anatoli bashashkin

anatoli vasilievich bashashkin -lrb- ; 23 february 1924 , reutovo , moscow governorate , russia -- 27 july 2002 , moscow , russia -rrb- was a russian footballer in the 1940s and 1950s and a football coach later .
he played as a central defender .
he was captain of the soviet union at the 1952 olympics , but following their politically embarrassing defeat to yugoslavia he was stripped of the captaincy .
in 1947 -- 1953 bashashkin was a member of the cdka team that won four domestic titles in the 1940s and earlier 1950s -lrb- 1947 , 1948 , 1950 , 1951 -rrb- , but following the 1952 olympics the team was disbanded by joseph stalin .
after that he moved to spartak moscow in 1953 .
after stalin 's death he returned to cdka -lrb- renamed cdsa at that time -rrb- in 1954 and played there until 1958 .
bashashkin was part of the ussr team which won the 1956 olympic football title .
he won ussr gold medals five times -lrb- four times with cdka in 1947 , 1948 , 1950 , 1951 and once with spartak in 1953 -rrb- and soviet cup three times -lrb- 1948 , 1951 , 1955 -rrb- .
he was noted for his ability on the ball , physical strength and his long-range passing , which started countless counterattacks .
after retirement from football bashashkin graduated from the military academy of armored forces and served in ukraine as a tank military officer of the soviet army .
later he returned to football as a coach .
bashahkin was the main coach of fc pakhtakor tashkent in 1976 and he was an assistant coach -lrb- under konstantin beskov -rrb- of fc spartak moscow in 1981 .
according to journalist pavel alyoshin , bashashkin was not very successful as a coach , spending much time telling the players of the 1970s and 80s how inferior they were compared to the footballers of the 1950s .
