Former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech, regarded as one of the best number ones of the Premier League era, has named his top three goalkeepers of all time. In an interview with Jamie Carragher for Sky Sports, Cech revealed his choices. His first pick was Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006 and recently retired at the age of 45. Cech also included German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014 and is considered a game-changer for his position. Lastly, Cech chose Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, a Premier League legend and a key figure in Manchester United's success in the 1990s. When asked if the three were picked in the correct order, Cech confirmed that they were. Cech's career spanned over 630 Premier League games, and he holds the record for most clean sheets in a single Premier League season. Since retiring from football, Cech has pursued a career in ice hockey as a goalkeeper.
