Olympic Champion

Rajko Dakic was the great goalscoring-Midfielder of his generation, hitting the back of the net an incredible 21 times for Starblaydia from his wide Midfield position. This puts him above some great strikers in the goalscoring charts, including Darius Belizaire and Syku Lyku-Agbayani (both scored 20 goals).

He burst onto the scene as a nineteen year old at the First Summer Olympics, where he scored against Wentland and Liverpool England, as Starblaydia went all the way to win in the Final. As a twenty-one year-old he scored in the Group Stage of World Cup 30 against Spaam, before going on to net eight goals in World Cup 31, and seven in World Cup 32. His incredible speed, ball control and shooting power provided him with many goals as he could either blast from long-range or surge into the box with the ball, or to get on the end of a cross.

As left-wingers go, Starblaydia has rarely been blessed with such raw talent, instead relying on workmanlike performances from Marissa Cortez, Thanh Madray and Surachai Buathiang. Dakic brought to mind the flying, incredible wing play of such Starblaydi legends as Stefan Haldorsson and Nick Matranga, and was the youngest player to be named in the Starblaydia All-Time XI.
