Andryi Shevchenko
More soccer guys, so much more soccer. Andriy is from the Ukraine and instead of playing as a footballer, we can definitely call him a soccer player. He was born on September 29, 1976 which is officially makes him a baby by my terms. He was born in Dvirkivscyna, Kiev Oblast and played for A.C. Milan and the Ukraine national team. He is the third highest scorer in the history of European club completion with sixty goals behind Flippo Inzaghi and Gerd Muller.
When he was nine, it was the time of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and his village was affected by the disaster. His family was forced to abandon their home and move to the coast to escape the after effects. Prior to that time he had also dabbled in boxing but eventually decided to move on to soccer.
He is married to an American model Kristen Pazik. They met at a Giorgio Armani part in 2002 and were married in July of 2004 in a private ceremony on a golf course. Uh? A golf course? Ok, whatever. They use Italian as their primary language but he is making public his desire to learn English.
His name does not have a single transliterated and the spelling used throughout his career has been adopted by UEFA and FIFA. It is the most preferred spelling in English publications as well. His individual accolades include Commonwealth of Independent States Cup Top Scorer in 1997 to a Ukrainian Footballer of the Year in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004 and 2005 all the way to an A.C. Milan second time all-star scorer.
Yummy!
