Football goalie Petr Čech makes rock debut

Czech international and Chelsea FC goalkeeper Petr Čech made his rock band debut in Prague’s Rock Café on Saturday night when he appeared on drums with the Czech band Eddie Stoilow. The 26-year-old athlete performed three songs with the band in front of hundreds of fans. After the concert, Petr Čech said his dream had come true; members of the band said the idea originated from their long friendship with the goalie. The concert took place during in between two games crucial for the national side’s bid for next year’s European championship. On Friday, the Czechs lost 2:0 to Spain and need at least a tie against Lithuania on Tuesday to keep their hope alive of advancing to the EURO 2012.
