Roman Bednář

Czech Republic

Born in Prague, Bednář started his career as a youth player at ČAFC Prague before he stepped up to Czech First League side FC Bohemians Praha in 1998. In 2002, after failing to break into the first team at Bohemians, he moved to Czech Second Division side FK Mladá Boleslav. Bednář finished the 2003–04 season as top scorer with 10 goals as Mladá Boleslav won the Second Division title.

Heart of Midlothian

On 27 July 2005, Hearts announced that they had completed the signing of Bednář on a one-year loan deal from FBK Kaunas. He scored on his debut against Kilmarnock, and also in the 3–0 away victory over Dundee United. Bednář then cemented his place in Hearts folklore by scoring the only goal in the 1–0 victory over Rangers at Tynecastle. It was in this game, however, that he suffered a serious knee injury that ruled him out for most of the campaign. He made his return on 26 November against Motherwell in a 1–1 draw, and played his part in Hearts' successful second-place finish and Scottish Cup victory. Bednář started the 2006–07 Scottish Premier League season in a rich vein of form, scoring three times, twice in the 2–1 victory over Celtic at Tynecastle. Bednář joined Hearts on a permanent deal on 31 August 2006, but exactly a year later he moved to West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan deal, which later turned into a permanent move.
