Biography
Born in Chuguev in the family of a military man. While still a child with his parents, he moved to Kiev , where he began to play football in the Kiev school for children under the guidance of Mikhail Korsunsky and Leonid Idzkovsky. In addition to football, he was fond of almost all game sports, as well as boxing, in which he achieved certain successes.
Initially gravitated to the game in the field, but once playing in the goal, he was impressed by his confident actions at the last frontier and gained a foothold in the role of the goalkeeper.
He played for the team of Kiev GORONO (DSSh-1) for about five years, during which he also defended the colors of the youth team of the Ukrainian SSR, in which he became the owner of the All-Union Youth Cup.
He got into his first professional club - Cheboksary "Energy" at the invitation of the coach of this team Arsen Naydenov , and almost immediately entrenched with the main team, playing in which he very soon attracted the attention of football experts, but from the many interesting proposals he chose the Ternopol Avangard , wanting to work with the mentor of this team - in the past the legendary goalkeeper Oleg Makarov . The time of collaboration did not pass for Degtyarev in vain: Makarov gave the young goalkeeper a good goalkeeper school and, especially, a wonderful skill to reflect the penalty .
In 1968, Degtyarev ended up in Zhytomyr Avtomobilist , which was led by a well-known specialist Viktor Zhilin , after which he went to Nikolaev Shipbuilder to another experienced mentor - Yevgeny Lemeshko , and, in the end, ended up in Kiev SKA , where he served in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the USSR , where he worked with one of his idols Nikolai Manoshin .
In 1973, at the invitation of Matvey Cherkassky Degtyarev was in Odessa "Chernomorets" , in which he spent the best years of his playing career. In the first year of his performance for the “sailors”, he won the small gold medals of the USSR championship , and a year later - the “bronze” of the USSR major league and a ticket to the UEFA Cup .
In 1979, an experienced goalkeeper was forced to leave the Odessa club, as part of which he played over a hundred official matches and ended his playing career in Chernihiv Desna . But he still held his last match in Odessa: on June 11, 1981, the “sailors” lost all active goalkeepers and urgently re-announced the already hanging boots on Degtyarev’s nail, who had to play all 90 minutes of a home calendar meeting with Moscow Spartak . Odessans lost 1: 4 [1] .
In the same year, Degtyarev joined the judiciary of the USSR and in a short period of time he rose to the position of assistant referee for the major league. In 1985, as the main arbiter, he made his debut in the first league of the USSR, having received the republican category. In 1991, he was included in the lists of judges for the assignment of an all-Union category, but because of the collapse of the USSR , he did not receive it, although in many sources this appears as a fait accompli and is mistakenly dated 1990.
Degtyarev refereed matches of the championship of Ukraine , at the same time engaged in the development of football in Odessa, successfully played in the championship of Ukraine for the veteran club "Richelieu" . For some time he worked as the director of the Odessa city stadium Spartak , and in the 1995/96 season he was the head of the Dynamo Flash team. Subsequently, he replenished the inspection building of Ukraine’s football and was elected vice president of the city football federation.
In 2001, Alexander Degtyarev was included in the list of the best football players of Odessa of the XX century and the symbolic team of the Chornomorets of all time.
