Here he spent 111 games as an attacker and was a non-stop scorer of the northern team: he had 37 goals on his account. Head coach Tkachenko Leonid very much experimented with the game position of Petukhov.

It was on the position of the drawn front-line forward Alexander Petukhov felt excellent and scored goals. So he played a whole season and scored 7 goals, giving 6 assists.

For the next season, the tactics of the team changed slightly, but the central attacking midfielder of the team changed the playing role.

Alexander - a footballer not one of those who starts to resent and argue, he just understood the installation of the coach and continued to play as a playmaker. For this he was respected in the team and, jokingly, called the conductor. This is not a nickname or a nickname. In fact, this is a real football concept, the same as opornik, midfielder or goalkeeper. At one time, such players as Steven Gerrard, Fran Lampard, Wesley Snyder and many others were conductors.
