While appearing on Monday Night Football, Cech named three legendary goalkeepers he believes are the greatest of all time.

In a video shared on X by Sky Sports Premier League, the 41-year-old named Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon, Bayern icon Manuel Neuer, and Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel as the GOAT keepers.

"Definitely I put Gigi Buffon up there. Definitely Neuer will be in there," he said.

"It's always difficult to leave so many great ones out, but Peter Schmeichel will be my choice there as well," he added.

According to GiveMeSports, Buffon had a nearly three-decade career, making a total of 1151 appearances for club and country.

The Italian legend smashed the record for the most expensive goalkeeper when Juventus splashed close to £50m to sign him in 2001.
