Srboljub Stamenković

Srboljub Stamenković (Serbian Cyrillic Србољуб Стаменковић) (born January 31, 1956 in Titovo Užice, Serbia, FPR Yugoslavia - died January 28, 1996 in Užice, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia) known professionally in the United States as Stan Stamenkovic was a Yugoslav football player. The most notable part of his career was spent in the United States playing indoor soccer for the Major Indoor Soccer League in Memphis and Baltimore.

Born in the town of Užice (then called Titovo Užice) in Serbia he started playing for Red Star Belgrade in 1975 and stayed until 1981, when he was transferred to the Memphis Americans. He played there for two seasons before going to the Baltimore Blast and stayed there until 1988, after helping the team win an MISL championship in 1984. He returned to Yugoslavia afterward to start his own business, a pizza parlor. He tried a comeback with the CISL's San Jose Grizzlies in 1994 but nagging injuries, which had prompted his earlier retirement, stopped this after 8 matches.

Stamenkovic died after injuring his head in a fall on a sidewalk in Užice, just days before his fortieth birthday.
