The veteran goalkeeper was this weekawarded withthe Guinness World Record for the most Premier League clean-sheets of any goalkeeper to grace the English top-flight, 181 from373 total starts in the Premier League.

It was while accepting this honour that he revealed in a interview withGuinness World Recordshis save thatthe 34-year-oldis "most proud" of.


The Czech Republic keeper said: "Obviously if you face a penalty in the Champions League final, in extra time, you know if you concede then it's all over"

Despite his popularity at Arsenal, the 6ft 5giant couldn't over look his glorydays with Chelsea when it came to picking his personal favourite save over his long career.


"You know your dream to win the Champions League is all gone, I have to take this penalty save.


"It's one of those saves you will always remember."
