Andrei Kanchelskis, a Ukrainian football player, made a bizarre transfer from Manchester United to Everton in the mid-1990s. Despite being an integral part of United's success, Kanchelskis wanted to leave the club. Manchester United initially hesitated to let him go, but eventually agreed to the transfer. The deal was complicated by the winger's agent, a contractual clause and the involvement of Kanchelskis's former club, Shaktar Donetsk. The transfer took a darker turn when the president of Shaktar and five bodyguards were killed in a bomb attack. Kanchelskis had a successful stint at Everton, scoring important goals, but eventually moved on to other clubs before retiring from professional football.
