Dear friends and fans of BEKA, today is another important day, because as you all can imagine we are continuing and consolidating our classical section Great Unknown Players.
Today, the unique and marvellous Tsar! (Zar), who has given to many Galician football fans the exalted flair of greatness.
Ladies and Gentleman, the one and only Tsar of Balaídos:
Александр Владимирович Мостовой

Aleksandr Vladimirovich Mostovoi
Born August 22, 1968 in Leningrad, USSR Mostovoi played for both the Soviet national team and the Russian national team. He is known for his temper, and has had trouble with coaches, which led to Mostovoi being sent off the team by Georgi Yartsev during Russia's trip to Euro 2004. He played in the Euro 96 and the 1994 World Cup. He was a squad member for the 2002 tournament, but he did not play due to injury.
Mostovoi's big break came when he signed for Celta Vigo in 1996 for 325 million pesetas (circa 1,950,000 euros). He made his debut for the Galician club in a 2-0 home defeat against Real Betis. His creative play and key goals made him a cult figure at Balaidos, as the club rose to near the top of La Liga standings year after year. He was nicknamed 'The Tsar of Balaídos' by the Celta fans. However, Mostovoi couldn't help the freefall that hit Celta in the 2003-04 season, knocking it down to the Segunda División. He moved to Deportivo Alavés for the second half of 2004-2005 season, after which he retired.
