Widely believed to be past his best, Stojkovic can nevertheless trouble the most resolute defence on his day.
Came to real prominence in the 1990 World Cup in Italy but is still such a major player in the Yugoslavian squad that he made five appearances in qualifying, netting twice.
Could well start the tournament as captain with Mihajlovic the other main contender for the role.
Both sublime and petulant against Norway. His country's star man.
Led from the front against Spain in a bruising exciting match. But the disappointment of losing that game to two late goals would have been insignificant next to the sorry quarter-final mauling by Holland - could it be the saddest possible end to a great international career?
