Extra Time: Cech takes to the drums to cover Nirvana song


GOAL EXTRA TIME
In between victories over Kazakhstan and Latvia that sealed the Czech Republic's place at Euro 2016, Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech found time to unwind through one of his off-field passions: drumming.

Nirvana's 'In Bloom' is the latest cover the 33-year-old has uploaded to his YouTube channel, with past efforts including Rihanna's 'Cheers' and 'Learn to Fly' by Foo Fighters.

Cech has had a go at a few Foo Fighters songs, in fact, and now attempts to emulate their leading man, Dave Grohl, who was previously Nirvana's drummer.

With catchy opening line "Sell the kids for food" it's perhaps not a natural choice to celebrate his nation's qualification to a major tournament, but Cech plays his part well.
