Ever wonder why Peter Cech is still wearing that black, puffy helmet?

It was this collision with Reading’s Stephen Hunt that put Chelsea keeper Peter Cech in the hospital where he underwent  emergency brain surgery.

This X-Ray is the first look at the devastation that occurred.  Between the shattered pieces of bone, metal plates inserted and memory loss, it’s amazing that the 26 year old Czech International is even on the field.

And don’t forget about his collision earlier this year with teammate Tal Ben Haim that required 50 stitches to his face.

Poor guy can barely catch a break.  Whoops!
