Nikola Gazdić

Nikola Gazdić-Janjčić (died 22 May 1921) was a footballer who played for Hajduk Split. Gazdić was the first Hajduk player to score more than 100 goals.[1] He died of late stage tuberculosis after playing against Građanski Zagreb, Hajduk's greatest rival at the time, in a 2-1 victory (he scored a goal for 1-1 and was awarded a penalty that Mantler realised for 2-1 victory). He scored 106 goals in 91 match.[2]

Leo Lemešić named Gazdić one of four greatest footballers in Hajduk's history.[3]
