Vladimir Brukhti was a defender by birth. The Moscow-based book Who's Who says of him: "A strong, physically fit defender who excels in individual play and plays well with his head." He was sometimes likened to a warrior in physical appearance. This was not without reason. Before coming to football, Bruchti was a professional boxer and even won the title of Republican champion. The arrival of the number one sport was a coincidence.

Shirali Shiraliyev, who discovered talented children in Baku, also brought the big Volodya to football. Thus, Bruchti began to master the secrets of football in his group. Distinguished among his peers, Volodya soon attracted the attention of experts. He was involved in the replacement staff of our team in 1961. A year later, Boris Arkadyev, then head of Neftyanik, began to allow him to train with skilled players. Volodya gained invaluable experience in trainings with key players. With the arrival of Alakbar Mammadov as head coach in 1963, Brukhti made his debut for Neftyanik and was successful. Brukhti played without replacing Neftyanik, which beat Lokomotiv 4: 2 in Moscow. Volodya, who defended the honor of "Neftyanik" from 1963, was an irreplaceable defender of the team until 1972. He scored 2 goals in 257 games during these years. Bruchti also played an important role in the legendary "bronze" team of 1966. It was his reliable play in defense that played a big role in the team's bronze medal. Volodya, who spent the following year in high spirits, was included in the "33 best" players, along with Kazbek Tuayev and Anatoly Banishevsky.

In 1966, Volodya played well in the youth tournament named after FIFA President Stanley Rose in England. Therefore, he was soon involved in the youth team of the USSR. His confident play in defense soon resulted in his being called up to the USSR national team. Along with the national team, Bruchti also took part in a training camp in Yugoslavia. However, he could not make his debut in the national team. Volodya, who received the news of his mother's death while in Yugoslavia, returned to Baku immediately. The coaches of the national team did not forgive him and did not invite him to the national team again.

Bruchti was forced to end his football career at the age of 27. The reason for this was a serious injury in one of the games. At that time, sports health was not well developed, and no cure was found for the defender's injury. After that, Bruchti, who could not stay away from football, began to try himself as a coach. After working in some teams playing in the republican championship, in 1980 he was appointed head coach of Nakhchivan "Araz". Brukhti, who was not well coached in Azerbaijan, went to Turkmenistan and coached the local club Besdik for two years. After leaving Turkmenistan, the veteran, who lost his job, once again became the owner of his hometown - "Neftchi". Vladimir Petrovich worked at the children's football school of our team in 1983-92. During this period, Brukhti gave Azerbaijani football many talented players. The specialist, who decided to live the life of a legionnaire again in 1992, did not ignore the offer of Poltava "Vorskla". Under his leadership, Vorskla won the first group of the Ukrainian championship and qualified for the group of the Strong. The following season, Vorskla, led by Brukhti, finished third among 18 teams. Krivbass, who was having a hard time in the group of the strong, saw his salvation in inviting our compatriot. Under his leadership, Krivoy-Rog finished the season in 6th place. However, Brukhti, who could not live apart from his homeland, returned to his homeland - Azerbaijan. Until the end of his life, the veteran lived in Baku and worked at the team's children's football school, remaining loyal to Neftchi until his last days.
