Nikolov had solid speed and could send a good cross, even from free kicks near the corner. Born on June 24, 1957 in Pleven. One of the favorite players of supporters of Levski in the 80's, of the last century. Played for Spartak (Pleven) and Levski (in 387 games). Played in the ill-fated match between Levski and CSKA in 1985 after which he was punished and by that his transfer to Porto broke down. Champion of Bulgaria in 1979, 1984, 1985 and 1988, Cup winner in 1979, 1982, 1984 and 1991. Nikolov appeared in 55 matches for the national team. Footballer № 1 in Bulgaria in 1984.
