Segei Rebrov and Andrei Shevchenko first shot to fame at Dynamo Kiev in the mid 1990s as they plundered goals at will for the Russian champions.

Shevchenko became one of the most feared strikers in Europe when he sealed a move to AC Milan in 1999 after scoring more than 100 goals for Kiev.

He will be forever remembered by the Milanese for his 2003 season which saw him score 24 goals in 30 'serie A' matches as well as netting the decisive penalty to lift the European Cup against Juventus at OId Trafford.

Rebrov is now playing his football at West Ham after his celebrated £11m move to Tottenham went sour. But he is still among the top 20 scorers in Champions League history with 19 goals for Kiev.

His had a scoring record of 16 goals in 75 appearances with Tottenham and has scored 16 goals in 52 games for Ukraine.

Behind the star names is a young, skillful and experimental side that manager Oleg Blokhin believes will become a force in world football in years to come.

The squad include seven names from Dnipro, regarded as Ukraine's third team, as well as six from FC Dynamo Kyiv and two players from FC Shakhtar Donetsk.
