Nikolay began to play football in the Cherkasy youth sports school at the Spartak stadium, where Alexander Nikolayevich Blud became his first coach. Later, he continued his studies in Kharkiv sports internate, after which he became a player in the back-up team of Dnipropetrovsk Dnipro . Having played the season for reservists, the young striker was drafted into the army and sent to the Far East, where he soon began to play for the army team of craftsmen from Khabarovsk.
Demobilized in 1988, Lipinsky returns to Ukraine, where he becomes a player in the second-team Shakhtar (Pavlograd) . The backbone of the team were experienced players and the young player was not often given the chance to prove himself in the first team. At the end of the season, Nikolai leaves the miners, moving to the Belarusian club Gomselmash . In a team from Gomel, Lipinsky gets a stable match practice, but despite this, he decides to move to his hometown, having received an invitation from one of his children's coaches, Rudolf Kozenkov , who headed Cherkasy Dnipro by that time [1] . The 1990 season of Cherkasy Region was not very successful, the team was in the bottom of the standings for most of the championship and finished 18th in the championship. Nevertheless, the season for Lipinsky himself was not bad, the striker steadily entered the field in the first team, was the leader of the team’s attacks, scoring 6 goals and became her top scorer.
The 1991 season , which was the last in the history of the USSR Championships, Nikolai spent in the Neftyanik team (Akhtyrka) , which included winning the 1st zone of the second league of the USSR and the champion of the Ukrainian USSR . The following year, the “oilmen” started in the first independent championship of Ukraine . The debut of Lipinsky and his team in the highest league took place on March 7, 1992, in an away match against SKA from Odessa , in which the “Oilman” won a victory with a score of 1: 0. Nikolay scored his first goal in the elite division on April 8, 1992, in the game “Oilman” - “Volyn” 2: 1, bringing victory to his team for 90 minutes of the match. In general, their first season in the elite of Ukrainian football, the team did not successfully, taking 8th place in the subgroup, leaving the big league. Lipinski, who played consistently in the first team, scored only 3 goals, but even such a modest figure allowed the attacker to become the team's top scorer.
The first round of the 1992/93 season, the striker played in the first league playing for Neftyanik, where he managed to play 17 matches and score 7 goals. In 1993, Lipinsky moved to the Slovak club Slopod, representing the city of Michalovce , which included two more players from the Ukraine, Mikhail Savka and Roman Schur [1] . After some time, the striker signs a contract with another Slovak club, Kosice , in which he makes his debut in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup tournament , where he received the right to play his new club as the current holder of the Czechoslovak Cup . For the first time in the European Cup tournament Nikolay took part in the return game against Vilnius Zalgiris , entering the field in the starting lineup. Following the results of two matches, Košice won and reached the 1/16 finals, where he met with the Turkish Besiktas . Having beaten an opponent in his field 2: 1, the Slovakian team lost 2: 0 in the second match. In the second leg, Nikolay came out again in the starting lineup, playing his second match in European competition. In the championship of Slovakia, the Ukrainian football player had 14 fights, and his team finished in 5th place.
In the summer of 1994, while on vacation in Ukraine, Nikolay received an offer from the management of Karpat to go to the Lviv club. Despite the current one-year contract with Kosice, the footballer accepts the offer and already in August, after Karpaty settled all the formalities with his former club, he became a full-fledged player in the Lviv team, headed by coach Miron Markevich . In his new team, Lipinsky composed an attacking duet with another striker, Andrei Pokladk . Nikolay made his debut for the Lviv club on August 18, in a duel against Veres , and already in his third match, in which Karpaty accepted Lugansk Zarya , he distinguished himself with his first goal, hitting the gates of Lugansk goalkeeper Andrei Nikitin already in the first minute of the match . This ball, scored shortly after the starting whistle, was one of the fastest goals in the history of the Lviv club [1] . Despite a stable place in the composition, in the spring of 1995 the striker was forced to leave Lviv because of a conflict with one of the club’s functionaries that occurred on the eve of the match with Dnipropetrovsk Dnipro [1] . The rest of the season, the striker, played in the first-half "Rock" from the city of Stryi , becoming one of its leaders. Having spent only half the season in the team, he became the team's top scorer, having distinguished himself with 5 goals scored.
