Ceh was one of the first players to sign up to play for Slovenia after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

A hard-working and strong midfielder who holds the ball up well, Ceh developed his trade with Slovan before moving to Olimpija Ljubljana.

His work-rate and skills were recognised by Sturm Graz and his move to Austria and his all-action style has earned him the nickname 'Seedorf' after the Dutch midfielder star.

Is deployed in an anchor role holding the midfield, which allows some of the more attacking players, such as Zlatko Zahovic, to press forward.

Made his debut against Croatia in June 1991 and has been a regular fixture in the side since 1992.

Missed one qualifying game for Euro 2000 through suspension but played for the full duration in every other game.
