Spanish record
The veteran Yugoslavian defender vowed that he had plenty of games left in him after breaking Hugo Sánchez's record for the most appearances by a foreign player in the Primera División in Valencia's 0-0 draw with Club Atlético Osasuna on 11 November this year. "I am still able to compete with the young ones," he said.
Dedicated performer
Djukic, who formerly played for RC Deportivo La Coruña, has earned a reputation as one of the most dedicated and effective central defenders in European football and represented Yugoslavia at EURO 2000™.
