Vasiliy Kulkov, a former footballer who played for Benfica and FC Porto, died in the 1990s. The Russian, who died at 54, had been battling esophageal cancer for over a year.
Kulkov came to Portuguese football – Benfica – in 1991, with Yuran, another Russian. He also shared the field with Russian Aleksandr Mostovoi.
We are all very saddened to hear about Kulkov’s passing.
We would like to offer our condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time. #Out of many, one pic.twitter.com/B0RGW8DFfb

In 1994, however, he moved to FC Porto where he only ended up playing one season before returning to Russia and Spartak Moscow.
Our thoughts are with Vasily Kulkov’s family and friends. For us, he will always be remembered as one of the workers of the first Penta championship. Rest in peace, champion ????#FCPorto pic.twitter.com/dl5kzpo7oF
