First of all, I'd say that every person who's keen on sport, has an idol. Personally for me, football is the best sport ever and it's shown us lots of legendary players. But Andriy Shevchenko has always been my favourite one. The Ukrainian has played in England, Italy and of course Ukraine, where he scored plenty of goals and became worldwide famous. Probably, the best period for him was in Italy, or rather in Milan. Just so you know he won the Champions League and the Golden Ball, which means that he had been the best in the world for at least one year. His Ukrainian career was a bit worse as well as the level of the football in Ukraine. It didn't stop him from destroying everybody and everything there, though. Nowadays he is the coach of the Ukrainian national team and continues winning the greatest teams such as Spain or Portugal. Doubtless, he is the greatest of all time.
