June 18 ,1975 inRiga ,Latvia ) is a professional footballer currently playing for Rubin Kazan.Koļinko, a goalkeeper, made his name in the football world during a short spell at English club Crystal Palace, where his appearances were limited due to his inconsistent form. He could make brilliant saves one moment, but terrible blunders the next. Reportedly, he was dismissed from the team after, while in the substitutes' bench, laughed at a goal his own team had conceded. He has also played for Rostov.

9 July 1997 . He was the starting goalkeeper for Latvia at Euro 2004.References
