EVERTON manager David Moyes smiled when he was asked whether his side needed to recreate 'the spirit of Kharkiv' ahead of this evening's match in Belarus. The dramatic 3-2 win in Ukraine two seasons ago on the club's only previous visit to the former Soviet Union provided the springboard for an exciting European adventure which should have gone on even longer had a seemingly shell-shocked Fiorentina not been fully dispatched at Goodison Park.
May, 1944 David Kelly is born in the Rhondda village of Llwynypia. Dr Kelly joins the Ministry of Defence, and over the next decade works on UN arms inspection teams inspecting sites in countries including Iraq and the former USSR.
WHEN Paul McCartney played Moscow's Red Square in 2003, he was the first Beatle ever to perform in the former USSR. Despite them singing "I'm back in the USSR" in their 1968 hit, they were not permitted to play in the Communist state.
HAVING declared herself to be 'cancer free' last month following a year-long battle with the disease, tennis star Martina Navratilova could well have been hoping for a period of tranquillity in her life. But thanks to the colourful private life of her girlfriend, 39- year-old former Miss USSR Julia Lemigova, it seems there are more clouds on the horizon for the nine-times Wimbledon champion.
THE show will go on! A concert by some of the best musicians in south Wales will be held tonight, despite the attentions of Swiss customs officials. The Mumbles Symphony Orchestra, which was formed last year, performs its third concert tonight, but without the talent of violinist Aleksandre Tigishvili. The Georgian musician was travelling from his home in the former USSR, to perform Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto at All Saints' Church in Oystermouth.
THE name may not be immediately familiar to Hearts supporters, but Eduard Malofeev is not a complete stranger to Scottish football. The 64-year-old Belarussian, yesterday named as the club's new sporting director, will certainly recall his first visit to this country with great affection. It was in May 1967 that Malofeev played for the Soviet Union when they defeated Scotland 2-0 in a friendly at Hampden.
IT LOOKED just like any group of carol singers back then in 1996 at Speke Airport. But these gift bearers from all over the North West were about to become part of TV history. At 6am on that freezing cold winter's day these kind-hearted kids were about to be dispatched, like little ambassadors, to a place where it was -13C, in the former USSR.
FROM the Mary Quant bob to Kate Middleton's flowing tresses, there isn't much that hairdresser John Belfield hasn't seen in a career that's spanned half a century. He's been cutting, colouring and correcting his clients' hair-related DIY disasters since he was just 14 years of age. He names Peter Shilton and Alan Hudson among the famous names he's worked on, and some of his loyal customers have been with him from the outset. Now aged 64, he's clocked up several notable firsts too. While his contemporaries relied on setting lotions to produce the rigidly immovable fashions of the day, John was the first person in Stoke-on-Trent to offer a cut and blow-dry.
