Cech can reflect on a haul of 14 trophies from his time in England when he hangs up his gloves.

Petr Cech has decided to finish his career at Arsenal, after announcing his decision to retire at the end of the season.

The 36-year-old has made 443 Premier League appearances for Arsenal and Chelsea, since moving to the English top-flight in 2004 and has won 14 trophies during his time in England.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at some of the best moments in his career.
