Chelsea legend Petr Cech has come out of retirement to play as a goalkeeper for a professional ice hockey team.

The Czech veteran will line up in goals for local team Guildford Phoenix.

The team are located close to Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, where Cech works as a technical director and performance advisor.

"I am delighted to have the opportunity to play with the Phoenix to get the match experience," Cech told the club's official website.

"I hope I can help this young team to achieve their goals for the season and try to win as many games as possible when I have the chance to play.

"After 20 years of professional football this is going to be a wonderful experience for me to play the game I loved to watch and play as a kid."
