Ballon d'Or runner-up: 91

Highs:
Two Champion's Cup peaks, first with Red Star then with Milan. His performance in the 94 final against Barcelona's Dream Team was certainly one to remember, including an assist and a fantastic lob that ended in the back of the net.

Lows:
At Milan often suffered under gaffer Fabio Cappelo's strict defensive tactics, not being part of the starting 11 on a regular basis. The same difficult relationship was also shared with his national team coach Ivica Osim.
While he certainly relished and performed in the big matches, was sometimes accused of complacency in smaller fixtures.
His international career was somewhat hampered by the embargo from UEFA on Yugoslavia due to the civil war. Played in WC90 and WC98, but sparingly.
