In the generously illustrated book "Blokhin," the life path of this great athlete is traced from the very beginning of his football career, telling about his parents and significant figures in national sports, such as Kateryna Zaharivna Adamenko and Volodymyr Ivanovych Blokhin. It was they who gave their son a ticket to professional sports, presenting him vividly as a football player, coach, father, grandfather...

We remind you that the former star forward of Kyiv "Dynamo," winner of the 1975 Golden Ball award, and now co-chairman of the Strategic Development Council for Professional Football at the UAF and co-chairman of the National Teams Committee at the UAF, Oleh Blokhin celebrated his 70th birthday on November 5 .
