Petr Cech is certainly one of those characters, whom most people will think twice before hating. The Arsenal FC goalkeeper etched his name in the Hall of Fame on Sunday after getting his 169th Premier League clean sheet, against Aston Villa.
He equaled the record that was till that point, being held by former England keeper David James.

Even his wife joined in on the celebration, as he posted on his Twitter handle.

However, the big Arsenal FC keeper, who had made his move to the North London club, earlier this year from Chelsea FC, seemed to be a bit too delirious about his new record. In fact, Cech fished out an old graphic that some Chelsea FC fan made of him.
This graphic showed how Cech slowly started turning into the Darth Vader, after he started wearing a scrum helmet to the matches since suffering a severe head injury.
