Milan Arnejčič
Slovenian footballer
Milan Arnejčič (18 October 1942 – 8 March 2024) was a Slovenian professional footballer who played as a forward.
Career
Born in Maribor on 18 October 1942, Arnejčič started playing with Železničar Maribor and helped them win the 1960 Slovenian regional cup by scoring two of the four goals of his club in the victory in the final over NK Ljubljana. In 1960, he moved to NK Maribor. During the 1960s he became one of the most prominent Slovenian players. He was part of Maribor team that got the promotion to the Yugoslav First League in 1967. He played with Maribor until 1969, making 58 appearances and scoring 15 goals in the top tier during the last two seasons there.
In 1969, he joined Red Star Belgrade, who had won the Yugoslav championship in the last two seasons in 1968 and 1969. In the 1969–70 season Arnejčič joined Red Star, the club won the double (league and cup) with Arnejčič contributing 12 league appearances and 3 league goals for Red Star's third Yugoslav title in a row. Red Star was interested in bringing as well Tomislav Prosen and Mladen Kranjc, who, along with Arnejčič, were the main players of Maribor, however at the end they only brought Arnejčič in a deal which meant that Milan Janković, Vladislav Bogićević and Rade Radić moved to Maribor.
After winning both national titles with Red Star in only one season, Arnejčič failed to impress, and he moved abroad in summer 1970 by joining Nationalliga (predecessor of the Austrian Bundesliga) side Grazer AK. He made 12 league appearances and scored 4 goals in the 1970–71 Austrian football championship in which GAK finished in 11th place.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Milan Arnejčič” as slovenian footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as slovenian footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 9, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q6850497. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1942, 2024, 1960 and 1967.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
