PRAGUE, July 30 -- Former Juventus winger Pavel Nedved won the Golden Ball trophy for the best Czech footballer in 2008-2009 awarded by Czech journalists, the organizers said Thursday.

The 36-year-old beat Chelsea keeper Petr Cech and Galatasaray striker Milan Baros to win the trophy.

Cech took the trophy four times in a row before last season. Nedved, the France Football Golden Ball winner from 2003, has won the Czech trophy six times.
