Blagoje Tamindžić (Serbian Cyrillic: Благоје Таминџић; born April 8, 1952) is a retired Yugoslav-Canadian soccer goalkeeper.[2][3]

Club career

He was nicknamed Baja, which was also his kit name in one season,[4] as well as Blaggy. In 1977, he played in the National Soccer League with Montreal Castors.[5] In late 1977, Tamindžić along with six Montreal players were traded to the Ottawa Tigers in order to assist in their playoff match against Toronto Croatia to gain promotion to the NSL First Division.[6] The transaction provided Montreal the bargaining rights to Mick Jones.[7]

He resigned with Montreal for the 1978 NSL season.[8] In 1983, he played with the Toronto Nationals of the Canadian Professional Soccer League.[9]
