Jožef Velker
While visiting an agricultural fair in Budapest in 1929 he had the chance to assist to his first football match played between Hungary and his country, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.In same year his football skills are spotted by scouts of NAK Novi Sad and he began playing for them.FK Vojvodina, the city rivals, immediately start following the new star of NAK in what will become in one of the longest chases ever, and will last for long six years.In Autumn 1937 the growing forces of nazism and fascism were bringing fear and anxiety to people in Europe, but Novi Sad was in a state of agitation not because of the economical speculation, or the international politics, but because of the long-expected sensational transfer of Velker to FK Vojvodina.All places were reserved for players from Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo so all nationalities in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia would be satisfied.Velker had offers from clubs from Zagreb and Belgrade that would eventually open a way for him into the national team, but he stayed loyal to Novi Sad and FK Vojvodina.The final stage of the championship was interrupted by the beginning of the Second World War, and the Axis bombing, mobilization and country's capitulation made the competition to continue to be impossible.In order to avoid going into concentration camps, other former Vojvodina players such as Marjanović, Plac, Avramović, Jovanović, Medarić and Živković also joined the club.
