“For twenty years, Utkin was the number one character in football stories. He knew a lot, he was a great professional… Health is such a thing, God forbid that this happens to us. I miss his reports, his analyses,” added Lovchev, whose words transmit “S.E.”
Vasily Outkin died on March 19 at the age of 53. According to unofficial data, a blood clot broke off. The famous commentator will be buried in Balashikha.
