Canadian ’keeper a star in Serbia

-

While hardly a household name in Canada, Hamilton-raised Mi- lan Borjan turns heads in Serbia, where he’s the last line of defence for storied Red Star Belgrade. “He’s a guy who walks down the streets in Belgrade and he can’t get out the door of a coffee shop. He’s a bit of a legend there,” Canadian men’s soccer team coach John Herdman said. “But he can walk down the streets of Canada and nobody knows him.” Canada’s No. 1 goalkeeper, the 31-year-old Borjan has 12 shutouts in 39 appearance­s for his country. Earlier this month, he helped Red Star Belgade earn a 2-0 upset win over England’s Liverpool in Champions League play. Herdman said he expects Borjan’s star to rise further if

Red Star Belgrade makes it to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
