From Kazakhstan Encyclopedia
Template:Infobox football biography Template:Eastern Slavic name Nadezhda Timofeevna Bosikova (Template:Lang-rus; born 17 June 1972) is a Russian football coach and former player. As a forward, she played for Energiya Voronezh since the Russian Championship's inaugural edition in 1992[1] and was affectionately nicknamed "Barefoot" (Template:Lang-rus) at the club.[2] She was the championship's top scorer in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2000 with 31, 37, 39, 21, 19 and 30 goals respectively.[3] Bosikova's playing career was interrupted by the birth of her son Matthew (Template:Lang-rus). She remained loyal to Energiya in 2004 when a player exodus left her as the only name on the club's roster.[4]
Bosikova represented the Russia women's national football team, scoring 18 goals in her 28 caps.[5] She scored in Russia's play-off victory over Finland in qualifying for the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, but was not included in the squad for the final tournament.[6] She also participated in qualifying for the 2003 edition,[7] but missed the final tournament again.
