Salenko is a former Russian international striker and is generally famous for just one thing – scoring a record five goals in a World Cup finals match.

Salenko’s special moment came in 1994 when the finals were hosted in the USA, as he smashed five of his side’s six goals in their 6-1 demolition of Cameroon.

A 42-year-old Roger Milla replied for the Africans. In a game of records, Salenko’s feat was a first while Milla became the competition’s oldest goalscorer.

Salenko, who turns 46 today, added another goal in Russia’s game against Sweden and it was enough to see him share the Golden Boot with Bulgaria’s Hristo Stoichkov.

Salenko played at Zenit Leningrad, Dynamo Kyiv, Logroñés, Córdoba, Valencia, Rangers and İstanbulspor in a nomadic club career that lasted from 1986 to 2000.
