Former Kyustendil player in Euro 2004 squad?

Maybe CTID can confirm this, being our resident Eastern European expert?

The Bulgarian squad for Euro 2004 was named today - it's in the Irish Times among other places - so I said I'd check my programme from and video of* the Kyustendil game to see if there were any familiar names. There's an I Stoyanov from Levski Sofia in the Bulgarian defence, and Ilian Stoyanov played right-back for Kyustendil in Belfield that day - are they the same??? I know some of that team were Bulgarian internationals, so it's not impossible.

No sign of Mihail Mihailov though!


* - Four years on and still an absolutely brilliant game well worth a watch! What was Kenfold on that day?!?!

Is this him?

Don't know - says he's Polish??

Signed for Levski in July 2001 though - Kyustendil were bought out after the 2000/01 Bulgarian Cup Final, so it seems to add up all right.

says he's Polish??

But it has Bulgarian international games listed!
