Serhiy Rebrov (Ukrainian - Сергій Ребров) is a Ukrainian footballer. He was born on March 6, 1974 in Gorlovka, Donetsk region, Ukraine. His height and weight as of June 2005 were 173 cm and 64 kg respectively.
Career history
He joined Shakhtar Donetsk as a youth in 1990-1991 season. In August 1992, he moved to Dynamo Kyiv. Between 1992 and 2000, he scored a record of 94 goals in 192 Ukrainian Championship games, 18 goals in 35 Ukrainian Cup games, and 13 goals in a record 65 international appearances. He scored several key goals in the European competitions notably in the 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 UEFA Champions League seasons, including a famous goal from a tight angle against Barcelona. FC Dynamo Kyiv did reach the UEFA Champions League semifinals in 1999, only to lose to FC Bayern Munich on aggregate. In June 2000 he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for a club record 11 million Euros. However, his performance was not as great as that in Dynamo Kyiv. Some say it was due to his inability to adapt to the English football style. After several loan moves to other clubs such as Fenerbarche and West Ham United, on 1 June 2005 Rebrov became a free agent after declining to re-sign. However, 2 days later he signed a new 2 year contract at Dynamo Kyiv, with an extra optional year. This would be a very vital decision which would greatly help out the club after it had failed to claim the 2004-2005 Ukrainian Championship title. After the start of the new 2005-2006 season Rebrov made his presence felt on 22 July when he scored with a powerful shot making it 4-0 against Stal' Alchevsk. He also scored in several other championship games, extending his national record to almost 100 goals.
