In the history of sport, Mykhaylo Fomenko is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Mykhaylo Fomenko as Ukrainian footballer (1948–2024).
Mykhaylo Fomenko was born in 1948. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Higher School of Coaches.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as association football player and association football coach.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
Recognition followed: Order of Merit (Ukraine), 3rd class and Order of Merit (Ukraine), 2nd class.
That the work was done from the Soviet Union matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Mykhaylo Fomenko died in 2024, aged 76. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
