He is a good friend of Sean Rooney. Very fiery temperament - broke things at Dressing Room when he was at Pune FC. Not good enough for wasting Foreigner slot.
Been fantastic though since returning to India... and no offense to the I-League but it is around the same level as the National Premier Leagues NSW Division 1 (below the A-League)
Yugoslavia War went on for almost 10 years (1991 to 2001). Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo - so many refugees went to different countries. Children from Yugoslavian refugee families made it big in Football in many countries where they settled on. Pavlovic, Barisic are those Croatian-Australian background. Australia certainly benefited as so many players there are of different Yugoslavic ethnicities. switzerland is one country whose almost entire team is made up of Yugoslav immigrant background players. Shaqiri is eligible for Switzerland, Albania, Serbia and Kosovo teams.
Some disquieting facts about East Bengal's new recruit Ivan Bukenya as reported by Ebela: His age is mentioned in Wikipedia as 25 but this fact has become a matter of joke in South Africa. Some say that he is much older than that, almost 38 while some exaggerated reports claim that he is 48! A person who has been closely following him in South Africa reported that he plays as a central defender, but he has become somewhat slow in the recent years. Incidentally, 24 Ghanta reported that he would be arriving at Kolkata on Thursday.

IMO he will be good signing as per resume.
