Where is Jerzy Dudek now?
Former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek hung up his gloves in 2011 after a spell at Real Madrid where he was a back-up keeper to Iker Casillas.
Playing for 20 years, he made over 400 first-team appearances for five teams and won a number of trophies including the Eredivisie with Feyenoord, the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Champions League with Liverpool and the La Liga title with Real Madrid.
He also represented the Polish national side on 60 occasions and was their first-choice keeper in the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals.
Upon retiring from playing Dudek started a new career as a racing car driver and competed in the 2014 Volkswagen Castrol Cup, more than holding his own against more experienced drivers.
He also released his autobiography The Big Pole in Your Goal in 2015 which contained many revelations from his playing career including the time when Jose Mourinho accused the Real Madrid players of speaking to the press about team selection.
He currently works as a UEFA ambassador travelling around Europe promoting the Champions League and the European Championships.
