Boncho Lyubomirov Genchev, also known as Bontcho Guentchev ((ブルガリア語:Бончо Генчев); born 7 July 1964), is a Bulgarian retired professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He started in his home country in the lower leagues before moving to Lokomotiv Gorna and Etar. After one year in Portugal with Sporting, he went to England in 1992 and played in the Premier League with Ipswich Town and in the Football League for Luton Town. After a short spell in Bulgaria with CSKA Sofia, he played non-league football in England during eight years, for Hendon and Carshalton Athletic. Genchev appeared with Bulgaria at the 1994 World Cup and Euro 1996 tournaments. ==Club career== Born in General Toshevo, Dobrich Province, Genchev started playing with PFC Dobrudzha Dobrich, switching to PFC Litex Lovech in 1982 for another sole season. In the following year he established himself in the Bulgarian top flight, with FC Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa and F.C. Etar, where he played three 1/2 and four 1/2 years respectively. After 22 league goals for Etar in two seasons combined, 27-year-old Genchev moved abroad, signing with Sporting Clube de Portugal in the summer of 1991 alongside compatriot Ivaylo Yordanov, who previously had succeeded him at Lokomotiv GO. Unlike the forward, he had virtually no impact with the Lisbon side, leaving after one sole season and two league matches. Genchev revived his career in England, where he played for Ipswich Town and Luton Town, his three years with the ''Blues'' being spent in the Premier League (with relegation in the last one), where he netted a total of six times. In 1997, the veteran returned to his country, with PFC CSKA Sofia, winning the top scorer accolade in his debut campaign — although the club could only finish third – and the Bulgarian Cup in his second. After that, he returned, at nearly 35, to England, playing non-league football for Hendon FC and Carshalton Athletic, and retiring three years after. Four years later, Genchev came out of retirement and rejoined Hendon,〔(I’ll have a bag of chips and one of those World Cup stars please ); BBC, 25 September 2007〕 scoring his first goal in his second spell on 14 March 2007 against Hayes FC, in the Middlesex Senior Cup. He retired for good in the following year, later going on to work for Ipswich as an international ambassador.〔(GUENTCHEV, Bontcho ); Where Are They Now〕 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「Boncho Genchev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
