discuss everything about NEFTCHI (Best FC In Azerbaijan Of all time)

 

[Poland-Cement]

Best ? I can discuss about that
But no doubt that they are fantastic at the moment. Matches with CSKA in CLQ also wasn't bad :thmbup:

 

[Nyuka]

I can even contest "fantastic Neftchi" too. But their recent international campaign has been satisfactory, but when it comes to domestic championship they have to improve a lot.

 

[RossoNeri_BAKU]

Neftchi always was leader of Azerbaijan's football :star:

Now there are other rivals and it's good for all and for Neftchi too :thmbup:

 

[AZERI_NESTA]

Yeah! Very interesting competition we have this year! That' great! But i think that Neftchi will win the NC this time! But i also wish good luck others! :thmbup:

That player is Anatoliy Banishevskiy, one of the best strikers in USSR history.

Kasparov was born in Baku, but I think he's half Jewish and half Armenian.

 

[Dmitriy]

i though he wa shalf Jewish and half Azeri, whatever.

thanks, i was wondering wat his name was, does not sound Azeri though.

Banishevskiy was a Malakan Russian, he was born in Baku

 

[Quidam]

His name was Anatoliy Banishevsky. He was one of the best soviet players back in 60s. He was very famous for his goal he scored against Brazil on legendary "Maracana" stadium. It was a unique goal in the sense that it was a header from the distance of 40 meters!

He was offered many times to move to Kiev or Moscow, but he always refused to do so and spend all his career playing for "Neftchi", and thruthfully deserved his title of the best azeri footballer of the century.

There were other great players like Alekper Mammedov who scored four golas on San-Siro against "Milan" with legendary Gianni Rivera, and won championship titles with "Dynamo" Moscow. Iskander Djavadov - one of the top goalscorers of Soviet League in 80s, Igor Ponomarev - an olympic champion of 1988 games with USSR national team, and lots of others.
But it wasn't only about football, it was about spirit, and Banishevsky had it all - great skills and talent, great personality, loyalty to his club, and love for his hometown.

P.S. As far as Garry Kassparov goes, he is not an azeri. He was born in Baku from jewish father (Kim Vanstein) and armenian mother (Klara Kassparova). Later on he changed his last name from Vanstein to Kassparov (he took his mother's maiden name) because he was afraid of antisemitism.

 

[Dmitriy]

oh, i'm assuming a Malakan Russian is a Russian born/raised in Azerbaijan.

 

[Quidam]

Actually, Malakan [alternative spelling is Molokan] is a religious minority in russian orthodox christinaty. Back in 18th century Russia they were persecuted and sent to exiles (usually to Siberia, Central Asia, and Caucasus), where they established own settlements. So, Anatoly Banishevsky to some extent is a descendant of early russian settlers in Azerbaijan.

 

[Azerkid]

Tommorow, Gencerlbirligi will be Neftchi's next victim

I predicted 3-1, goals by Adamia, Zaur, and Emin.... Mahmud and Visevic with the assists.

 

[Dmitriy]

good info, thanks Quidam.

 

[Quidam]

you are always welcome, Dmitriy!

Genclerbirlygi - PFC Neftci 1:2

 

[RossoNeri_BAKU]

Neftchi won yeaterday 1:0 ! :star:

New transfer Mishura scored a goal, also I want to notice that M.Gurbanov played great :thumbsup: Adamia didn't realize some good opportunites...

 

[PFCNeftchiBaku]

ok world cup is over league starts on sunday MOIK-NEFTCHI )

 

[RossoNeri_BAKU]

Neftchi won 1:0...I watched second half. Gurban scored only on 85 minute. Before referee had to sent off Rashad Sadigov, but he showed only "yellow card" and so helped Neftchi to win...
