Miroslav Bošković Galeb, one of the greatest football players from this area, was buried

In Danilovgrad today, at the Orja Luka cemetery, Miroslav Bošković, a legend of Hajduk Split and Partizan Belgrade, one of the greatest football players from this area, was buried.

The popular Galeb died yesterday in Danilovgrad, at the age of 76.

He was born in Belgrade on January 3, 1947. He started his career in NK Zadar, then a club in the Dalmatian zone, and in 1965 he came to Hajduk.

This defender played for Split until 1973, playing 405 games in which he scored 31 goals.

"He was a task player, a defensive player in whom every coach could trust," said Hajduk, which had its delegation at Galeb's last send-off.

Jurica Gizdić, the chronicler and head of the "former" protocol, and Ante Radaić, the deputy sports director, arrived, and they were welcomed in Montenegro by the former player of Hajduk, Momir Bakrač.

With Hajduk, Bošković won the title of Yugoslav champion in 1971 and two Marshal Tito Cups, in 1967 and 1972.

He then moved to Partizan, where he spent two seasons. He was remembered as the only football player who moved from Hajduk to Partizan.

Then Galeb went abroad and played in French Angers from 1975 to 1978.

He played six matches for the national team of Yugoslavia.

Interestingly, for a time he also tried his hand as a sports journalist, in the editorial office of "Slobodna Dalmacija".

He was particularly attached to Montenegro, the land of his ancestors, especially to his Bjelopavlić family, where he returned to live. He had a chicken farm in Danilovgrad, then he was also involved in the production of food spices.

He spent his last days in his homeland.
