It is with great sadness that i have to report Real Sociedad legend Darko Kovacevic may have to retire from the game after being diagnosed with a heart problem that is likely to require surgery. The big Serb has flown to Spain for tests and could face an operation this week. Reports are suggesting doctors have discovered a narrowing of the arteries that will require angioplasty. I'm sure football fans thoughts will be with him during this difficult time. I have been a long time admirer of his striking talents and even had the pleasure to have met him when i visited San Sebastian while he was at his second spell at the club. He is no doubt remembered by Real Sociedad most fondly for the lethal partnership he formed with Turkish striker Nihat Kahveci in the 2002/03 season when the club narrowly missed out on winning La Liga coming second.Check the video below of some fantastic memories of his time at the club!
