He made his professional debut in the Soviet Top League in 1988 for FC Torpedo Moscow.[1]
He retired relatively young after he was unable to fully recover from a serious injury he suffered in a Russian Cup 1993–94 game against FC Viktor-Avangard Kolomna. The injury was inflicted by Sergei Bodak (Bodak was originally banned from football for life for that foul, but the ban was lifted after one year).
Tishkov was stabbed to death on 11 January 2003, in Moscow, where his body was found outside his home. He was working as player agent at the time, and it was speculated that his murder was linked to a contract dispute with one of his clients. Despite widespread publicity and pleas for information, Tishkov's murder remains unsolved.[2]
Tishkov was buried at the Danilovsky Cemetery in Moscow.[3]
