Monday 13th December 1982

Vitaly Daraselia (25), Georgian football player, died in a car crash. He played for FC Dinamo Sokhumi, FC Dinamo Tbilisi and the Soviet Union national team. Daraselia is mostly remembered for his wonderful winning goal for FC Dinamo Tbilisi in 1981, in the final game of UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, rushing into the penalty area past two defenders, just 3 minutes before full time whistle.
