To have a long memory has both good and bad side. It brings pleasure of some victory long after the success happened. But also makes you feel the bitter taste of any loss long after you’ve done what’s necessary to become stronger. And it’s not sure at all if that tenacious memory brings more advantages than pain. But obviously you just have it or not. There’s no escape. Only lasts the relief, that if you’re careful, you’ll remember the more important.
Like this, that Bulgaria still has basketball player, to be proud of. They may be not many at the moment, but may be they’re just enough…
 
One of them is 31 today – Todor Stoykov.
It seems that his destiny is to attract others’ attention. That often happens to him. No matter with what dress he wears – LukOil Academic’s or national team’s.
It could be for some right shot on the court, it could be for any missed shot, grabbed rebound or just while he sits at the bench, fans always look at him with a higher interest. Because already there’s no need to prove who he is and what he can. And because he started to show what more he can!
 
One is sure – at 31 Todor Stoykov is still stands ahead the rivalry.
May be because the inborn irreconcilability or because the strong belief, that we Bulgarians can compare with the big, Stoykov is still the unchanged leader of our men’s basketball. There’s no mean to list titles, cups, points, triples, games in ULEB Cup, European championship in Serbia and Montenegro… Everybody remember that.
But these who remember the face of the captain, while he grabs, that seemingly lost ball at the game LukOil- Cantu in one of the most tough moments of “The Students” in their history or while he holds the Bulgarian flag at the national team camp before Euro 2005, they know that Todor Stoykov deserves a sincere respect from the fans of the game basketball. 
And I remember too. And I know, that around everyone, there are people, who he’s happy to know more that others.
 
Toshko is one of these, that you should be proud, if you may call friend…
So simple – Happy Birthday, Toshko!
