Oleg Kuznetsov is a former professional Ukrainian football player. Born in 1963 in Magdeburg, East Germany, Kuznetsov had started playing club football since age 8. However, it wasn't until he was 20 when his talent was noticed by the Soviet giants at that time, Dynamo Kyiv.
A spectacular stopper, Kuznetsov stayed with Dynamo until 1990, when he transferred to Scottish club Rangers F.C. in the prime of his career. After a four year stint, hampered by injuries, Kuznetsov retired in 1997, after an illustrious career. Kuznetsov played in 63 games for the USSR national team, scoring 1 goal, and appeared 3 times for the Ukraine side after the fall of the Soviet Union. A six-time domestic champion (3 with Dynamo Kyiv and 3 with Rangers F.C.) he took 11th place in the European Footballer of the Year award in 1989, and 17th place in 1989.
