Please accept my sincere congratulations on your 65th birthday from me personally and from all Dynamo Kyiv players!
For me, as well as for millions of Dynamo fans, you will always be a part of that unique team of Valeriy Lobanovsky in the eighties, which was called the "golden" team for a reason, with which you twice became the USSR champion, once won the National Cup, and also won the European trophy - the Cup Winners' Cup.
Together with the partners of that legendary Dynamo team, you took football to a new level, and the whole world admired the team's play, with fans saying that the team was not playing a modern game, but football of the next century.
As a coach, you have been passing on not only your experience and skills, but also high moral values to Dynamo goalkeepers for over 30 years. Your sincerity, humanity, intelligence, modesty and indifference are an example for many of your students, who also adopt your professional, demanding attitude to football, which helps them become true masters. So I can be sure that the fate of Dynamo's last line of defense is in good hands.
On this day, I sincerely wish you health, happiness, harmony, prosperity and inspiration. I wish you new victories and achievements for Dynamo both in the domestic and international arenas. And most importantly, I wish you a peaceful, calm and secure life in a free, independent Ukraine.
Yours sincerely
President of FC Dynamo Kyiv
Ihor Surkis
