#9 Petr Cech
Fewest appearances required to reach 100 clean sheets. Check. Most number of clean sheets in the history of his team. Check. First goalie to go a 1000 minutes without conceding in the Premier League. Check. The greatest goalkeeper to still be a part of the Premier league. Petr Cech.
Winner of the Golden Glove Award in the 2004-05 and 2009-10 seasons, Petr Cech has broken a host of goalkeeping record for the Blues. Starting out as understudy to Carlo Cudicini, he soon made the place between the sticks his own, with some commanding performances. In fact, he conceded just 15 goals in the 2004-05 season, setting yet another record.
But what is more telling than all the records he has amassed is the way he got back up from that one big fall at the Madjeski Stadium in 2006. Knocked unconscious by a serious knee to the head, Cech returned to top-flight football in 3 months, showing his tenacity and inner strength. He didn’t merely return. He returned better than ever before, becoming the most reliable keeper on the planet, along with Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon. His time finally seems to be up though, with the long-awaited arrival of the prodigious Thibaut Courtouis.
