He may have announced his retirement but there is good reason why Petr Cech won't be forgotten anytime soon
When Jose Mourinho gave Petr Cech his debut in Chelsea's 2004-2005 season, not many would have predicted that he would go on to make 494 appearances for the club-ranking him sixth in Chelsea's all-time record for most appearances.
And although Cech might have swapped Chelsea for Arsenal, it will be no doubt that fans of the Blues will be feeling the full effects of the goalkeeper's departure from the beautiful game after he announced his retirement. And why won't they be; after all this was a player who became a pillar in setting Chelsea on the path of being a powerhouse club both domestically and on the European front after the club became nouveau riche following its acquisition by Roman Abramovich.
