AC Milan defender Marek Jankulovski was named Czech Footballer of the Year for the first time on Wednesday. The 31-year-old won the Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup with his Italian side last year and was a pillar of the Czech national team in their successful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Jankulovski, who is the first defender to win the award in 17 years, beat Chelsea’s goalkeeper Petr Čech, who won the award in 2005. Arsenal midfielder Tomáš Rosický was third.
