>>A HERO Yes, it was Oleg Blokhin, he was a player in Ukraine, a forward who played most of his career for Dynamo Kiev and the Russian national team

>>COACH Valery Lobanovsky, he was a great man and was like my father. He died six years ago, but was very influential for me. I was a good young player and after I started to work with him it changed me into a very good player. He is a
'Hero of Ukraine', the highest honour you can be awarded and the Kiev stadium is named after him.

>>A GOOD CAUSE With FIFA I am an ambassador of the SOS Children's Villages, I help with this charity in the Ukraine. We help orphans and it's going very well.

>>I PLAYED AGAINST HIM Definitely Zidane, I never played with him properly but a couple of times in charity games, he was a fantastic player.

>>I PLAYED WITH HIM I would say Paolo Maldini, a great defender, one of the best in the world, like Franco Baresi or JohnTerry. I still speak to him, I don't know if he will retire or not. He is strong and if he didn't have problems with his knees he could play more.

>>FIRST GOAL I remember it, I was nine and I played a lot. It was a nice goal, with the outside of my right foot from outside the area.

>>FIRST TROPHY Again it was when I was nine, I started to play in competitions in the city, playing with boys older than me and we won the tournament.

>>FIRST CAR It was a Russian model, a Lada. After a year I changed it and gave it to my father. He still has it for sentimental reasons.

>>FIRST MISTAKE I was always in trouble when I was younger, running around everywhere. I remember playing and putting my hand in fire - I got burned and it really hurt!

>>REASON TO BE PROUD I am proud to do what I do, I have a great job and I am lucky to meet people and have good things in life. It is always to believe and think positive.

>>STARK REALITY A reason why I have the charity is because of all the bad things I see in Ukraine and a lot of people are trying to help.

>>GOAL OF THE MONTH Maybe Joe Cole or Michael Essien at Tottenham. No, I like Riccy's header against Middlesbrough!

>>SAVE OF THE MONTH Definitely Carlo Cudicini at the end against Tottenham, what a save!
