– Arkady Ivanovich saw me, somewhere he liked me. He was the head coach of the Dynamo Moscow national team. There were training camps in Moscow, we lived there at the Dynamo stadium. There was a canteen and a hairdresser nearby. I was walking from the dining room to the hairdresser, Arkady Ivanovich comes down and asks me if I want to play for Dynamo Moscow. I said yes, to which he replied: “Wait for an invitation, go get a haircut, we don’t hire uncut people at Dynamo”, Stein shared his memories with the Championship.
