Biography
He started playing in 1933 in Gorlovka in the youth team "Dynamo" .
In 1936 (until June), he played in the Ugolschiki team (Gorlovka). In July of the same year, he moved to Dzerzhinets-STZ (Stalingrad). In the season 1936, he took part in 7 out of 8 official matches and scored at least 7 out of 13 goals for the team of FC Dzerzhinets-TSTZ .
In October 1936, he played 2 games for Spartak (Kharkov). However, he could not find a common language with coach Nikolai Krotov and soon left the team [2] .
In early 1937 he returned to Stalingrad , where he continued performances for the Tractor . Together with Ponomarev the club rose from the first league to the highest.
In the Premier League, Ponomarev made his debut on May 13, 1938 in the match Lokomotiv (Tbilisi) - Tractor. The game ended in a draw 1: 1, and Ponomarev becoming the author of the only ball in the composition of the guests.
At the end of the 1938 season, Ponomarev became the top scorer in the league with 19 balls, sharing the championship with Makar Goncharenko . Contributed to the discovery of the bombing talent Ponomarev successful step of the new coach "Tractor" Yuri Khodot , who transferred Ponomarev in 1938 from the place of an insider to the center of the line of attack.
In 1939, "Tractor" began to use the game structure "double-ve", so that became the storm of the leading clubs in the country. Thus, in the 1st round of the 1939 championship in a home game on July 1, Stalingrad defeated the champions of the country - the football players of Moscow “Spartak” - with a score of 3: 1. The author of 2 balls became Ponomarev [3] . Thanks to this victory, Tractor caught up with Spartak on points and shared 1st place with him in the standings.
However, the following 2 calendar games “Tractor” lost - to Stalin’s “Stakhanovts” 2: 4 and to Leningrad “Stalin’s” 1: 7. The reason was the “transfer” of the leading players of the Tractor to the capital teams - Ponomarev to the Moscow Dynamo and Vasily Provornov to the CDKA. The Stalingrad party organization and a number of public organizations appealed against this arbitrariness on the part of the capital clubs, seeking help from the Central Committee of the CPSU (b). As a result, already on July 28, 1939, at a meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b), chaired by I. Stalin , a decision was made on the inadmissibility of these arbitrary decisions, on canceling the Tractor players ’recruitment to the Red Army and on replaying the Tractor-Stakhanovets and "Stalinets" - "Tractor" [3] .
Following the results of the 1st round, having 2 games left, “Tractor” took the 3rd place in the league with 17 points, conceding 3 points to the leader - Moscow “Spartak”. The second round of Stalingrad was less successful, but at the end of the season the team showed the best result in the history of their performances in the big leagues - 4th place.
In 1941, the secretariat of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions decided to concentrate all the best football players of the trade union teams into two teams based in Moscow, known as Trade Unions-1 and Trade Unions-2, which were announced to the big leagues. At the same time, the Moscow trade union clubs Lokomotiv, Torpedo, Krylya Sovetov and Metallurg were liquidated. Three players of the Stalingrad "Tractor" were also transferred to the "Trade Unions-1" team, including Ponomarev [4] . In the new team, he played until the beginning of the war .
Since July 1941 - as part of Moscow for the " Torpedo ". In 1945, together with the club won the bronze championship of the USSR, and in 1946 with 18 balls he became the top scorer of the championship.

In 1949 he helped the club (being already captain of the Avtozavodtsev) to become the owner of the USSR Cup. In the same year, he set the Torpedo club record for one season - 23 goals.
