Dear Alexander Nikolaevich!
On this special day, please accept the most sincere congratulations on the occasion of your birthday from me personally and from the entire Dynamo family!
You devoted your life to football, having spent bright years in Dynamo Kyiv. With your direct participation, Dynamo twice became silver medalists of the USSR championship, and in 1975 you made a significant contribution to the team winning the UEFA Super Cup.
You also entered the history of Dynamo Kyiv as a breeder, and later as a children's coach, raising new generations of talented football players under the Kyiv Football Federation.
On this festive day, let me wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, family comfort. May all your dreams come true and may success accompany you in all your endeavors. And most importantly, a peaceful sky in Ukraine and a return to normal life.
Sincerely,
President of FC Dynamo Kyiv
Igor Surkis
Congratulations to the hero of the day were also sent by the UEFA Honorary Member Grigory Surkis.
Dear Alexander Nikolaevich!
On the day of your anniversary, I join all the sincere wishes to the master of the leather ball, whose name is inscribed in gold in the history of our football and, in particular, Dynamo Kyiv.
You were lucky enough to play in white and blue colors at the turn of the eras of the club's biography - when, under the leadership of Valery Lobanovsky and Oleg Bazilevich, Dynamo conquered the tournament peaks and the hearts of millions of fans around the world one after another.
In that unique ensemble of all-rounders, you were one of your own, sharing the joy of high-profile victories with partners and mentors, winning the championship in 1975 - the most successful Dynamo season and signing for the European Super Cup.
Having remained in football after the end of your active career, you, already in the role of a breeder, continued to benefit your native team - you passed on rich experience to young Dynamo players, shared science with future stars.
I wish you, dear hero of the day, good health, happiness and good luck, prosperity and harmony. May the sky above you, your relatives and all of Ukraine soon become clear and peaceful!
Sincerely yours, Grigory Surkis
