TRAJKO RAJKOVIC

Are many great champions who have worn the jersey of one of two Leghorn's basketball teams. Today we speak of the great and unforgettable Trajko Rajkovic.

Trajko Rajkovic was born in the former Yugoslavia on December 7, 1937. His professional career is very much tied to Leghorn as was the only Italian team which has worn the jersey. He played with the jersey of Fargas Leghorn (Libertas) in the 1967-68 season, also winning the top scorer of the championship with 521 points. Unfortunately, the link ends with Leghorn immediately saw that the company relegated from Serie A to Serie B and has to send away their foreign players. At Leghorn, especially in the hearts of the supporters of Libertas, has left a wonderful memory because he was very much linked with their teammates and for all because it was an example of seriousness to be followed both in training and during matches.


He also played for the jersey of their national team winning two silvers (1965 and 1969) and one bronze (1963) at the European Championships; two silvers (1963 and 1967) and a gold (1970) World Championships; a silver (1968) to the Olympics.


He dies in 1970 three days after winning the world championships played at home.
