Dubravko Pavličić (28 November 1967 – 4 April 2012) was a Croatian footballer who played as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Pavličić started playing professionally for local NK Dinamo, being irregularly used over the course of three seasons. He developed into a top division player with NK Rijeka, helping it to two sixth-place finishes and one fourth in the newly-founded Prva HNL.
In the 1994 summer, Pavličić moved to Spain and signed for Hércules CF, in Segunda División, winning promotion to La Liga in his second year, and scoring a career-best six goals in 38 games in the following season, which nonetheless ended in relegation. He stayed in the top level with UD Salamanca, dropping down a division in 1999.
In the 2000 off-season, 32-year old Pavličić signed for Racing de Ferrol - division two - retiring at the end of the season. He settled in the nation subsequently, also playing amateur football in the Alicante area.
International career
Pavličić played for Croatia for five years, gaining a total of 22 caps.[1] His debut came on 8 July 1992 in a 1–3 friendly loss with Australia in Adelaide, and he was selected for the squad that appeared at UEFA Euro 1996, playing two group stage games (one minute against Turkey, full match against Portugal) in an eventual quarterfinal exit.
Previously, Pavličić was a member of the highly-talented Yugoslavia under-20 team that won the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship in Chile, playing all the games in the tournament.[2]
Death
He died after a long illness on 4 April 2012 in Alicante, aged only 44.
