INFO:Milko Đurovski is famous Yugoslav player, and a player whose transfer from Red Star to Partizan was maybe the most sensational transfer in Yugoslav football history. His football qualities were unquestionable, but his behavior and lifestyle were always an issue. He was technically very gifted player, excellent dribbler, good free kick taker, but very lazy on the pitch. He could dribble two opponents and create an excellent position for shot, and then miss because a major loss of concentration. He was very static, he would run only with the ball in his feet, and almost never helped his defense, even not pressuring the opponent when very close to them. He could score some amazing goals, but also miss a sitter. In 1990 he was transferred from Partizan to Groningen where he gained a cult status. He helped them to reach 3rd place in Dutch League, best place in their history at the time. His career in the NT was short, he only played in 6 games for Yugoslavia, and 2 for Macedonia almost ten years later. Anyway, here are some quotes from him, definitely one of the most memorable faces ever to play football in former Yugoslavia:
Quote:
"My grandpa smoked his whole life. And he lived for 92 years. The only truth is that I smoked while I was a player. So what? I did it and I didn't hide it. Others smoked to, but nobody had the guts to smoke in front of the coach as I had. It didn't have negative influence on my performance. It could have, if I'd stop. Every football player has to do what he likes. As long he plays well".
Quote:
"Ice is created to put it in a whiskey, not on the knee like doctors are putting it"
Quote:
"My best performances came against the greatest clubs. I liked big games, in front of lot of fans, when the tension is high. On the other hand, when we played against RKC, there were only 1000 fans. It's just not right".
Quote:
"Red Star fans are still angry at me. When you say my name in front of them, they say - disaster. They spit on the floor. Everything I did for them, all the goals I scored, it doesn't matter anymore. I'll tell you something, if I was still a player, and there is chance to go from Red Star to Partizan, I'll do the same thing again. I never regret that. Simply, I didn't have good treatment in Red Star. They promised me a lot, and did very little. I just snapped. That's the reason I went to Partizan, maybe to make Red Star suffer".
Quote:
" I have never played for the money! Cristiano Ronaldo can have 300.000.000 euros on his bank account, but he can't sit in a coffee house like me and enjoy without being bothered by someone. I enjoy my freedom. That's my life".
