The legendary Czech played 486 games for the Blues in all competitions winning four Premier League medals, four FA Cup medals, three League Cup medals and one UEFA Champions League medal.

During the 2004–05 season, Čech went 1,025 minutes without conceding a goal – a Premier League record, until it was surpassed by Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United . He won the Golden Glove three times; in the 2004–05 , 2009–10 and 2013–14 as the Premier League goalkeeper with the most clean sheets. Čech kept a club record 220 clean sheets for Chelsea in all competitions.
