Ivan Zaborovsky, former goalkeeper of the youth team Znamya Truda, recounted an incident in 2020 when he was struck by lightning during a game.

The cross saved me! It absorbed the lightning strike. There is a lot of metal at the stadium: goals, towers, fences. The guys were running around with rings and crosses. There were 50 people – so why did it hit me?
Today, Zaborovsky coaches children at the branch of the Moscow Spartak academy.
