Fikret Mujkić
Fikret "Pike" Mujkić (born 13 May 1949) is a Yugoslav and Bosnian former footballer who played as a winger. Remembered as an able striker with excellent technique, Mujkić, widely known by his nickname Pike, was one of the more promising young players of his generation. At the time when he was coming up (the late 1960s and early 1970s), his skill caught the attention of many observers who predicted great things for him in the future. However, he never actually managed to reach the predicted level due to a variety of reasons mostly having to do with his inability to fully focus on football and develop his game. Club career Born in Sarajevo, Mujkić's career began in FK Željezničar's youth team. As one of the most talented players of his generation, he was soon included in the first team. He was on FK Željezničar's roster for the first part of the 1971–72 season at the end of which the club won its only league title. Mujkić left the club after 140 league matches and dur ...

Cap (sports)
In sport, a cap is a player's appearance in a game at international level. The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap to every player in an international match of rugby football and association football. In the early days of football, the concept of each team wearing a set of matching shirts had not been universally adopted, so each side would distinguish itself from the other by wearing a specific sort of cap. An early illustration of the first international football match between Scotland and England in 1872 shows the Scottish players wearing cowls, and the English wearing a variety of school caps. The practice was first approved on 10 May 1886 for association football after a proposal made by N. Lane Jackson , founder of the Corinthians: The act of awarding a cap is now international and is applied to other sports. Although in some sports physical caps may not now always be given (whether at all or for each appearance) the term ''cap'' for a ...
