Peter Cech's headgear

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I only noticed in the Villa-Chelsea game that Adidas have sponsored Cech's head gear. I have to say, I was amused so I stuck a search into Google and got this back, you couldn't script it

Petr Cech fractured his skull with an almost career-ending head injury, suffered back in October. In the Premiership game against Reading, he slid to reach a ball, the knee of Reading midfielder Stephen Huntand struck Cech on the head, resulting in the head fracture.

 

Cech now has a metal plate in his head and is still taking medication. He now wears protective headgear to reduce the chance of further damage.

 

Cech reached a “gentlemen’s agreement” with Canterbury of New Zealand, who makes the protective headgear, to keep the logo as Cech wanted to demonstrate his thanks for the prompt help that Canterbury offered him when he returned to football.

 

The Czech national team’s kit sponsor, Puma, now want the logo covered in future games. Although Puma allowed Cech to wear the headguard in the International game against Belgium, they are now trying to force Cech to wear their own branded headgear in the future.

 

Cech has been wearing the headgear when playing for Chelsea, and Adidas, Chelsea’s kit sponsors have expressed similar concerns to those of Puma.

 

Puma and Adidas are now trying to negotiate a compromise with Cech.

I'm currently trying to win the sponsorship rights to his face.

Because loads of budding goalkeepers are going to watch that and think: how cool would I look in that? I simply must have a Puma helm.

He's a fecking "drama queen". If someone was going to kick him in the head I doubt very much that would help him. I am surprised he doesn't play in a motorcycle helmet.
