Darko Kovačević
Darko Kovačević was a Serbian striker of great physical strength and striking precision, one of the most prolific center-forwards in European football between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. Trained in Yugoslav football, he stood out at Red Star before transferring to Western Europe, where he played for Sheffield Wednesday, Real Sociedad, Juventus, Lazio and Olympiacos. His most remarkable phase was at Real Sociedad, a club where he became an idol and was a key player in the team that finished as Spanish runners-up in 2002-2003, one of the most celebrated campaigns in the history of the Basque club. At Olympiacos, he won Greek titles and ended his career in 2009. For the Yugoslav national team and later Serbia and Montenegro, he played in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, accumulating more than 50 international matches.
