Vedran Rožić

Vedran Rožić (born 2 November 1954 in Trogir, PR Croatia, FPR Yugoslavia) is a retired Croatian football player and Hajduk chairman.

During the 70s when Hajduk players such as Šurjak, Mužinić and Žungul were superstars, he would drive every day after training to his house in Trogir and would ignore the media attention.

He left the club in 1984 and thus becoming the last player of the great 70s generation which stayed at Hajduk and had 390 caps in total.

He left the club in 1989 but for political reasons he refused to return to Yugoslavia and stayed in Sydney.

He made his debut for Yugoslavia in an April 1978 friendly match away against Iran, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Aleksandar Trifunović, and earned a total of 10 caps, scoring no goals.
