He is generally regarded as one of the best players to come out of Bulgaria and was a key member of the squad which reached the semi-finals of the 1994 World Cup Finals. Known to many as "The Magician", Letchkov was a gifted player who could play as a central midfielder or on the left side of midfield, he was easily recognizable for his baldness. Best known for his dribbling ability however, his career was often dictated by his moody nature and the numerous arguments and fall-outs with fellow players and managers."The Sun" included him among the top 10 bald footballers of ever, at the 4th place.
