Igor's brother Lev Netto (1925–2017), who spoke Estonian and was named after Lev Trotsky, was a Soviet prisoner for eight years in Norilsk Gulag.
as was also Aleksander's brother Sergei.
He was known as goose for his hissing voice, as well as goose-like walk and head shape.
Igor Aleksandrovich Netto (Игорь Александрович Нетто; 9 January 1930 – 30 March 1999) was a Russian footballer, considered one of the greatest Soviet players ever.
He started out playing on the left of defense but, due to his offensive mentality, dribbling and technical abilities turned into a dynamic central midfielder.
His versatility and footballing intelligence allowed him to play a number of positions across defense and midfield.
During the 1930s and Stalin's Great Purge, the family did not dare to speak Estonian, and Igor learned only Russian.
Besides football, Netto played 22 games in the 1948–49 and 1950–51 seasons as an ice hockey forward for Spartak, but stopped playing to avoid the risk of an injury affecting his football career.
During his club career he played for FC Spartak Moscow from 1949 until 1966, scoring 37 goals in 367 league games, winning five Soviet championships and three cups.
He was the captain of the USSR national football team from 1952 to 1965.
He led the country to the gold medal in the 1956 Summer Olympics, and victory at the first ever European Championship in 1960.
He was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1957.
The stadium of Spartak Moscow reserves team is named after him.
He missed all but one match in the 1958 FIFA World Cup due to injury, and also played all four matches in the 1962 FIFA World Cup when the Soviet Union reached the quarterfinals.
In total he collected 54 international caps and four goals.
During the 1962 FIFA World Cup match against Uruguay, with the score at 1–1, Igor Chislenko managed to strike through the net, and the resulting goal was mistakenly counted by the referee who had not seen the ball trajectory.
Hearing protests from the Uruguayan keeper, Netto confirmed with Chislenko that the ball went through the net, and convinced the referee to discount the goal.
The USSR won the game 2-1.
After retiring in 1966, Netto began a career as a coach, training AC Omonia, FC Shinnik Yaroslavl, Iran, Panionios and Neftchi Baku.
