Aleksandr Vladimirovich Panov (Russian: Александр Владимирович Панов; born 21 September 1975) is a Russian former professional footballer who played as a striker. He spent most of his club career in Russia. At international level, he made 17 appearances scoring 4 goals for the Russia national team between 1999 and 2004.

Career

Panov was a lightweight and quick striker, nicknamed "Kolpino rocket" for his speed. Among his moments of glory are two goals in the 1999 final of the Russian Cup, when he helped Zenit to a victory, and a double against France at the Stade de France on 5 June 1999 in a 3–2 win.^[1]

After a season with the farm club of Zenit Saint Petersburg Panov debuted for the first team in 1994. Panov spent a year in Vologda and another one with Shanghai Baosteel team in Shanghai. In 1997 Panov returned to Zenit and become a first team regular, earning a national team call a year later.

In mid-2000, Panov transferred to AS Saint-Étienne but was seriously injured soon after that. He returned to Russia after failing to become a regular in Saint-Étienne or FC Lausanne-Sport (loan) and played for Dynamo Moscow, Dynamo Saint Petersburg, and Torpedo Moscow. In 2006, he returned to Zenit again and he retired after a last season at Torpedo Moscow in 2010.
