08-09 Chelsea Goalkeeper Home Shirt

Attention all budding goal keepers out there. Developers of footballs these days certainly do not make your job any easier easy as the balls continue to rise and dip towards you at blisteringly impossible speeds. You need everything you can get your hands on to keep a clean sheet and believe it or not this shirt may just be able to help you do that, if you believe the research of sports science that is.

The secret lies in the bright orange colour which scientists claim makes the goal keeper appear bigger to those shooting into him due to the eye catching orange colour seemingly expanding more than any other. A quick look at Czech Republic shot stopper Petr Cech and the thought of him getting even bigger could leave a few top strikers suffering from sleepless nights or at the very least investing in a good pair of sunglasses. The goal keeper himself has even suggested that the shirt is capable of distracting opposition players due to its bright orange colour.

The Chelsea goalkeeper has established himself, beyond doubt, as one of the world’s finest all round goal keepers. This was shown when he picked up the award for best goal keeper in the UEFA Champions league last season, where Chelsea came up short on penalty kicks. Cech’s heroics in saving a spot kick from Ronaldo, the player who would later be named European footballer of the year and his form throughout the competition proved that he is one of the best.

Why not add his name and coveted number 1 to the back of the jersey or be a bit more adventurous and add your own. The matching shorts and socks to complete the monstrous goal keeper look are also available from UK Soccershop.
