The Czech giant started his career at Banik Ostrava, where a mere 30 appearances were enough to tempt Newcastle to take a punt. He spent 7 years at Newcastle, during his time there he was the only Goalkeeper to receive a 10/10 rating by The Sun for a match, with a mesmerising performance against Liverpool.
He left Newcastle in 1998 and returned to Ostrava, but it wasn't long before he was tempted back to the English game by Sheffield Wednesday, where he played almost 50 times. After Wednesday he jumped ship quite a bit, with spells at Brescia, AS Cosenza, Portsmouth, West Ham and Beira-Mar before making an emotional return to Newcastle as cover for an injured Shay Given (the man who once stripped him of the Newcastle keepers jersey).
Srnicek made 49 international appearances in his career, he now runs the Srnicek school of Goalkeeping in his native Czech republic, he also works closely with a lot of charities. He also has beautiful, thick hair.
Pavel Srnicek, we salute you!
