INFODubravko Pavličić (28 November 1967 – 4 April 2012) was a Croatian footballer who played as a central defender. On the pitch he usually played as a central defender, although he also occasionally played as a midfielder, performing defensive tasks. He dominated aerial play and frequently joined the midfield and the attack. Being a defensive player, he often ended the season with a large number of warnings and expulsions. Pavličić started playing professionally for local NK Dinamo, being irregularly used over the course of three seasons. He developed into a top division player with NK Rijeka, helping it to two sixth place finishes and one fourth in the newly founded Croatian First Football League; in the 1993–94 Croatian Cup, he scored the game's only goal in the second leg of the final, albeit in an eventual 1–2 aggregate loss. In the 1994, summer Pavličić moved to Spain and signed for Hércules CF, in Segunda División, winning promotion to La Liga in his second year and netting a career-best six goals in 38 games in the following season, which nonetheless ended in relegation, with the player scoring in both games against FC Barcelona (3–2 win at the Camp Nou and 2–1 success at home). He stayed in the top level with UD Salamanca, dropping down a division in 1999. In the 2000 off-season, 32-year-old Pavličić signed for Racing de Ferrol – division two – retiring at the end of the campaign. He settled in the nation subsequently, also playing amateur football for club Sporting Plaza in the Alicante area. Pavličić played for Croatia for five years, gaining a total of 22 caps, and he was selected for the squad that appeared at UEFA Euro 1996. Pavličić died of pancreatic cancer on 4 April 2012 in Elche, aged 44.
Quote:
Duga rudlava kosa, visoka figura, čvrsti gard, broj četiri na dresu… U sjećanjima ćemo »zamrznuti« upravo takav kadar, toliko svojstven njegovoj dojmljivoj pojavi na terenu. Lakoća pokreta kojom se znao »otresti« suparničkog napadača, elegancija bijega s loptom od svojega do suparničkog kaznenog prostora sekvence su koje će pamtiti gledatelji i nogometni kibici. Obitelj i znanci pamtit će ga kao brižnoga, osjećajnog, plahog, ali istodobno i duhovitog i vrckavog oca, muža, sina, prijatelja…
