Vladimir "Vlado" Nikolovski (Macedonian: Владимир "Владо" Николовски, born 25 August 1936) is a former Macedonianfootballer. He became known as the first in a long line of Macedonian players to play for Red Star Belgrade.[1]
Nikolovski returned to Vardar, which was a productive move. It meant a continuation of winning national trophies, with Vardar winning the 1960–61 Yugoslav Cup, and Nikolovski scoring the opening goal of the 2–1 victory in the championship game.[1] He became one of the legendary players of Vardar.[1]
In 1966, in a transfer worth 40,000 British pounds, Nikolovski signed with Turkish giant Galatasaray, becoming their first foreigner since the club became professional.[1] It ended up being a bad move for Nikolovski since he managed to play only four games in the Süper Lig and one in the Turkish Cup.[1][3]
After returning from Turkey he retired from his playing career, and became director at a supermarket at Skopje.[1]
