David Seaman: 'Fantastic' Petr Cech Retiring 'A Little Bit Early'

Arsenal legend David Seaman is surprised Petr Cech is retiring at the end of the season, saying it's "a bit early" for the 36-year-old but the Czech goalkeeper knows what's best for him.

Seaman praised the "fantastic" veteran shot-stopper in an interview with Sky Sports (h/t Goal's Nick Howson), but he also said he believes Cech has more left in the tank:

"Honestly, I was surprised, he's only 36. I thought it was a little early, but when you are a goalkeeper, you know when it is time to retire.
