My Take
For football fans of my generation, Andrei Kanchelskis is unforgettable as the blistering right winger who tore down Manchester United's flank. Born in Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine, he packed explosive speed and a thunderous shot into a 178 cm frame. His Soviet International Master of Sport title hints at the rigorous Eastern European schooling that forged him. After United he kept dazzling at Everton and Rangers before moving into coaching. Born in 1969, an Aquarius, that independent streak seemed to show up in his fearless dribbling. A player who raced across borders through turbulent times, he has nothing but my respect.
