Streltsov Eduard Anatolyevich Biography

Eduard Streltsov - biography, historical photos History in photographs. The large football path of Streltsov began very early-at the age of 16 he made his debut in Torpedo, and in 17 in the first two games for the USSR national team he designed a hat-trick. At the summer, Sagittarius became the best scorer of national championship. And in M, the national team of the Soviet Union, together with the young striker, Torpedo won the Olympic Games in Melbourne.

The World Cup in Sweden was supposed to become the star hour of Eduard Streltsov, but just a few weeks before the start of the mundial, the striker was arrested on charges of rape Marina Lebedeva. With her and her girlfriend Sagittarius in the company of friends Boris Tatushin and Mikhail Ognokov, both of Spartak went to rest on the cottage to the pilot Eduard Karakhanov.

According to the testimony of the injured Lebedeva, it was there that Streltsov committed a crime for which he was subsequently convicted of 12 years, although later the term was changed to 7 years in prison in the camps. So the young summer talented striker got into the colony, where he spent the next five years - in the year Streltsov was released by parole.

Nevertheless, Eduard was allowed to return only to the year, and Streltsov returned to Torpedo, where he later won the championship and the USSR Cup to his career legendary striker in the year, after which he worked as a children's coach in his native Torpedo. In the year, Eduard Streltsov died of lung cancer. I can only remember a woman, because in football I don’t understand so much - I know which way to run and where to score.

I met Edik and future spouse Valya before they became masters of sports in football - so long ago. The guys were young and damn pretty! Our journey from the Olympics in Melbourne was long and unforgettable. Twenty days on the ship and ten days by train, all together in a large young company - such a chic time to meet young people, you can’t even imagine in ordinary life!

And then there is still beauty: a ship, stars, everyone gets acquainted, fall in love. I was warned against the players, they said that these were troubled guys. But I saw Valya and Edik - such simple, modest guys! So I fell in love with football, in which Sagittarius and Ivanov were salted. Photo: From the archive of Mikhail Gershkovich - this was a very decent person, ”the Mikhail Gershkovich, many years of Torpedo, shares memories of the Torpedo, and friend of Streltsov.

Streltsov and I studied at the Institute of Physical Education in absentia for five years. Combined the game and study. It was a gift of fate - to have such a partner and friend. We were friends with him until his death. I think he would be an adornment of that non -bonding of the USSR national team and would very much help her. I put Streltsov on a par with the pele by talent.

There was an attitude towards them, I would say, even trouble -free. He did not like to refuse people in a variety of requests - he correctly realized his significance for the people. As for the natural talent of Streltsov - he was enough so that the missing for seven years did not prevent Edward from returning to football. We talked well with Streltsov. They even lived in the same room for some time.

In communication, he was a simple man, despite the fact that he was older. As I remember now, in the morning, when we woke up, Streltsov suggested that I first go to put myself in order, shave to wash. And if I did not shave, he said: “Why didn’t it shave, Tolya? The game is a holiday! Photo: From the personal archive of Valentina Ivanova - Edik was a damn nice guy, - recalls Lidia Gavrilovna.

And the girls, these contagions, the dumbbells to him, as they wanted ... Of course, this whole situation with the prison turned out to be fateful. Edik broke his career through his knee. It is very painful that such a misfortune occurred with Streltsov, and it was at that moment when he was on an amazing upsurge. And then Valya lost his partner before the world championship.

After all, football experts say that if Edik went to Sweden, then there would be a question, who is stronger - Pele or Sagittarius. How he stumbled ... He had a brilliant girl Allochka. We all met, friends. Why did Misha Logokov and Borya Tatushin appear here? They are from Spartak! Usually the guys hang out in their teams, and for some reason, it was precisely these two guys who invited Streltsov to the cottage, they called some girls.

In general, this is a disaster. He did not like to talk about this topic, took it for granted, as his fate. He did not put forward any fabulous versions.

We want everything to be revised. Several investigations of independent lawyers familiarized with protocols, documents say that Edik did not do this! There is generally a different surname. I can’t call her, I forgot. And Edik, if he drank heavily, was cut off tightly! At least TR ... th! In the preliminary interrogation of that girl it was written that it was not Sagittarius who did this.

Then it was her mother forced her to write differently, they say, the football player has a lot of money, the Volga car.And Edik was a simple guy, I didn’t know the prices ... - When Streltsov returned from prison, I already played for the “Torpedo” and was a member of the USSR football team, ”Kawazashvili recalls. And when the team of his workshop was playing, and it was on the garnish field, there was nowhere to stand on the stands, not to sit.

And the men yelled from the stands: “Edik, I was sitting with you there! What Edward did on the field without physical exertion, just taking two or three steps was a miracle. As if from everyone. That strong handsome guy seemed to curl up or something. It was a master on the Sagittarius Field and owned his science so well that he looked harmonious and beautiful.

And outside the field it was a shy person. May of the year. A tour of the torpedo football players in Leningrad before the match with Zenit. Not only Sagittarius participated, we were all attracted to work and to the subbotniks - both me and Valka Ivanov. And what, can it be only an advertising trick? Photo: From the personal archive of Mikhail Gershkovich at the end of the football career, Sagittarius became a children's coach at the school of his native Torpedo.

Everyone knows the story of how I gave him an Olympic medal, because he played more games in the tournament than I, and he refused twice. We always had normal, good relations. He treated me respectfully, since the age difference was about 10 years old. Edward addressed me not by name, but called Palych. He was a modest guy, one might say, a big child. Many compare him with Gerd Müller.

They are both great. And his tandem with Ivanov ... This is also a domestic and world phenomenon in football, because I have never seen analogues of such interaction. When Streltsov began to play for veterans, the fans in some cities went out onto the streets with such a poster ... The “Championship” thanks for the help in preparing the material of Anzor Kavazashvili, Mikhail Gershkovich, Nikita Simonyan, Anatoly Byshovts and Valentina Ivanova, Lidia Gavrilovna.
