Dragan Dzajic – A Legend Or A Thief?



Before the last game for national team (Belgrade, 1979)He had played before I was born and I missed the opportunity to watch Dzajic on football field. My impressions about his performance came from my father and grandfather’s stories. Because of the way they talked about him, I found that he was a great player.

For me, he is a man who had huge a part in FC Red Star win in European Championship Cup in 1991. To be a champion is a great achievement for any club, and for me, as a Red Star fan that was one of the greatest moments in my life. However, even at that time I did not have a high opinion about him as a person because he was too close to Milosevic’s regime.

If I must choose, my choice is that he is a thief. Everything that is legendary in his football career he decided to erase when he agreed to participate in, at least, suspicious money transactions. Any excuse about hard times in the 90’s is not good enough for me.

If he wanted to be remembered as a legend, he should have left position in 1991.
