Farewell to a Football Legend: Oleksandr Radchenko
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Oleksandr Radchenko, the talented left defender who played for both Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team. Alexander was just 46 years old at the time of his death and the causes are yet to be disclosed.
Alexander was a local hero in his hometown of Mariupol, where he first honed his skills as a football player in the Azovets team. His talent did not go unnoticed, and in 1997, he was scouted by Dynamo Kyiv, where he began his professional football journey.
In his debut season, Alexander made numerous appearances for the main Dynamo team, but as the years went by, he saw less action on the field and played mostly for the club's second team.
Despite this, he still managed to play 45 matches for Kiev, showcasing his tenacity and commitment.
In 2001, Alexander took a loan spell at Uzhhorod Trans
