Roman Pavlyuchenko is a Russian footballer playing as a centre forward for Russian club FC Lokomotiv Moscow and for the Russian national team. In 2003, Pavlyuchenko was first called into the Russian national team and since 2005 has been consistently earning caps at the national level.

Roman Pavlyuchenko was in the spotlight when he scored both goals in Russia's 2–1 victory in a crucial Euro 2008 qualification match against England. He was named in Guus Hiddink's 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2008. He scored a late consolation goal in Russia's loss to Spain in their opening match of the campaign and the first goal in Russia's third match of the tournament against Sweden to send Russia through at Sweden's expense. He was declared man of the match after the 1–0 game with Greece, although he did not score in the game, and then scored the first goal of the match in Russia's 3–1 quarter final victory over the Netherlands. After the tournament ended, he was named in the 23-man Team of the Tournament. Pavlyuchenko scored his first international hat-trick on 4 June 2011 in a match against Armenia. He was confirmed for the finalized UEFA Euro 2012 squad on 25 May 2012. In their opening match against the Czech Republic on 8 June in Wroclaw, he came off the bench in the 73rd minute and set up his teammate Alan Dzagoev for Russia's third goal. Minutes later he scored Russia's fourth goal and Russia went on to win 4–1. Pavlyuchenko come on as a substitute with Poland (1-1) and Greece (0-1), where productive activities are not distinguished. As a result, the Russian national team lost to the Greeks could not leave the group and left the tournament.

In early 2012, Tottenham unilaterally invoked an option to extend Pavlyuchenko's contract until the end of next season. Reports claim that Pavlyuchenko had been involved in a training ground bust-up with Spurs coach Kevin Bond which led him to leave the club in the January transfer window. However this was later refuted by his agent. On the transfer deadline, Pavlyuchenko signed a deal with Lokomotiv Moscow for a fee of £8 million with Louis Saha as his replacement.

Following his move to Russia, Pavlyuchenko says if Tottenham did not let him sign for Lokomotiv Moscow, he would sit out the remaining 18 months of his contract and leave for nothing and also tell Russian newspaper Sports Express saying "I explained that if they did not let me go now, when match practice for the European Championship is particularly important, then I would not consider a transfer in the summer." On 3 March 2012, Pavlyuchenko made his debut in his first match back at Russia since 2008 against Kuban Krasnodar in a 2–0 win. On 24 March 2012, Pavlyuchenko scored his first goal in over four years in Russia in a 2-0 win over CSKA Moscow and provided an assist for Felipe Caicedo.
