Slobodan Rubežić


Recommended Posts


Think it was clear early on when he arrived that he looked like he had many of the aspects needed to be decent but had a rough edge that needed removed and will cost us until it is (like midweek) but I think there are signs he could be really useful with the right people alongside him. 

He needs pace alongside him though, and needs to learn not to do last ditch tackles but to escort if he can't match someone else's pace.

That said, he was solid today, apart from his one mad rush out to tackle on the edge of the box. 

Does feel like Gartenmann, Rubezic, Jensen is going to be a solid back three though assuming he does keep progressing (which imo he has)

I think he's the fastest out the 3.

That's superb getting called up 

Decent national team too!

Amazing having all these internationals 

Always remember how exciting it was back in the day, seeking out Bulgaria games to watch Kiriakov!

Strangely, though, Kiriakov won the last of his caps before he signed for Aberdeen.

Haha aye but I'm sure he played in a world cup before signing for us?

Wouldn't have been 94, would it?

Or maybe it was after he agreed to sign for us and was it he played in a game against Gascoigne and marked him out the game?

Definitely one of those 2!

Aye was the '94 WC he played in, was Bulgaria's stand out player in their run to the semi-final.

Think we got him as he was turning 30....that and his chain smoking probably caught up with him so we never saw the best of him (to put it mildly)

Tsvetanov his mate also a Bulgarian international. Honkingly bad player, even more honkingly bad hairstyle

He fingered the other Bulgarian player in the ass for some bizarre reason.

Yup we signed him and Tsvetanov after Bulgarias exploits at the work cup. 

I think the main reason was Rangers played Famagusta in Europe the season before, with Gascoigne in his prime. They put Kiriakov on man-marking role and Gazza never got a kick of the ball, he was exceptional.

I see Millertime beat me to it. I should read fully before I post.
