Did you say “player takes free kick with his head”? Surely not! Well sir, that’s just what happened. While playing for Thai side Muangthong United, Macedonian midfielder Mario Gjurovski decided – for reasons best known and perhaps best kept to himself – to take a free-kick with his head. See for yourselves…

Football Burp did a bit of digging on yer man Gjurovski and found this stunning footage of him rejecting the advances of Manchester United overlord Sir Alex Ferguson, right there and then, over the telephone…(warning: loud heavy metal intro!)…

…and here he is having his shorts pulled down by a mischievous team mate…

Gjurovski seems fairly reticent in front of the camera, so his headed free-kick comes as proof positive of that old adage: “It’s always the quiet ones.” Now, let’s see some of his on-pitch skills…

It would seem that Gjurovski has become a bit of a star in the Thai – in fact, the Macedonia International News Agency described him in this article as being a “footballing god” out there. It said…

Mario Gjurovski, former Red Star and on off national team player is very much a “God” in Thailand after only a season in the Thai Premier League.
The 27 year old Macedonian international is scoring goals on each match for Muatong United and has single handedly brought the title for the club. Because of this, Muatong’s management wants to extend life long contract with Gjurovski.

Mario Gjurovski is the son of Mak legend Milko Gjurovski. He has only been called to the national team on few occasions, scored two spectacular goals and is certainly better than most of the midfilders currently playing for the national team.

However, according to MINA’s Pero Stamatovski Mario Gjurovski does not do well when it comes to ‘respecting authority’ just like his father. Because of this, he was removed from the national team.

“Does not do well when it comes to ‘respecting authority'”? Well, according to this article from MacedonianFootball.com, it was his club’s decision to forbid him from playing in two friendly matches for John Toshack’s Macedonia, although we don’t know if this is what was being referred to.
