Defender Akhrik Socratesovich Zweiba, who played in his time in four national teams: the USSR, the CIS, Ukraine and Russia, tells the story.
Once my first coach Vladimir Astamurovich Shamba gathered in Moscow. There were no tickets. Friends promised to help, came with him to Adler airport. Drinking on the road. They decided to joke - instead of a Moscow flight, they boarded a plane that was heading to Arkhangelsk. Uncle Woo immediately fell asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard the stewardess’s voice: “In a few minutes we will land at the airport of the city of Arkhangelsk.” He descended from the trap, went to the post office, repelled the telegram: "I flew well. I often remember your mother.”
