Nagoya Grampus Eight star Dragan "Pixy" Stojkovic celebrated his final game at the end of a 20-year professional soccer career with a 3-0 win over Tokyo Verdy 1969 on Saturday night, the final day of the J. League Division One first stage, at Tokyo Stadium.
"I'm very, very proud that I've played in Japan, in the J. League. For me and my family, it's unforgettable," Stojkovic said afterward.
"I'm proud of leaving the pitch with a win today. When I started in 1981 (at Yugoslav League club Radnicki Nis), it was a 2-1 win. Today, it's a 3-0 win. It's nice to start with a victory and finish with a victory."
