Leonid BURIAK: “Bal belonged to one of the brightest generations of players”
- It’s hard to talk right now. He was a great person and football player. Bal belonged to one of the brightest generations of performers alongside Bezsonov, Demianenko, Khidiatullin.
I’m a bit older, so he often asked me for advice and I helped. I think football has lost a great specialist. Andriy was always cheerful, so it was a pleasure to communicate with him.

- What’s happening in early August isn’t normal. At first Valentyn Belkevych and now – Andriy Bal… As a player Andriy proved everything on the pitch. He was a great person. Bal was really respected in football circles. I can’t believe I won’t hear his voice any more…

Stella ZAKHAROVA: “I cant speak of Andriy Bal in past tense”
- In 1980s we, gymnasts, often came to the stadium and supported Dynamo. At that time the team was pride of Kyiv. Andriy Bal is a great man. He devoted his whole life to people and football. I can’t speak of him in past tense.
