Jerzy Dudek began his playing career with Sokol Tychy in 1995 but, after just a handful of senior games, he was signed up by Feyenoord.
He quickly became the first-choice keeper after Ed de Goey moved to Premiership side Chelsea and was an ever-present in the team that won the League title in 1998-99.
He made his international debut for Poland against Israel in February 1998 and became a regular in the squad, featuring in all ten of their 2002 World Cup qualifying games.
His performances at Feyenoord soon attracted wider attention and, in August 2001, he moved on to Liverpool where he quickly established himself in the team ahead of Sander Westerveld.
Jerzy is blessed with a combination of great bravery, brilliant concentration and reflexes making him one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
He will always be remembered for his dancing in the penalty shoot-out as Liverpool won the Champions League against AC Milan in 2005.
