Miljan Mrdaković (1982-2020) *38

was a Serbian professional footballer who played as a striker. A journeyman, Mrdaković played for 20 clubs across 10 countries and scored 150 goals in all competitions. He also represented Serbia at the 2008 Olympics. Mrdaković died by suicide in the Zvezdara municipality of Belgrade on 22 May 2020. After passing through the youth categories of Radnički Niš and Partizan, Mrdaković moved abroad to Belgian club Anderlecht at the age of 16. He played for their youth and reserve teams, before going on loan to fellow Belgian First Division side Eendracht Aalst in early 2002.

Following an unsuccessful spell in Belgium, Mrdaković returned to his homeland and joined OFK Beograd on a free transfer. He became the team's top scorer in the 2002–03 season, bagging 20 league goals in 32 appearances. In August 2003, Mrdaković was transferred back to Belgium, penning a four-year contract with Gent. He left the Belgian club by mutual agreement in April 2004 and returned to OFK Beograd to finish the season.

In early 2005, Mrdaković signed with Austria Salzburg. He left six months later for Ukraine and spent a little over a year at Metalist Kharkiv. In August 2006, Mrdaković signed with Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv. He made 36 appearances and scored eight goals across all competitions throughout the season. Over the next 12 months, Mrdaković played for Portuguese club Vitória Guimarães with similar success.

In July 2009, Mrdaković returned to Europe and signed a two-year contract with Cypriot club Apollon Limassol. He failed to make an immediate impact, appearing in just one game, and was loaned to fellow Cypriot First Division side Ethnikos Achna in the 2010 winter transfer window. Until the end of the season, Mrdaković scored eight goals in 14 appearances. He subsequently returned to Apollon Limassol and became the league's top scorer in the 2010–11 campaign with 21 goals. In June 2011, Mrdaković signed with AEK Larnaca on a three-year deal.
