Football career

Back in 1996, Singaporean club Balestier Central got the attackers' services where he scored the first-ever S.League goal, netting it in a match confronting Police FC. [1] One week later, he made the S.League's first hat-trick in a 4–1 win, with his club coming third by the end of the season. [1] Signing for Woodlands Wellington in 1997 with Croatian Sandro Radun, their applications were rejected by the Singapore Football Association; in response, they asked FIFA to allow their documents, who in turn forced the Association to repay the player, with Sejdic's extra money amounting to 40700 Singaporean dollars. [4] The S.League supporters also wrote splenetic responses to the newspaper, saying that Sejdic should play. [5]
