- 2005 and 2009.
- Nurbol ZHUMASKALIEV (11.05.1981, Uralsk).
- Although FC Tobol was silver medalist in the 2005 season, Zhuma, as his teammates affectionately call him, was the best. He scored 14 goals, which is exactly half of the championship matches played. And a goal against the reigning European champions, the Greek national team, made him the number one candidate for the title of Best Footballer of the Season.
- The 2008 season was to Zhumaskaliev’s advantage; his stable play in attack could not outweigh Smakov’s impressive season. And the next season he continued his offensive momentum. He scored the fastest goal in European competition against Galatasaray.
