Who is Dragan Stojković?

Dragan Stojković, also known under the nickname Piksi is a Serbian former footballer.

Stojković was long time captain of the Yugoslavia national football team and Red Star Belgrade, and is considered one of the best players in the history of Yugoslavian and Serbian football. He starred for Yugoslavia at the 1990 FIFA World Cup and 1998 FIFA World Cup where he captained the team.

He is one of the five players to be awarded the title Star of the Red Star. He is widely considered to have never shown his true potential in Europe as injury prevented him from establishing himself at Marseille over the long term. Despite this, there is general consensus among critics that he displayed extraordinary ability throughout his career in spite of his chronic injuries, being most renowned in Japan. Usually a playmaker, Stojković was especially famed for his vision, technique and passing ability.
