Former football player of Spartak, Dnipro and the Soviet Union national team Yuri Gavrilov, who turned 70 on May 3, suffered a stroke and was taken by ambulance to one of the Moscow hospitals, TASS reports.
“He had a stroke while he is in intensive care. A plaque fell off an artery in the neck area, which blocked the blood supply by 60 percent. Now doctors are doing all the necessary manipulations - they will put a stent or dissolve this plaque. I think that everything will be fine, but he will remain in intensive care for a few more days, ” agency quotes son of football player Vasily Gavrilov.
Recall that in the years of his career, midfielder Yuri Gavrilov played for the Moscow Spartak, Dynamo and Lokomotiv, and in Ukraine he played for Dnipro. In addition, the legend of Russian football wore T-shirts from teams from Finland and Moldova. Gavrilov is a bronze medalist of the 1980 Olympic Games, as well as a two-time champion of the USSR. As part of the Soviet Union national team, the player played 46 matches and scored 10 goals.
By the way, the legendary coach Konstantin Beskov, highly appreciating the talent and skill of a football player, once uttered the famous phrase: “If you don’t know what to do with the ball, give it to Gavrilov.”
