Chelsea star wins top award

Chelsea's Petr Cech has been named Uefa's Club Goalkeeper of the Year. The Czech shot-stopper received the award at the draw for the UEFA Champions League after seeing off competition from the likes of Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Cech's award marks a considerable return to fortune after he recovered from a career threatening head injury earlier in the season to help Chelsea reach the semi-final of the Champions League. Milan trio Paolo Maldini, Clarence Seedorf and Kaka collected the defensive, midfield and forward accolades after helping the Italian outfit lift the trophy in Athens. Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney all received nominations for their respective categories.
