He was a versatile athlete as a kid, but less interested he was in football. The best results were achieved in handball, playing in the attack and scoring goals. It was the love of his sport's biggest. And then, really by chance, he heard that on the playground Radnički Niš gathers about thirty young people to try out for admission to the club. He went to see that. "But they invited him to play. In the end they had received only two boys - one was Dragan Holcer.
