Pavel Nedvěd (born 30 August 1972) is a Czech former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Czech players of all time. Nedvěd won numerous trophies with Italian clubs Lazio and Juventus, including the last ever Cup Winners’ Cup with Lazio. He also led Juventus to the 2003 UEFA Champions League final. Nedvěd was a vital player in the Czech team that reached the final of Euro 1996, after which he attracted the attention of big European clubs.
He also captained the team at UEFA Euro 2004, where they were defeated in the semi-final by eventual champions Greece, and where Nedvěd was named in the Team of the Tournament. He helped his team qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup for the first time since the breakup of Czechoslovakia. Due to his quick and energetic runs during matches, Nedvěd was nicknamed “Furia Ceca” (lit. ‘Czech Fury’) by Italian football fans. His nickname in Czech is Méďa (lit. ‘Little Bear’), stemming from the similarity between his surname and the Czech word for bear, medvěd. Nedvěd won the Ballon d’Or in 2003, becoming the second Czech player to win the award after Josef Masopust, and the first since the breakup of Czechoslovakia.
