Amir Karić, FC Koper 2009/2010 - Slovenia Champions

Because in the last few days or better to say weeks i didn't post a lot i post today two new post with shirts of two very important Slovenian football players. First post today was the Korea shirt of Zlatko Zahovič. The shirts in this post is the shirt of another member of the 'zlata generacija - gold generation' team. Amir Karić. In my opinion of of the best and most important players of that era. Good in both role - in defense and in his offensive role of assist man from the left side of the pitch. In the Slovenia national team he played 64 matches - yes, this is a big number - scored 1 goal. But this shirt is not from national team but from his last club - FC Koper. To be more precious from his 2009/2010 season in which he won the Slovenia national title with Koper. He was one of the most important players of Koper, played all the 36 matches from the starting 11! More about the statistic on my web page. This is a Lotto home long sleeve shirt.

Zlatko Zahovič, Slovenia National Team FIFA 2002



After a week or even more i come back to my blog to add a new post - but what a post! Here is the shirt of Zlatko Zahovič - the best Slovenia national team player in history - match worked during the match against Spain in the FIFA Worldcup 2002 played in Gwangju (South Korea) on 2.6.2002. That was the only match played by Zlatko. Srecko Katanec (Slovenian coach at the time) put him out of the match in the 63' for Milenko Acimovic. That thing cause the 'Šmarna gora' case. Zlatko goes back to Slovenia right after that match (we loose 2:1) and this was also the end of the 'Zlata generacija (gold generation)' players. After the Worldcup Katanec end with the Slovenia national team coaching and Zlatko comes back in the team. This shirt is unique and represent one of the best and at the same time most turbulent era in Slovenia football history. Is also the first shirt with the shape of the Triglav mountain on it. Uhlsport made a great job with the shirt.

Robert Koren, Slovenia National Team 2011

Robert Koren, the Captain of the team. This shirt is a match worn shirt from the match with Italy. Robert give it to me few days after the match. This shirt is from one of the best Slovenian player of all time. He scored a goal, the only one in the match against Algeria - one goal which signed the first Slovenian victory in any world cup match. That happened in Polokwane on 13 of June 2010. I was there in Peter Mokaba Stadium. Robert was one of the most important player in the FIFA 2010 qualifiers group matches  , as the captain he lead the squad to the final second place in group stage and then to the historic victory against the team of the great Russia. The second match in Maribor literally shocked all the visitors on the Ljudski vet stadium. In a positive way the home supporters and obviously negative the Russian fans. Two years after that match Slovenia team is not in a such position in his qualifiers group for the UEFA 2012 competition. In the last match in Maribor we need a victory against Serbia and hope that the result in other group matches would be good for our team. Robert will miss the last match because in Florence receive a yellow card - a second one. In various Slovenian sports news i read that the match in Florence with Italy was probably the last one for Robert. That 61 matches and 5 scored goals were enough for our team. Well  Robi, i hope to see you again in our - Slovenian colours, playing in the middle of the pitch in the way you know the best! Almost forgot; the shirt is signed!

Zlatko Dedić, Slovenia National Team 2010

On 11 August 2010 Ljubljana finally got a new, decent stadium - named Stožice stadium. Designed by Sadar Vuga architects studio the stadium with a capacity of aprox. 16.000 spectators (for football purposes) was opened on that day by Ljubljana mayor mr. Zoran Janković. After  short opening ceremony Slovenian national team played a friendly match with the Australian national team. This were for both teams the first match after FIFA 2010 world cup in South Africa. Slovenia won that match with a result of 2:0. What is important here is that Zlatko Dedić scored - with this beautiful shirt - the first official goal on the new Stožice stadium. Zlatko is quite habituated to this, to realize important goals; he score the first one in the 2010 qualification round against Poland - klik to see the shirt - and he also score the last but the more important goal in his career so far, the one against the great Russia team. The one that allows us to reach the world cup final stage in South Africa. Hope to see very soon some other important goal from him. This is a Nike short sleeve shirt without any patch. On the picture on the bottom of the page is Zlatko celebrating the goal. It's possible to see one particular of this shirt; It's seems that the numbers '1' and '4' on the back side of the shirt were not of the same color which it's noticeable also on the picture on the top of this text.


Alfred Jermaniš, Slovenia National Team 1996

Yesterday a NK Koper live legend - Alfred Jemaniš 'Švicko' call me on the phone and say that he had some shirts for me. In 5 minute we meet and i was literally shocked and very surprised at the same time what he prepare to me - a bag full of various match worned shirts. So let's start with them. The first shirt from the bag was this old and rare Slovenia national team shirt from the year 1996. It was worn on a match against Denmark played in Ljubljana on 1st of september. The match was valid for FIFA 1998 world cup qualification. Unfortionally we lost that match and 'Švicko' didn't played. Švicko played 28 matches for Slovenia national team and scored 1 goal. Unfortionally i didn't find any photo of him in this shirt. The one on the bottom of the page is from the same match this shirt is from. This is a Puma long sleeve home shirt.

Zlatko Zahovič, Slovenia National Team 2000

This Adidas shirt reminds me of one of the best matches i've ever seen (live) in my life - the match between Slovenia and Yugoslavia was played in Charleroi on EURO 2000 tournament. This was the first match in history for Slovenia on an final stage of EURO or FIFA World Cup. The match finished 3-3 after Slovenia leads for 3-0. Unfortionally this is not a shirt from that match (hope to find one soon, he he) but is a match worn shirt from the same year - i have to found from which game is it. Is a Adidas home long sleeve shirt with equipment tag. Shirt was worn by Zlatko Zahovic - with no doubt the best player Slovenia team have so far. Hope to watch a player like this soon in our national team.
