Viktor Yegorovich Zubarev (Russian: Виктор Егорович Зубарев) (10 April 1973 - 18 October 2004) was a football forward from Kazakhstan. He was nicknamed Uncle Stepan (дядя Стёпа).[1]
He played for Batyr, Irtysh and Esil Bogatyr in his native country, for Arsenal Tula and Lokomotiv Nizhny Novgorod in Russia, and for Apollon Limassol in Cyprus.
Zubarev was called up by coach Serik Berdalin to represent the national team in a match against Pakistan for the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
