Biography
Born in Kharkiv to a Jewish family,[1] Dubinski played right back and was a member of the Soviet Union national football team in the 1960s. In 1962, two years after the Soviets won the initial European Nations Cup, Dubinsky played in the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile. In the first game of the preliminary round, he was hospitalized with a broken leg caused by Yugoslavian Muhamed Mujic (Mujic was not penalised for the foul, but later suspended by his team). The injury caused sarcoma (a form of cancer), which eventually contributed to Dubinsky's death a number of years later.[2]
