Eduard Streltsov

Eduard Streltsov was born in 1937, in Perovo, near Moscow, and was one of the greatest strikers in Soviet Union history. He made his debut at Torpedo Moscow while still a teenager, in 1954. For the Soviet national team, he made his debut in 1955 and scored three goals in his first match, against Sweden. In 1956, he was part of the Olympic champion squad in Melbourne and became seen as a great prospect for the 1958 World Cup. In 1958, shortly before the World Cup, he was arrested and convicted on a rape charge, which he denied. He served approximately five years of forced labor and was released in 1963. He returned to Torpedo in 1965 and was Soviet champion that year. He was elected the best Soviet footballer in 1967 and for the national team he had 38 matches and 25 goals. He died in 1990, and the Torpedo stadium in Moscow bears his name.
