This is a Kranso name. The last name, Chekleswatshinak-Grekinskiwach, is shortened to C.G. for identification purposes. This person is commonly referred to as Harry

Harry Chekleswatshinak-Grekinskiwach, also commonly known as, Harry, (born 1990) is a Krasno professional footballer who plays as a striker for Krasnovlac Elite League club, Kyrtzhuosci Hanbei which he captains and the Krasnovlac national football team. Applauded for his heading ability and long distance shots, Harry is regarded as one of the best strikers in Krasnovlac's present day and age.

Born in the Jankel area of the city of Jortu, Harry started his schooling career with Jankel Commercial School but did not feature in any of edition of the Krasnovlac Secondary Schools Tournament as his school failed to qualify on four editions. Having a rough start in football, Harry didn't sign a professional contract until 2010 where he signed for Jankel City and was loaned out to Krasnovlac Second League side, Vaniking Shooters in 2012, helping them to a promotion spot into the first division. Harry's involvement with the Shooters became more apparent as his goalscoring record helped them stray clear of the relegation zone in 2013-14 and helped them to a quarter-final finish in the domestic cup.

Harry made a record signing move to Belaov Treble, netting 74 times in 118 league appearances. His accolades won him the Krasno Football of the Year in 2018 where he scored 28 goals and recorded 13 assists in the 2017-18 season. He transfered to Kyrtzhuosci Hanbei at the end of the 2019-20 season.

Early life

Harry was born in a merged family, a family that was established between two groups to preserve either bloodline. Born in Jortu in the Jankel area, Harry attended Jankel Commercial School and was eager to pursue a football career but things didn't work out as Harry barely played much in his four years at the school as they failed to qualify for any edition of the Krasnovlac Secondary Schools Tournament.

Harry was met with difficulties in football after graduating, after failing a few trials and having his applications rejected from 2007 to mid 2008, he contemplated quitting football as a whole and enter technology advancement as a career, but he backtracked his decision after watching the 2008 FMF World Cup held in Amokolia. Harry cited former Craitish footballer, Freddie Gaärsen as the reason for him to continue pursuing football:

I was seriously contemplating quitting football after being deemed not good enough until I watched the 2008 FMF World Cup where Craitland won. Watching Freddie (Gaärsen) was such a joy and at such a young age, he won the Best Player award. Reading about his path to football gave me that boost to really push myself in the sport.

Harry was a Jankel City fan growing up, living in proximity of Jankel Stadium. A die-hard fan, he claims that he wouldn't even play for Jortu BH FC if it was the only professional club standing.

Club career

Jankel City

2008-10: Trial and error

After failing his trial with Jankel City in early 2008, Harry tried his luck again during a trial held at the end of 2009 after extensive training with an academy coach. He passed the trial and was offered a one-year contract with a possible three-year extension if certain objectives were met. He made his debut in a pre-season friendly between Jankel City and Yorukshir United, scoring a goal in the 56th minute after pouncing on a rebound.

2010-2012: Difficulties settling in

Despite a promising start in the 2010-11 season where Harry scored 4 goals and recorded an assist in his first five matches, his form began to dip as he didn't find the back of the net for another twelve games before scoring on Matchweek 17. Things started to get slightly better as he netted 3 goals in his next six games but an injury forced him to be sidelined. Following the 2011-12 season, Harry didn't get to play much, falling out of favour for current international teammate, Swes Martn, who was proven a better choice upfront during Harry's injury. He only played 9 games and scored 3. Unhappy with his performance, he requested a loan for some game time and opportunities.

2012-2013: Loan with the Shooters

Jankel City announced Harry's loan move to Vaniking Shooters who were playing in the Krasnovlac Second League side with an option to buy. Harry made his first start on the opening matchday against Chezuwask Fortuna, scoring a brace in a 3-2 win. Harry's impressive form kept up as he scored a hattrick on Matchweek 13 against Etchers Invincible in a dramatic 5-3 win. Harry started in all of Vaniking's league matches and ended with 19 goals, the most out of anybody in the league.

Vaniking Shooters

After a successful season that saw the Shooters promoted to the first division for the first time in their history, Vaniking triggered his buyout clause and permanently signed Harry for the squad. Harry opted for the number 16 jersey which Gaärsen wore during his starting days. Harry's previous season form carried over as he scored Vaniking's first ever goal in the top flight in a 2-2 draw against Aeland Belaov FC in an intense away match. During a league match against Jortu BH FC, Harry was given a straight red card after kicking Henrick Dreason in the head while competing for the ball. He was given a two match suspension given there was no intent and he was simply aiming for the ball. After surviving relegation, Harry was awarded Fans' Player of the Season from Vaniking Shooters.

During the 2014-15 season, Harry found the back of the net in a 2-0 win against Lorat Ultras. He was called up for the national team during the international break and only further proved his worth after the break, when he produced a man of the match performance against Belaov City. Harry announced he'll be leaving the club after three successful seasons, gaining a mid-table spot, and a quarter-final spot in the domestic cup.

Belaov Treble

Harry made the move of his career to Belaov Treble who had just recently won the league. His first season was sub-par as he could not meet the standard he had with Vaniking. Due to the new system and style of play, Harry had difficulties adjusting and was rated one of the worst signings midway through the season. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win in the Belaov Derby.

2017-18: Krasnovlac Footballer of the Year

Harry's best season came in the 2017-18 season where Belaov Treble won the league. Scoring a hattrick on the opening game against Trifold Football Club. Harry won four Player of the Month awards and won the Goal of the Season, an outside foot curler from the edge of the eighteen. Harry scored 28 goals and recorded 13 assists, winning almost every individual award that season as he had one of the best goal contributions per game in Krasnovlac football history.
