Lazar Vidovic
Lazar Vidovic (born 1 April 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer.
He was recruited from Castlemaine, Victoria and debuted in 1989 with the St Kilda Football Club. He missed the 1990 season with a knee injury but returned in 1991.
Vidovic played in St Kilda’s 1996 AFL Ansett Australia Cup winning side - the club's first AFL Cup win.[1]
Vidovic played in 7 of 22 matches in the 1997 AFL Premiership Season home and away rounds in which St Kilda Football Club qualified in first position for the 1997 AFL Finals Series, winning the club’s 2nd Minor Premiership and 1st McClelland Trophy.[2]
In 1997, he played with the Saints as a backup ruckman when Peter Everitt suffered an injury, but he injured his knee again during the finals series, leaving Brett Cook as the number one ruckman for the 1997 AFL Grand Final. Following this he retired at the end of the season.
Vidovic was reported on many occasions during his league career, and known for his erratically aggressive onfield behaviour. In 2004 he pleaded guilty to five charges of forgery.[3]
