Serhiy Stanislavovych Rebrov (Ukrainian: Сергій Ребров, born on March 6, 1974 in Horlivka, Donetsk region) is a Ukrainian football forward turned midfielder, member of the Ukrainian national team, which he helped qualify for the 2006 World Cup, the nation's first ever World Cup. Rebrov gained international fame as an attacking partner of Andriy Shevchenko at Dynamo Kyiv throughout the 1990s and is known for his technical ability as well as his finishing. Rebrov is currently in his new club Rubin Kazan having also previously played for Dynamo Kyiv, Shakhtar Donetsk, Tottenham Hotspur, Fenerbahçe and West Ham United.

Rebrov joined Shakhtar Donetsk as a youth in 1990. In his debut 1991 season, then a 17-year old, he scored 2 goals in 7 games in the USSR Premier League. In his second season, playing in the newly established Ukrainian Premier League, he became a joint 3rd goalscorer, catching the eye of Dynamo Kyiv scouts. Rebrov moved to Dynamo Kyiv in August 1992 and has since become the highest all-time scorer in the Ukrainian Premier League. As of April 3, 2007, his total tally in the league with Shakhtar and Dynamo was 120 goals in 249 games.

He scored several key goals in European competitions, notably in the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons of the UEFA Champions League, including a famous goal against Barcelona from a tight angle. Dynamo reached the Champions League semi-final in 1999 but lost to Bayern Munich on aggregate. In the 1999-00 season Rebrov became a joint top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 10 goals (including 2 goals in qualification games) as Dynamo progressed to the last sixteen before going out on head-to-head record against Real Madrid. As of September 14, 2006 Rebrov remained a joint 13th all-time scorer in the history of the Champions League/European Cup with 30 goals.

In June 2000 he was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for £11 million,but after the sacking of George Graham in March 2001, he was frozen out by new manager Glenn Hoddle as he wasn't producing the goods really 10 goals in 60 games! He made excuse after excuse but to put it simple he was crap, regardless of how many goals hes scored in europe he can only do that in his home country. He went out on two consecutive loan spells to Fenerbahçe and subsequently signed a one year contract with West Ham United where he scored a single goal in 29 appearances.... not that great for a supposed "great of Europe".

On June 1, 2005, Rebrov became a free agent after declining to re-sign and two days later he signed a new two-year contract with Dynamo Kyiv, with the option of a one year extension. In the new 2005-06 season, Rebrov became Dynamo's top scorer with 13 goals, two behind league joint top scorers Brandão and Okoduwa, despite playing in midfield. Rebrov also topped the league in points (goals plus assists) and was named player of the season according to a poll of team coaches and captains.

In July 2007 Rebrov became Dynamo captain. In the 2007-08 season he was getting less playing time, starting only 7 out of 18 matches before the winter break. His contribution in some games was heavily criticised by the press. It was reported that Rebrov could move to Arsenal Kyiv during the transfer window. However, under new coach Yuri Semin Rebrov started all games and was named best player at the close season Channel One Cup. In February 2008 Dynamo president Ihor Surkis stated that the club was planning talks with Rebrov with a view of extending his contract. Shortly thereafter Rebrov received an offer of a two-year contract from Russian Premier League club Rubin Kazan. On March 3, 2008 Dynamo announced that Rebrov had signed a two-year contract with Rubin and would join the new club at the end of the season, in summer 2008. With the Russian season starting in spring, Rubin eventually agreed a $1 million compensation with Dynamo for Rebrov's early release from his contract.

National team career

Rebrov's club exploits earned him a recall to the national team and a ticket to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, where he scored a long range shot against Saudi Arabia as Ukraine progressed to the quarterfinals before going down to Italy.
