Vyacheslav Fetisov marks 60th birthday
On Friday, the 20th of April, one of the greatest players in hockey history celebrated his 60th birthday. Vyacheslav Fetisov started out as a youngster playing hockey in the yard and went on to reach the pinnacle of the sport, becoming a member of the exclusive Triple Gold Club – players who have won the Stanley Cup, Olympic gold and World Championship gold. Even this accolade barely hints at his success, bearing in mind that he won the Stanley Cup twice (plus one more as a coach), was a two-time Olympic champion and collected no fewer than seven golds at the Worlds. In international hockey, he was a fearsome defenseman and captain of the formidable Red Machine USSR team, as well as excelling in the leagues on both sides of the Atlantic.
