Roman Shishkin (Russian: Роман Александрович Шишкин) (born 27 January 1987 in Voronezh) is a Russian football defender, who currently plays for FC Spartak Moscow in Russian Premier League, and the Russia national U21 team.
Born in Voronezh, Shishkin graduated from local football school and at age of 15 secured his first professional contract with FC Fakel. After some time with Fakel he moved to Spartak Moscow. He made his professional debut for Spartak in 2004 when Nevio Scala started using a lot of young players, however later when team signed new players such as Nemanja Vidić and Clemente Rodríguez, Roman lost chances to play for the first team. After playing for some time for Spartak reserves team he decided to leave, but Vladimir Fedotov, who at this time was club's sporting manager, convinced him to stay[1]. In 2006 when Fedotov was appointed as a manager, Shishkin became a first team regular after Egor Titov's injury. Fedotov moved Radoslav Kováč to the midfield, Martin Jiránek took Kováč's place in the center of defense, and Shishkin started playing as a right fullback. After a couple of matches Roman received numerous praises from press and specialists and consequently Guus Hiddink invited him to participate in the national team training sessions. When Titov recovered after his injury, Shishkin did not lose his first team status even though Spartak signed another defender, Géder.
On 12 September 2006 Shishkin made his European debut after he came in as a substitute in the UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
