INFOS:

Predrag Jurić was a striker with attitude and was able to run a lot and work for the team. Before he returned to Velež, he had poor scoring stats at Dinamo, but with Kajtaz and Tuce on the wings, that all changed. He was great header of the ball and their crosses were main reason for his blossom. They were known as JU-KA-TU trio. Since he was not a very precise shooter, he scored mostly headers, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't dangerous on the ground. Pacey, tough, combative who could run a lot, he was the first line of defence when opposition attacked. He used his weaker foot a lot and was good at running into open space. However, he was used as post player too, as he was able to get the ball, free from his opponent and deliver a decent pass, both low and lofted to his teammate. During his peak, he played two games for NT. He retired in 2001 but then returned to football when he was 59 years old and played in Croatian 3rd league.
