Esad Sejdic is a Yugoslavian former footballer who played as a forward.

Football career

[edit]

Back in 1996, Singaporean club Balestier Central got the attackers' services where he scored the first-ever S.League goal, netting it in a match confronting Police FC.[1] One week later, he made the S.League's first hat-trick in a 4–1 win, with his club coming third by the end of the season.[1] Signing for Woodlands Wellington in 1997 with Croatian Sandro Radun, their applications were rejected by the Singapore Football Association; in response, they asked FIFA to allow their documents, who in turn forced the Association to repay the player, with Sejdic's extra money amounting to 40700 Singaporean dollars.[4] The S.League supporters also wrote splenetic responses to the newspaper, saying that Sejdic should play.[5]

Violating Muslim ordinance by being in the same house with an Islamic woman without being a Muslim himself, the Yugoslavian was released by Negeri Sembilan in 2004.[6]

Other

[edit]

Owning three to four restaurants in Singapore, two went bankrupt in 2015 and he had to reduce one restaurants staff to four full-timers in 2016 following the hookah ban.[7]
