Today’s randomly-chosen subject is one Branko Buljevic, a
sticker representing whom appeared in the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars
World Cup 1974’ album, which comparatively recently proved my introduction to
the name, & who was selected as a member of the Australia squad for the ’74
World Cup, where he subsequently appeared in all three of the so-called Socceroos’ first
phase group matches, at which point they exited the tournament.
In common with
a number of his squadmates, & as his name might suggest, Buljevic’s origins
lay outside Australia, having been born in Split, Croatia (then itself part of the
federal republic of Yugoslavia).
