Club

He started playing with FK Krofma Strumica before being brought by Serbian giants FK Partizan in 1983. He stayed in Belgrade with Partizan until 1986 however he made no league appearance and spent most time as reserve goalkeeper. During the winter-break of the 1985–86 season, he, along two other Partizan players, Slobodan Krčmarević and Ljubiša Milačić, joined FK Bor, playing in the Yugoslav Second League.[2] But at the end of the season, he left Bor and joined FK Pobeda.[3] Between 1987 and 1989 he spent two seasons playing with another Serbian club, OFK Kikinda. In 1990, he returned to Macedonia and joined FK Skopje playing at that time in the Yugoslav third level. In 1992, he moved to Switzerland and played 3 seasons with FC Winterthur until summer 1995. He then returned to Macedonia, which by then had become independent, and played with FK Sloga Jugomagnat[4] in the Macedonian First League. In 1998, he joined FC Anzhi Makhachkala and played the following two seasons in the Russian First Division. In the seasons 2000 and 2001 besides being registered in the squad, he became also the teams goalkeeping coach.[5] He finished his playing career because of a serious clash[6] that provoked him a knee injury.[7]

gollark: PotatOS actually has its own very hacky `require` implementation because of some problem or other I forgot.
gollark: Indeed it does.
gollark: Weirdly, `"0"/"0"` seemingly results in them being converted to numbers instead of going through potatOS's string divison handling.
gollark: Apparently not, since `debug.setmetatable` won't let me override division.
gollark: I should see if I can make it produce a more fun result in potatOS.
