Premier League stars Petr Cech and Gareth Barry honoured in 2017 Guinness Book of World Records... but why do Leicester City make the cut?

Premier League stalwarts Petr Cech and Gareth Barry are among the stars of the sporting world honoured in the new edition of the Guinness World Records book.

Arsenal goalkeeper Cech takes his place among the weird and wonderful records in the newest edition of the legendary publication thanks to his 181 Premier League clean sheets - the most of any goalkeeper.

Barry, meanwhile, has started the most Premier League games of any player - an incredible 580 to date - during his time at Aston Villa, Manchester City and Everton.
