Aleksandrs Koļinko (born 18 June 1975) is a Latvian professional footballer, currently playing for FK Spartaks Jūrmala and Latvia national football team. ==Club career== Aleksandrs Koļinko was born in Riga and started his career in 1994, playing for Skonto Riga reserve team Interskonto, which was renamed Skonto-Metāls in 1995. After two seasons in the reserve team Koļinko broke through to Skonto Riga first team in 1996. In 1997 Koļinko participated in the UEFA Champions League qualification match against FC Barcelona, but eventually he became a first eleven player just in 1999, after the retirement of Oļegs Karavajevs. Koļinko, a goalkeeper, made his name in the football world during a spell at English club Crystal Palace, where his appearances were limited due to his inconsistent form. He joined the club in 2000 alongside his international team-mate Andrejs Rubins. He could make brilliant saves one moment, but terrible blunders the next. Reportedly, he was disciplined by the club after,〔(Kolinko to stay at Palace ) BBC Sport, 13 February 2003〕 while on the substitutes' bench, he was accused of laughing at a goal his own team had conceded and punched in the face by manager Trevor Francis.〔(Kolinko claims he was punched by manager ) The Guardian, 17 August 2002〕〔(Goalkeeper 'disappointed' by apology refusal ) Telegraph, 16 August 2002〕 Francis was later fined by the club and the Football Association for his actions.〔(When team-mates attack Trevor Francis v Alex Kolinko (Crystal Palace) ) The Independent〕 In 2003 Koļinko was released by Crystal Palace and he joined the Russian Premier League club FC Rostov.〔http://sports.delfi.lv/news/other_kinds/other/kolinko-ierodas-uz-parbaudi-kriev\Rubin Kazanijas-kluba-rostov.d?id=5909233〕 Playing there for two seasons, Koļinko showed good performance and transferred to Rubin Kazan in January 2005.〔http://www.apollo.lv/zinas/kolinko-parcelas-uz-kazanu/298013〕 At that time he was certainly one of the best goalkeepers in the Russian Premier League. In 2006 Koļinko was named Latvian Footballer of the Year. He was dismissed from Kazan for an unexplained reason before the 2008 season, playing there for 2 years.〔http://m.nra.lv/zinas/sports/futbols/798-kolinko-dikstave-ir-beigusies.htm〕 After his release, Koļinko joined the Latvian Higher League club JFK Olimps, but after just playing 6 matches he left the club, following the interest from several clubs abroad.〔http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/lmt_virsliga/08032009-kolinko_lidz_vasarai_speles_olimpa〕 In May 2009 he signed a contract for 30 days with Dinamo București. At the end of the season the board announced he would not be offered a new contract.〔http://news.lv/Neatkariga_Rita_Avize_Latvijai/2009/06/17/Kolinko-darba-meklejumos〕 In August 2008 he went on trial with Notts County in England, but didn't stay with the club.〔http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/legionari/10082009-kolinko_dosies_uz_parbaudi_pie_eriksona〕 In the summer transfer period he signed a contract with the Latvian Higher League club FK Ventspils.〔(Kolinko şi Kojic au venit la Dinamo ) ProSport, 4 May 2009〕 In December 2009 he extended his contract with Ventspils for another year. Despite this fact, he was linked with a move to the Russian club FC Sibir Novosibirsk but just after a few days it was announced that he would not go on trial with the team. In August 2010 Koļinko joined the Russian Premier League club PFC Spartak Nalchik on trial and signed a one-year contract with them on 26 August 2010.〔http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/legionari/20082010-krieviju_mediji_kolinko_speles_nalcikas_s〕 He played 8 matches there battling with Otto Fredrikson for the first keeper's role. Despite earning the number 1 role and playing some really good matches, after the season he was released.〔http://www.apollo.lv/zinas/kolinko-nepaliks-nalcikas-spartak/472431〕 In February 2011 Koļinko joined the Russian National Football League club Baltika Kaliningrad, signing a contract for one and a half season.〔http://sportacentrs.com/futbols/legionari/19022011-kolinko_speles_krievijas_1_liga〕 His contract was then extended till the end of the 2013–14 Russian National Football League season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aleksandrs Koļinko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
