Father - Borodyuk Henry Aleksandrovich G. Mother - Borodyuk Ekaterina Mitrofanovna G. wife - Borodyuk Galina Yuryevna, housewife. The son - Borodyuk Anton Aleksandrovich G. Daughter - Anastasia G. Parents Alexander Genrikhovich ended up in Voronezh, where they met, in search of a better share: his father came there to work from Belarus, mother from the village of Ramon of the Voronezh region.

The parents did not work out family life, they divorced when their son was only a year old. Little Sasha Borodyuk grew up in the literal sense of the word with a reinforcement. One mother raised it, who, without any doubt, can be considered one of those strong Russian women who had sung N. lived poorly, occupied a room in a communal apartment, where six more families huddled.

Ekaterina Mitrofanovna, who had never complained about her fate, managed to raise her son, give him an education, and raise a person and a citizen of her country in him. I didn’t bother my son’s instructions and unnecessary care, simply noticing his enthusiasm for sports, I bought skates, a club and a puck by winter, and a football ball was by summer. What kind of gap did such acquisitions in those difficult times have made in the budget of the single-time budget, one can only guess.

Sasha, depending on the time of the year, enthusiastically kicked the ball in the yard or drove the puck. In the memory of Alexander Genrikhovich, a picture of tough yard football fights with local lovers of green serpent was forever preserved. The boys, if they won, could count on sweets, and if the adults prevailed, they fled for them for vodka. The men fought for such "prize" that there were strength, not sparing themselves either themselves or the children.

It was hard to win with them. Sasha Borodyuk tempered his sporting character, including in such fights. The unsystematic hobby of football was put to an end when Yu. Korotkov, a football specialist, accidentally turned the attention of the boy’s obvious abilities. He advised him to sign up for a football section. Sasha listened. At the age of 12, he began to train under the supervision of coaches.

Alexander’s life turned out to be painted, as they say, in minutes: at 7 in the morning - traveling to school, from 8. Alexander returned home only after 6 pm, tired, but satisfied. Alexander Genrikhovich, now the well -known football mentor himself, with particular warmth recalls his first mentors, the founders of the Voronezh Dyuschor B. Chernyshov, its first director, known in the past of the football player of the Trud team, the coach and teacher, master of sports of the USSR in football, as well as Yu.

Korotkov, who then taught him football basics. Alexander Borodyuk dreamed of once playing for the Voronezh “torch”. The dream came true after graduation at the same time both secondary and specialized football schools: in the year it was invited to the double of “torch”. Although the team performed in the second division, the players played in it, who passed the school of the Higher League of the Union Championship.

Playing side by side with real professionals, the young football player received an excellent hardening. The senior members of the team were still full of strength, so his own prospects seemed to Alexander vague. In addition, the real prospect of being drafted for two years in the army loomed. The case helped to get out of the situation. He was invited to play in the Vologda Dynamo, was formally ordinary in one of the military units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In the Soviet Union, such a practice was very widespread, when capable athletes who have reached conscription age, instead of real military service, played for departmental teams of army and law enforcement agencies of the country. In the year, Alexander, having passed the accelerated course of a young fighter and accepting a military oath, already played in the Vologda team of the masters of the second League Dynamo.

Excellent experts worked in it. Her boss was A. Kesaarev, one of the best defenders in Soviet football of that time, a former player of the country's national team, aimed at strengthening in Vologda at the end of the year by the decision of the Club Central Council. It was at him that Alexander Borodyuk played truly, professionally, of course, not without the help of the team veterans who taught the newcomer “tough and specifically”.

In the year, he got to the “crossing” tournament in Sochi, held by decision of the Football Department of the State Committee on Physical Culture and Sports of the USSR. The purpose of the tournament was to give chancers to take football heights with games, who were no longer suitable by age for young and youth teams and did not find their place in big football.

Alexander played at the tournament for the junior team of Russia, showed a good game and received a prize as the best midfielder. In the year, he was seconded from Vologda to the Moscow Dynamo with the official wording "to second an ordinary beard to protect order in the capital of the USSR." Another dream of Alexander came true - to get into the legendary club, in which L.

Yashin played, V. there passed the last months of his urgent service. It was the daily hard work of a professional football player. He did not linger on the bench, he soon went to the game in the position of the left midfielder. Alexander succeeded.For achievements on the field, I even received, remaining in the super -working service, the title of junior lieutenant, having become, however, until the moment of dismissal from the service is very vulnerable to the authorities: it is decided to send him to the teams of the Dynamo club, say, Makhachkala or Samarkand, and I would have to go.

He tried to play so that under no circumstances to be a burden for the team. He was distinguished by a wide range of actions played in the role of both the striker and the midfielder, a strong blow from both legs, a high technique of processing the ball at speeds, a goature. For eight years of staying at Dynamo, Alexander Borodyuk made a lot for the team, as, however, for him.

Twice, in the years, he was recognized as the best scorer of the USSR championship. This title, as they say, was expensive, given that in those years there were many other, more sonorous names in Soviet football. In parallel, he graduated from the Institute of Physical Culture in Malakhovka, Moscow Region. He completed this period of his sports biography on June 28 by participating in the unofficial match of the USSR national team against the “Star of the World” national team, in which he scored a goal.

In July, Alexander Borodyuk left Dynamo to the German Club of Bundesliga Gelzenkirhen, becoming the first Russian legionnaire in Germany, which opened the way to the football of this country to other players in Russia. The reasons for his departure were obvious: the USSR was seven -mimic steps to its collapse, the future of the sports movement in the country was covered with frightening darkness.

In addition, any football player once has a foreboding that the time has come to change the team. It appeared in Alexander. He could well go to Dynamo Kiev, but the head coach A. Byshovets was ready to let him go only abroad. The case was not long in coming: in Moscow was the manager of the Schalke team, who watched the Dynamo match with Torpedo, in which Alexander scored a goal.

Soon there were already negotiations with the Dynamo leadership of his move to Gelsenkirhen. Senior Lieutenant Borodyuk was urgently unclenched to eliminate the last obstacle to his departure to Germany. Upon arrival in Germany, he had to get rid of some habits vaccinated by the Soviet football system. In particular, in the German team, training should be prepared as seriously and carefully as for games.

There, no one explained at the meeting that it should be worked properly, since an important match is ahead. But in general, there were no problems with adaptation to new conditions.

Schalke coach Klaus Fisher once said that Alexander played in German football, not even knowing the German language, almost from the first day. True, in order to make no extra questions and comments, Alexander laid out on the field, in training and in games as much as possible. The team had a tough limit on legionnaires: no more than two people, and there were eight. The only chance to get into the main composition is to exceed the rest.

Alexander for three seasons in a row became the best sniper of the club. This forced himself to respect, scoring 29 goals in the first two seasons. The stands, when Alexander received the ball, was usually chanted: “Mountains! In the year, Borodyuk leaves Schalke - there was no relationship with the new team coach - and accepts an invitation from the Freiburg Bundesliga football club.

He plays for him one season, until October, and then, until November, in the Ganover team. In Germany, the Russian legionnaire Borodyuk recorded a total of 46 heads in the first and second Bundesligs, two of which, clogged in Schalke, decided the fate of the German championship. He is so far the only Russian football player who managed to enter the top three best players in Germany in his role.

The German weekly Kicker assigned Alexander Borodyuk the status of an international class player, his surname was inscribed in the history of German football as an author of a thousandth goal. In the year, Alexander Genrikhovich ended the contract, and he accepted the proposal of Yu. Semin, the head coach of Lokomotiv, go to his team. Of course, it would be preferable for him to return to the Moscow “Dynamo”, to the club, which gave him a ticket to great sport, but its then head coach A.

Golodets, who knew the possibility of an eminent player, for some reason decided to arrange a control viewing of the Olympic champion. Alexander Borodyuk considered this humiliating for himself. He returned from Germany without regret, did not want to stay there under any circumstances, although he was offered to arrange a residence permit, buy real estate. But for him there and seven years later, everything remained a stranger: completely different mentality, psychology, the way of life of the people surrounding him.

Since the year, Alexander Borodyuk has already played in Lokomotiv, making serious competition to young players. True, at the beginning of the first season, he received a serious injury and for a long time was out of order. He restored the form, after which there was the semifinals of the Russian Cup, and then the victorious final game against Dynamo, in which Alexander Borodyuk proved that the head coach of Dynamo doubted him in vain.The former legionnaire will score the hundredth ball in the championships of the country, will become a member of the symbolic club Grigory Fedotov, uniting Soviet and Russian football players who scored so many goals during his sports career.

In the year, he will play 12 matches for Torpedo-Zil Moscow and end the player’s career in the year, being already in the Samara team “Wings of the Soviets”. The track record of football player A.
