Only 3 years later, he became the youngest captain in the history of the Red Star Belgrade club. A crazy striker, he was both excellent at finishing and creating actions.

A fast, technical and incredibly good winger in dribbling, he is one of the best in history in the exercise. With a magical left foot, he quickly became considered one of the best players in the world. He also had a signature move, scoring directly from a corner.

Capable of scoring from any angle, he was one of the best free-kick takers in history. With 5 Yugoslav championships and 4 Yugoslav Cups, he is considered the best player in the history of this now-defunct nation.

He also had a long international career for Yugoslavia, playing a total of 85 matches in 15 years and scoring 23 goals, he is also the selection record for a Yugoslav player. Having participated in 2 Euros, he reached the final in 1968 and lost in the final.

He won the Mitropa Cup, the Yugoslav Championship, the Yugoslav Cup, was a finalist in the Euro, was in the Euro team of the year and was the top scorer, a stratospheric year for the winger.
