Jaroslav Drobný (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jaroslav Drobný (born October 18, 1979 in Počátky, Czech Republic) is a Czech football goalkeeper. He currently plays for Ipswich Town.
Drobny's first club was a team of SK České Budějovice in his homeland. He played here from when he turned professional in 1999 to 2002, when he soon moved onto bigger things, at Panionios in the Alpha Ethniki, the Premier Division of Greek football. In 2005, he was spotted by Fulham, and in the summer, having sold Edwin van der Sar, he was bought by the West London club. However, Drobny was injured shortly after his arrival, and upon returning to fitness failed to get into the team. His contract was terminated by mutual consent in August 2006, without Drobny having played a first-team game for the club.
He has played 18 times for the Czech national team's Under-21 side, but his opportunities have been limited in the full squad, due to the presence of Petr Čech, the highly rated goalkeeper who plays for Chelsea, Fulham's rivals.
On October 27, 2006 he joined Ipsich Town after being released by Fulham in August 2006.
