Drunk, Vladimir Dmitrievich

Player Career

Vladimir was born in a large mining family, where he was the youngest, eighth child. The family lived in the village of Rutchenkovo, Kirovsky district of the city ​​of Stalin (now Donetsk). He was also carried away by football, taking part in yard battles with peers. Soon the Vympel children's team was organized, with which Vladimir took part in the first All-Union tournament for the prize of the Leather Ball club.

Since 1962, he began to study in the Donetsk Shakhtar training group, with coach Grigory Vasilyevich Bikezin . In 1968 he became a player in the backup team of the mining team. In the same year, Shakhtar reservists, for the first time in their history, became winners of the USSR championship among backup teams. After this success, a number of young football players began to be involved in training and games for the first team in the “A” class of the USSR championship ^[2] .

Drunk made his debut in the elite division on April 18, 1970, in a duel against Tbilisi Dynamo ^[3] . In total, in his first season he played 11 matches for the main squad. Nevertheless, it was difficult for the young defender to compete for a place in the starting lineup and the next season Vladimir spent in Shakhtar from Kadievka , where the player had more playing practice. And in 1972, Pyanykh was drafted into the army and sent to the Kiev military district, where he played for the army team of the second league, based in Chernigov . With his game in the army team, the defender attracted the attention of CSKA coaches, but was not announced for the Moscow club, and after a short stay in the capital of the USSR, he returned to Ukraine.

After demobilization, Vladimir returns to Shakhtar Donetsk, which was first coached by Yuri Zakharov , and then replaced by Vladimir Salkov in this post. Gradually, the place was at the core, the defender steadily entered the field in the starting lineup, playing in tandem with Valery Gorbunov or Viktor Zvyagintsev . In 1975 he became the silver medalist of the USSR Championship .

Vladimir, who played in all championship matches, won silver medals for the second time. In the same year, the head of the Ukrainian SSR team, Valery Lobanovsky , invited the Drunk to this team, in which he became the bronze medalist of the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR . Successful for Vladimir was the 1980 season. In the championship, the Donetsk team was not very successful, taking only sixth place, but was able to break into the final of the USSR Cup , where she met with Dynamo Tbilisi. In a tense match, the Pitmen brought a victory to the Pitmen, scored by Drunkers who joined the attack. Subsequently, the defender himself described this episode as follows:

In the same year, 1980, the defender also distinguished himself with his debut goal in the major league of the USSR championship, on November 16 in a duel against CSKA , in 75 minutes he hit the goal of the goalkeeper of the Moscow army Novikov, equalizing the score in the match. But two minutes later, interrupting the attack, Vladimir cut the ball into his own goal, “giving” thus a victory to the visiting team ^[6] . For another two and a half seasons, Vladimir Pyanykh, who earned the respect of Donetsk fans for his dedication and intransigence on the football field, was a member of the Pitmen's club. Released in 1983, in Donetsk, the Shakhtar-82 directory, this characteristic is given to the Drunken style of play:

Vladimir ended his playing career in Gorlovka Shakhtar , where coach Yuri Vankevich invited him.
