EDNOTE. NABOKV-L thanks Aleksandr Svirilin for this fascinating item. Translation and contents at bottom. I might add that a recent study of GLORY focuses on VN and sports. See David Larmour's "Getting one past the goalkeeper: sports and games in GLORY," pp. -59-73 in _Discourse and Ideology in Naokov's Prose_ . Ed. David H. J. Larmour.

Дорогой Дон,
Высылаю статью из московского еженедельника "Футбол", No 46, 1999. Малоизученная тема "Набоков и футбол" представляется мне крайне интересной. ВН играл вратарем до 37 лет и до конца жизни следил за футбольными телевизионными трансляциями.
А.С.

EDITOR'S TRANSLATION OF ABOVE COVER NOTE FROM ALEKSANDR SVIRILIN. "I am sending an article from the Moscow weekly FUTBOL (American "soccer"--dbj), #46, 1999. The little studied topic "Nabokov and Soccer" is extremely interesting. VN played as a goalkeeper util he was 37 and followed soccer on TV until the end of his life."
------------------
The attached files include the copies of related documents:1) the magazine article text 2) a document with the signed names of the Tenishchev School team 3) a letter signed by team members protesting the use of a "ringer" by an opposing team.
