Andriy Andriyovych Biba is a retired Ukrainian football player and coach.

Honours

Biba is acknowledged as one of the greatest attacking midfielders Eastern Europe has ever produced. As Guardian journalist Jonathan Wilson explains, he functioned as 'Bobby Charlton did in Alf Ramsey's England side' as an advanced attacking midfielder moving the ball around the attacking third with a howitzer shot. He enjoyed a starring role in the Dynamo Kiev team of Victor Maslov.

International career

Biba played his only game for the USSR on 4 July 1965 in a friendly against Brazil starring Pelé.
