Andrii Nesmachnyi, a Dynamo defender in the late 90s and 2000s, turns 45 today. On behalf of the club, Dynamo president Ihor Surkis congratulated the hero of the day.
"Dear Andrii Mykolaiovych!
Please accept the most sincere congratulations and best wishes from Dynamo football club and me personally on the occasion of your anniversary!
When you came on the pitch, the fans could always be calm about the left flank of the defence, where you, thanks to your skill, created significant problems for all opponents, even the most famous ones. It is not for nothing that you are rightly considered one of the strongest left-backs in Ukrainian football over the years.
Your professionalism, dedication, hard work and perseverance have made you a stalwart of the Dynamo and Ukrainian national teams. As a member of Dynamo, you won many trophies, became a multiple champion of Ukraine and a Cup and Super Cup winner. You represented Kyiv and Ukraine with dignity in the international arena - the performance of the Ukrainian national team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany with your participation will always remain in the memory of football fans.
On your birthday, I wish you good health, happiness, harmony, success and victories in all spheres of life! And most importantly - Ukraine's victory in the war against the Russian occupiers, which we are all waiting for!
President of FC Dynamo
Ihor Surkis
