One of the most complete Bulgarian footballers, something like modern version of Stefan Bozhkov and my favourite Bulgarian footballer. It has been said that Zhelyzkov was so good so that new position for him should be invented. He was strong player with excellent technique and vision, two footed player with good shot and pass, and his heading abilities were battered only by Gundy among the all Bulgarians.
