Radek Černý is a Czech former footballer who played as a goalkeeper, best known for his impressive career with Slavia Prague in the Czech First League and his stint in England with Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers.
Born on February 18, 1974, in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Černý turned professional in 1993 as a 17-year-old with Slavia Prague, his hometown club. His father was a goalkeeper, who started out as a youth at Slavia before playing in the Czech third and fourth divisions, while his older brother Petr was another goalkeeper playing for the club.
Černý did not get a chance to play for Slavia in the early years of his career, having been loaned out to three different Czech clubs. He finally made his debut for the club in 1997 and went on to make more than 150 appearances for Slavia, many of them in European competition. During his time with Slavia, he won two domestic cups and scored one goal.
Černý enjoyed a brief international career, making three appearances for the Czech Republic between 2000 and 2002.
In January 2005, Černý joined Tottenham Hotspur on an 18-month loan, which was later extended until the end of 2008. He replaced Kasey Keller, who had signed for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Černý played for Spurs until 2013, when he returned to Slavia Prague for one season before retiring.
During his time in England, Černý also played for Queens Park Rangers.
Černý's impressive career with Slavia Prague and his experience in England have made him a Czech football legend. He has inspired a generation of goalkeepers and is remembered for his skills and dedication to the sport.
Černý's family has a strong football background. His father was a goalkeeper, and his older brother Petr was also a goalkeeper who played for Slavia Prague.
