Žan Ojdanić was the spiritus movens of Hajduk’s renaissance and a true legend of Torcida, respected all over Croatia
Hajduk community is in mourning, as news came from Sinj on April 2. 2016 about Žan Ojdanić (45) dying in a parachuting accident. As it is not easy for us to write about this, it is the best to share the thoughts written by Our Hajduk community page;
“Great people live through their great works. Žan Ojdanić was a great man. One of the initiators of Hajduk fans fighting for justice and fairness, for a better world. Icon of The North Stand and a dear friend.
Emptiness is what remains, just pain and lack of words to express our grief. Part of us is torn out forever to be connected again somewhere else, in time. Separated, but never lost.
Žan proved to us that it is possible to live for the ideas, and those ideas will remain written in eternity with him. They will live in us. And Žan will follow us from above, together with Pavo.
We thank destiny for allowing us to walk together.
Žan Ojdanić was the initiator and primary participant in the fight, which is finalized within Hajduk being the Club we know today – The Club whose work is based on the honorable foundations of democracy. If there were no Žan Ojdanić, there would not be Our Hajduk.”
His friends gathered tonight on The North stand of Poljud stadium honoring him, and Hajduk team will wear a black ribbon on their sleeves during tomorrow’s match against Split.
