[wzslider autoplay=”true”]The generation that brought the first trophy to maroon team in the history of the season 1966/67, played the final Cup of Marshal Tito, played with the famous Manchester United in the Champions League back then. Their great performances inspired fans to sing: “Two Boskos’ at two corners, Musemija in the middle do not worry for winning.”
Jersey of FC Sarajevo were wearing following players: Ibrahim Sirco, Mirsad Fazlagic, Fuad Muzurovic, Sead Jasenkovic, Milenko Bajic, Fahrudin Prljaca, Bosko Prodanovic, Sreten Siljkut, Vahidin Musemic, Stjepan Blazevic, Bosko Antic, Dragan Vujanovic, Boro Beatovic, Anton Mandic, Sreten Dilberovic, Osman Maglajlija, Miodrag Makic, Asim Ferhatovic, Svetozar Vujovic and Refik Muftic.
In that season, the team from Kosevo qualified for the finals of the Cup of Marshal Tito. The finals for the first time was played outside Belgrade – it was played in Split.
Fazlagic discovered why this generation is to be remembered and why maroon team was so successful. He was the captain of the national team at the time.
“Team from Kosevo was giving 8 players to the national teams. It says a lot about the strength of the team. It has the captain of Yugoslavia, which was the youngest in the history of the national team. That generation had two players who were among the best in 50 years of sports daily ‘Sport’ in Belgrade. Dragan Dzajic was the first, I was at the second place, while Svetozar Vujovic was on the third place. Indeed, it shows the quality of FC Sarajevo back then. Players who were born between 1941 and 1944 were playing back then. Six or seven of them started their career in a young team of Sarajevo. We were led by Asim Ferhatovic Hase who was a great man. He was helping us. We all respected him for love and relationship with us. He did not like shouting at young players, he was giving us a great support,” concluded Fazlagic.
Football was played to do make some difference, to talk about it. This glorious generation of maroon team is worth of attention and deserves ‘thumbs up’. This generation will be remembered as the most successful one, at least until further notice. They were winning in great style.
