Dear Oleksandr Mykolayovych!
Allow me to express to you, on behalf of FC 'Dynamo' (Kyiv) and personally from myself, the sincerest congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of your birthday.
You left a bright mark in the history of Kyiv 'Dynamo' as a player, and later as a coach. You were the undisputed leader of Ukrainian football during the times when the legendary Valeriy Lobanovskyi managed the team. Under your direct involvement, 'Dynamo' achieved significant success in European competitions, initially reaching the quarter-finals, and later the semi-finals of the Champions League.
You conquered the hearts of millions of fans who admired your exquisite and spectacular play on the field. Thanks to your outstanding professional and personal qualities, you were an indispensable player in that star-studded team, which was unimaginable without you.
Choosing a coaching path after completing your playing career, you became a model and an example for young generations of footballers, as you always set the highest goals for yourself and knew how to achieve them.
On this significant day, I wish you strong health, family happiness, home comfort, harmony, and well-being. May luck accompany you in all your endeavors, and may inexhaustible energy and life optimism add strength and inspiration.
With respect,
President of FC 'Dynamo' (Kyiv) Ihor Surkis
