Template:Eastern Slavic name Roman Anatolyevich Pavlyuchenko (Russian: Роман Анатольевич Павлюченко; born 15 December 1981 in Mostovskoy) is a Russian footballer playing as a centre forward for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and for the Russian national team. He is considered to be the anti-Christ by a bunch of douchebags on Spurscommunity.

Club career

Spartak Moscow

Pavlyuchenko moved to Spartak Moscow in the spring of 2003. During his time at Spartak, Pavlyuchenko was the club's most prolific goalscorer, scoring 109 goals in 187 games. His goalscoring, together with his loyalty to the rhombik (the club's emblem), earned him much respect and appreciation from the "Army of Red-White Fans".

Tottenham Hotspur

In September 2008, Pavlyuchenko signed for Tottenham Hotspur[3] for a reported fee of £14 million.[4] Pavlyuchenko made his debut for the Spurs on 15 September against Aston Villa.[5] He scored his first goal on 24 September 2008, in the 2–1 League Cup 3rd round win against Newcastle United.[6] Pavlyuchenko went on to score his first league goal for the club in the 2–0 victory against Bolton Wanderers on 26 October 2008.[7] He has scored in every English domestic cup competition game he has played in, except for the 2009 Football League Cup Final. In the 2009–10 season, Pavlyuchenko was fourth-choice striker for Tottenham, with Harry Redknapp preferring Robbie Keane, Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe to the Russian.[citation needed]

Pavlyuchenko came on as a substitute on 21 February against Wigan Athletic and scored his first league goal of the season, a close-range finish to make the score 2–0. He also added a second from a very tight angle during injury time to make it 3–0. He made only his second start of the season on three days later in the FA Cup fifth-round replay against Bolton Wanderers and scored twice, a match Tottenham won 4–0. Redknapp has since gone on to say that the Russian striker has taken his opportunity and may well see further first team action.[8] Pavlyuchenko continued his good form with another goal against Everton on the 28 February, and another two goals against Blackburn Rovers on 13 March. He also scored a goal in the quarter-final replay against Fulham at White Hart Lane on 24 March. On 17 August, he scored a vital away goal against BSC Young Boys in the Champions League play-off round first leg. Tottenham were losing 3–0 until a Sébastien Bassong header pulled it back to 3–1 and Pavlyuchenko later made it 3–2. In the second leg, Spurs won 4–0 at home, meaning that they would progress into the Champions League group stages. Pavlyuchenko's promising form in this tournament continued with two second-half penalty strikes against FC Twente in Tottenham's second group match, followed by a decisive third goal as Spurs beat cup holders Inter Milan on Matchday 4. On 4 November, Pavlyuchenko scored with a volley in a 4–2 defeat to Bolton Wanderers. The following weekend, he scored again in a home win against Blackburn Rovers. On 6 March 2011, he scored a goal against Wolves. He scored the first goal against West Bromwich Albion on 2–2 draw on April. Pavlyuchenko scored a goal in a London derby against Chelsea in a 1–1 draw. On 22 May, the final day of the season, Pavlyuchenko scored two stunning long-range goals in a 2–1 win against Birmingham City to ensure that Tottenham finished fifth in the Premier League and qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League. The win also relegated Birmingham to the Championship.[9] The Russian's Tottenham career up until this point had consisted of constantly being down the pecking order despite in the 2009-10 season having a better goals per minute ratio than all of his fellow strike partners in Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane. The same went for the 2010-11 season when in March Pavlyuchenko had a minutes per goals ratio of 151 compared to competitors Jermain Defoe who had 208, Peter Crouch had 243 and Rafael van der Vaart had 161.[10] In December of the 2011-12 season, the striker had been restricted to just 18 minutes of Barclays Premier League football, until he came on against Sunderland F.C. and went on to score the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.[11] This was his third goal of the season having scored against Shamrock Rovers and Rubin Kazan in the Europa League earlier in the season.

International career

In 2003, Pavlyuchenko was first called into the Russian national team and since 2005 has been consistently earning caps at the national level.

Euro 2008

Roman Pavlyuchenko was in the spotlight when he scored both goals in Russia's 2–1 victory in a crucial Euro 2008 qualification match against England.[12] He was named in Guus Hiddink's 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2008.[13]

He scored a late consolation goal in Russia's loss to Spain in their opening match of the campaign and the first goal in Russia's third match of the tournament against Sweden to send Russia through at Sweden's expense.[14][15] He was declared man of the match after the 1–0 game with Greece,[16] although he did not score in the game, and then scored the first goal of the match in Russia's 3–1 quarter final victory over the Netherlands.[17] After the tournament ended, he was named in the 23-man Team of the Tournament.[18]

Euro 2012 qualification

Pavlyuchenko scored his first international hat-trick on 4 June 2011 in a match against Armenia.
