Today, the famous former footballer of Dynamo and the USSR national team Pavlo Yakovenko turns 60. The president of FC Dynamo (Kyiv) Ihor Surkis congratulated the ex-Dynamo player on his anniversary.
Dear Pavlo Oleksandrovych!
Allow me, personally and on behalf of all the numerous army of Dynamo fans, to congratulate you on this milestone birthday.
For many years, you brought glory to Kyiv Dynamo, where you became a multiple champion and holder of the USSR Cup, and also contributed to the international success of the "white-blues," winning the Cup Winners' Cup in 1986 under the management of Valerii Lobanovskyi.
Through your play and dedication to football, you earned the respect of partners and opponents on the field, as well as the wholehearted love of fans who enjoyed your actions on the football field. The principles you've adhered to throughout your playing career have been preserved even after transitioning to coaching, where you pass on your knowledge and experience to your mentees.
On this festive day, I wish you, dear celebrant, good health, family warmth, the realization of all your plans, and, of course, a peaceful sky above and a swift end to the war.
Respectfully,
president of FC Dynamo (Kyiv) Ihor Surkis
