Playing career

In his native country Stejskal played for Sparta Prague, where he equalled the league record of 19 clean sheets in a season, in the 1986–87 season. [2]

He 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. Stejskal was a very tall commanding goalkeeper with a sound trade, but his language problem let him down from time to time.

After returning to the Czech Republic, Stejskal played for Slavia Prague and Viktoria Žižkov before retiring in 1999.

Coaching career

After ending his playing career, Stejskal worked as a goalkeeping coach for both Sparta Prague and the Czech Republic national football team. In December 2011, he left Sparta, where he was replaced in his role by former national team goalkeeper Pavel Srníček. [3]

Stejskal was the goalkeeping coach for the Czech Republic at UEFA Euro 2012. [4] Stejskal joined FK Jablonec as a goalkeeping coach in the summer of 2012. [4]

Stejskal is also a qualified mechanic, a trade learned whilst serving on national duty for the former Czechoslovakia.
