Ljubo Milicevic Biography

Ljubo Milicevic is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on February 13, 1981 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Ljubo Milicvic (Croatian name Ljubo Millicevic; born 13 Feb 1981) is an Australian retired soccer player.

Milicevic signed for Melbourne Victory, the reigning A-League champions on February 20, 2007. Milicevic was not back home for long as he attracted interest from overseas, with Croatian heavyweights Hajduk Split (and Dinamo Zagreb) both wanting his signature. Milicevic stated that the only club he would play for in Croatia was his childhood dream team Hajduk Split. He cited both Josip Skoko and Torcida as inspirations. A long-term knee injury that he sustained on the first day of the season cost him his time with Victory. On 22 February 2008, his contract with Melbourne Victory was “mutually ended”.

It was revealed during January 2009 that Milicevic had suffered from depression throughout his time playing overseas. He then started training with Dandenong City in 2009 in a bid to regain fitness and get his personal life back in order.

His return to competitive soccer was anticipated by fans and the media alike, and despite the Jets’ shaky performance in their opening 2–0 away loss in the Asian Champions League to Beijing Guoan, Milicevic starred in their subsequent game, a 2–0 victory over Korea’s Ulsan Hyundai in which he marshalled the defence impressively and, along with some inspired goalkeeping by departing custodian Ante Covic, helped the Jets to their first competitive clean sheet in fourteen games. After joining Newcastle, Milicevic was adopted as a cult hero by the Newcastle fans, something not seen since Milton Rodriguez was at the club. On 18 March 2010, Milicevic signed a one-year contract extension with the Jets until the end of the 2010–11 becoming captain yet again and leading the team to the best defensive record in the league A-League season.

Milicevic was also capped for Australia. Milicevic made his senior debut against Indonesia in Subiaco Oval, Perth, March 2005. He then made three appearances during the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup against Argentina, Tunisia, and Germany.

He later moved to Perth Glory in 1999. There he scored his debut goal and helped to get the Western Australian side to their first ever NSL Grand Final. In 2000, he became the youngest ever player to score in an Australian grand finale. His chances of moving to Hertha Berlin, Germany were hampered by a serious knee injury sustained in the first match of the World Youth Cup in Argentina. He moved to Europe later that year and played for FC Zurich and FC Basel as well as FC Thun, FC Thun, and BSC Young Boys in Switzerland. Milicevic was 25 when he captained the Swiss Super League and European competition. Milicevic was also the captain of the Australian under-20 team at the World Youth Cup 2001 in Argentina, and then the Australian Olympic team that qualified to the 2004 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, he was unable to compete due to a groin injury sustained during qualification.
