Playing career

Stejskal played in the Czechoslovak First League for RH Cheb in the 1982–83 season, [2] before moving to Sparta Prague, where he equalled the league record of 19 clean sheets in the 1986–87 season. [3] During his time with Sparta the club won the Czechoslovak League title back to back in 1983–84 and 1984–85, before securing three in a row (1986–87, 1987–88 and 1988–89). In the same period he was part of the winning team for the Czechoslovak Cup (in 1983–84, 1987–88 and 1988–89). [2]

Stejskal later moved to England, where he had a successful spell at Queens Park Rangers from 1990 to 1994. He was one of only 13 foreign players to play on the opening weekend of the FA Premier League along with Peter Schmeichel, Andrei Kanchelskis, Robert Warzycha, Roland Nilsson, Eric Cantona, Hans Segers, John Faxe Jensen, Anders Limpar, Gunnar Halle, Craig Forrest, Michel Vonk and Ronnie Rosenthal. [4] After returning to the Czech Republic, Stejskal played for Slavia Prague, where he won the Czech First League in the 1995–96 season, as well as the Czech Cup in 1996–97, and Viktoria Žižkov, where he played four games before sustaining an ankle injury. [2] [5] He retired in 1999 at the age of 37. [6]

At international level, Stejskal made 31 appearances for his country and played at the 1990 FIFA World Cup. [5] Following the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, he played twice for the newly-formed Czech Republic national football team in 1994. [7]
