Partizan Belgrade

Stanisic, a native of Serbia, began playing soccer with Partizan Belgrade.

MISL

In 1984, Stanisic moved to the United States where he signed with the New York Cosmos. While the Cosmos had gained its reputation as a top outdoor team in the North American Soccer League, that league had folded and the Cosmos had moved to the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Stanisic and the Cosmos began the 1984-1985 MISL season, but the team’s finances led to its leaving the league before the end of the season and folding a few weeks later. Stanisic then moved to the Chicago Sting, another ex-NASL team now playing in MISL. He spent two seasons in Chicago before moving to the Baltimore Blast in 1988.

NPSL

He spent two seasons in Hershey before moving to the Illinois Thunder of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) for the 1991-1992 season. He then moved to the Kansas City Attack (NPSL) for two seasons. However, Stanisic was plagued by injuries during the 1993-1994 season and was traded to the Harrisburg Heat during the 1994 off season. Stanisic experienced a rejuvenation with the Heat and was named a second team All Star for the 1995-1996 season. ^{[http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/goheat/Awards.html]} Stanisic only played four games for the Heat during the 1997-1998 season when the Attack purchased his contract on December 1, 1997 with cash and a pick in the upcoming Amateur Draft. ^{[http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Track/3410/releasepage.html#sp]} He played out the rest of the 1997-1998 season in Kansas City, seeing time in twenty-eight games. In the 1998-1999 season, he played in only ten games and is not listed on any team’s roster for the 1999-2000 season. In 2000, Stanisic joined the Detroit Rockers where he played only eight games before retiring at the end of the 2000-2001 season. ^{[http://www.howesportsdata.com/howesportsdata/stats/soccer/misl/misl01.txt]} On March 31, 2005, the Chicago Storm of the Major Indoor Soccer League signed Stanisic to a fifteen day contract after injuries had decimated the Storm’s goalkeeper corps. ^{[http://chicago.comcastsportsnet.com/view_content_0p.asp?ID=6743]} However, he played no games during those fifteen days before retiring permanently. Stanisic finished his NPSL career sixth on the all time goalkeeper wins list with 127. ^{[http://www.usindoor.com/npslstats.html]}
