Alexei Khomich

During his career he played for FC Dynamo Moscow and FC Dinamo Minsk. He came to international prominence following Dynamo Moscow's tour of Great Britain in 1945, when his outstanding bravery led to him receiving the nickname "Tiger". He was noted for his excellent reflexes and energetic style. With Dynamo Moscow he won Soviet Championships in 1945 and 1949, while he was also a runner up on four other occasions. He was also remembered as a mentor to the great Lev Yashin in the early part of Yashin's career with Dynamo Moscow. For most of the Khomich's career, Soviet Union did not compete internationally. The first tournament at which it was represented was the 1952 Olympics. Khomich was never called up and does not have an international cap. After retiring as a player, Khomich became sports photographer, working with Sovetsky Sport and Soviet Football.
