beat Swindon Wildcats 2 and helped maintain Phoenix's perfect start.
