Let’s help Yuri Martynov!
The other day it became known that a Russian rocket flew into the house of the former striker of the Ukrainian national team, 57-year-old Martynov, in Kherson, rendering it uninhabitable.
At that time he was at home with his family, and only by a miracle did everyone survive.
Martynov is a football graduate of Kherson. At one point, he made noise as the only player in the First League to play a match in qualifying for Euro 96 for the Ukrainian national team.
It happened on March 25, 1995 in a match with the Croatian national team (0:4). The game remains the only one for him in the blue-yellow squad. Then he played for Zirka.
During his career, Martynov played for the following clubs:
- Crystals;
- SKA (Odessa);
- Petroleum;
- Reclamation;
- Worth (Poznań);
- Sirius (Yellow Waters);
- Zirka;
- Nikolaev.
As a coach, he led Kristall for two years, after which he coached children at Youth Sports School No. 5 for many years.
It is annoying, but Ukrainian football veterans had to ask for help, because there is nothing not only to rebuild housing, but also to rent some corners, buy the most necessary things, hire a lawyer to deal with all matters in the legal way .
