		In the 22-man squad for the game with Greece, for example, the only foreign-based players were a trio plying their trade in Russia, another from Germany (Andriy Voronin at Bayer Leverkusen) and, of course, Shevchenko of AC Milan.

		A fearsome striker, much was expected of Blokhin after his retirement, having been a protégé of legendary Dynamo and Ukraine coach Valeriy Lobanovskiy.
