Not every player can move from The Bridge to Arsenal & still be respected by Chelsea fans, but Petr is a different breed of class.

Petr Cech winning a Golden Glove at arsenal despite our shambolic defence says so much about his goalkeeping abilities. One of the greatest goalkeepers of all-time. A true professional on the pitch and a role model off it. What a legend! Thank you Petr for the amazing years.#COYG pic.twitter.com/WiLmGwy14H
