Despite this, there is consensus among critics that he displayed an extraordinary ability throughout his career in spite of his chronic injuries, his renown being greatest in Japan.<BR><BR>A highly skilful midfield playmaker, Stojkovic is considered to be one of the greatest players ever to come out of former Yugoslavia; he was also capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, as a central midfielder, or as a forward, and was even used as a target&#8211;man on occasion. A quick, opportunistic, and unpredictable player, he was known in particular for his vision, creativity, and passing ability, as well as his excellent technique and dribbling skills, which enabled him to beat several opponents, and earned him the nickname &quot;the Maradona of the Balkans.&quot; Despite his talent, however, his career was affected by several injuries, which hindered his potential.<\/P>","2CED97379BA5D88CE40611752FB01FA2":"<P><STRONG>Player<BR><BR><U>CLUB<\/U><BR><BR>Red Star Belgrade<BR><\/STRONG>Yugoslav First League: 1987&#8211;88, 1989&#8211;90<BR>Yugoslav Cup: 1989&#8211;90<BR><BR><STRONG>Marseille<BR><\/STRONG>Division 1: 1990&#8211;91<BR><BR><STRONG>Nagoya Grampus Eight<BR><\/STRONG>Emperor&#39;s Cup: 1995, 1999<BR><BR><STRONG>Yugoslavia<BR><\/STRONG>Summer Olympic bronze medalist: 1984<BR><BR><STRONG><U>INDIVIDUAL<\/U><\/STRONG><BR><BR><STRONG>J.
