In the spring of 1911. Croatia was still a part of Austria-Hungary. Not happy with its status and position over the years Croats were always looking for ways how to express their wish for independence and its national feelings. Football was just one of them. In the April of 1911. the talk of the town was that a new Hungarian football club is to be formed in Zagreb and was to be a member of Hungarian Football Association, even though all other Zagreb's football clubs were members of Croatian Sports Association which was formed in 1909. As the revolt among Croat sports people grew the feeling was that it is time for another Football club to be established in Zagreb ahead of Hungarian one, thus 1. HŠK Gradjanski Zagreb (Prvi Hrvatski Gradjanski Športski Klub Zagreb - First Croatian Citizen's Sports Club Zagreb) was formed on 26. of April 1911. More )))
Bad Blue Boys
The history of BBB
dates back to mid 1980s when the pioneers of the 'coloured blue' had an image of organisation. The name Bad Blue Boys was inspired by the movie Bad Boys starring Sean Penn. All over Europe and former Yugoslavia active supporters were becoming a regular part of the football spectacle. It wasn't enough to stand behind your team on home ground and so the most organised began their journeys. When said organised it doesn't mean organised by the club (there was those, but they were rare), but small groups of people in Zagreb's suburbs started forming their own ways about making themselves heard, and they were heard allright. Troughout the years other cities all over former Yugoslavia were visited in succession, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Split, Niš, Subotica, Vinkovci, Mostar, Novi Sad, Banja luka, Skopje, Osijek, Rijeka. At every opportunity and in every corner of that country Bad Blue Boys made it obvious how much they love Dinamo, Zagreb and Croatia.... More )))
