A pleasure and an honour to have one of the true legends of the game on board, welcome Doug.
From one flank to the other, the next to offer up his GrassRoots club is the fullback from the other flank, the always elegant Doug Utjesenovic. The St.George stalwart, Socceroo #233, has nominated OFK Belgrade from Omladinski Stadion where he played all his junior football before heading here, unless you count the streets & handball courts of his native Belgrade. Doug made his first appearance in the Socceroo shirt in 1972 and was first among the first chosen on a further 60 occasions.
