Eduard Dubinski - Biography

Eduard Isaakovich Dubinski (Эдуард Исаакович Дубинский, , Eduard Isaakovych Dubynskyi; 19 April 1935 in Kharkiv – 11 May 1969 in Moscow) was a Ukrainian and Soviet football defender who won 12 caps (international appearances) as a member of the Soviet Union national football team in the 1960s.

Dubinski played right back and was a member of the Soviet Union national football team in the 1960s. In 1962, two years after the Soviets won the initial European Nations Cup, Dubinsky played in the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile. In the first game of the preliminary round, he was hospitalized with a broken leg caused by Yugoslavian Muhamed Mujic (Mujic was not carded for the foul). The injury caused sarcoma (a form of cancer), which eventually contributed to Dubinsky's death a number of years later.
