To Andriy Biba on the occasion of his 80th birthday
Dear Andriy Andriyovych!
It’s quite symbolic that Your big birthday coincides with FC Dynamo Kyiv milestone anniversary. You became related to this club the day You were born. Later You inscribed Your name into its history with golden letters.
You’re a true warrior and captain. You were the first Dynamo performer to become the USSR best player. It’s hardly possible to imagine the first “gold” of our team, victorious hat trick in 1966-68 and the White-Blues European debut.
Famous Pele was honored to pose next to You as You were the one, who could turn football into art. For Dynamo youngsters You’re not only living legend, but also great role model.
I wish You many happy returns of the day, good health, luck and harmony!
