Career
Club career
Řepka began his career with Baník Ostrava, where he played from 1990 to 1995. He then joined Sparta prague, where he spent almost three years, before moving to Italian Serie A club Fiorentina. He joined Premier League club West Ham United early in Glenn Roeder's tenure as manager, for a then club record fee of £5.5 million in September 2001.[1]
Řepka was sent off on his West Ham debut for two bookable offences,[2] missed a match through suspension, and was sent off again in the third match he played for the club.[3] He went on to form a central defensive partnership with Christian Dailly before the club's relegation to the second-tier Championship, although he gained a reputation for his disciplinary record, and received ten yellow cards that first season.
After relegation at the end of the 2002–03 season, the appointment of Alan Pardew as manager saw Řepka move to right-back. In the summer of 2005, after the club had regained their Premier League status, he was re-signed by Pardew on a two-year contract, albeit on reduced terms, but left the club on 23 January 2006 to return to the Czech Republic to be with his family. He played his final match for West Ham on the previous night against Fulham in what was an emotional swansong for the Czech hardman; to chants of "Super Tom" from the West Ham faithful, he left the field in tears.[4]
In 2006, Řepka returned to Sparta Prague. In 2009, he won the Personality of the League award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards.[5]
In December 2011, Řepka left Sparta Prague following a mutually agreed early termination of his contract.[6]
After the termination of his contract with Sparta Prague, he signed with Dynamo České Budějovice, becoming a stable member of the first team and helped his team to avoid relegation in the 2011–12 season. However, his contract was terminated by his team in November 2012. After negotiations with 1. FK Příbram had broken down, he accepted a non-player role with Baník Most.[7] After three months, Řepka quit his manager role due to disagreements with new club leaders.[8]
International career
After making his international debut for Czechoslovakia in June 1993 against the Faroe Islands, Řepka played 45 times for the Czech Republic between 1994 and 2001. He missed UEFA Euro 1996 due to a two-match suspension for a red card.[9] However, he played for his country at Euro 2000, where the Czech Republic was eliminated in the group stage.
