Dasaev

Кубок мира stalwart for USSR
Rinat Fayzrakhmanovich Dasayev
World number one in eighty eight
In the footsteps of the great Lev

Named six times best goalie by Ogonyok
"The Cat" from Spartak Moscow
Little way past the twice champion
When “The Iron Curtain” hung low

Three world cups from eighty two
Second most capped Soviet ever
Moscow Olympic bronze
For the much celebrated Tatar

UEFA Champions league ambassador
Euro eighty eight final esprit
Rooted he had no chance
With Van Basten's astonishing volley

Number7
