Biography
Anatoli Alekseyevich Zinchenko (Russian: Анатолий Алексеевич Зинченко) (born August 8, 1949 in Stalinsk) is a retired Soviet football player and Russian coach. He is best known for being the first Soviet football player to play for a Western European professional club. His transfer to SK Rapid Wien was initiated by Austrian communist journalist Kurt Chastka. Because Soviet footballers were officially amateurs, he was formally employed as an equipment technician at the Soviet embassy while playing for Rapid, while his Rapid salary was sent over to the Soviet government.
International career
Zinchenko made his debut for USSR on September 24, 1969 in a friendly against Yugoslavia. He was capped three times in total.
