Fikret "Pike" Mujkić (born 13 May 1949) is a
Remembered as an able striker with excellent technique, Mujkić, widely known by his nickname Pike, was one of the more promising young players of his generation. At the time when he was coming up (the late 1960s and early 1970s), his skill caught the attention of many observers who predicted great things for him in the future. However, he never actually managed to reach the predicted level due to a variety of reasons mostly having to do with his inability to fully focus on football and develop his game.
Club career
Born in
He played for Dinamo until 1974 appearing in 73 matches (42 goals).
After that, he played for NAC Breda and Panathinaikos. He joined NAC in January 1975 and scored on his league debut against ADO Den Haag. He scored another six goals in the final seven league matches of the season to save NAC from relegation, playing alongside his compatriot Nikola Budišić.[2]
He returned to FK Željezničar during the 1976–77 season's winter break. His second stint, however, lasted only half a season. Željezničar got relegated at the end of that season and Mujkić retired from football. During his two stints with Željezničar he played 140 league games (43 goals) for the club.
International career
Mujkić is a record holder for the number of appearances for Yugoslav under-21 team as he played 45 times. He played 23 games for the Olympic team as well.
He made his senior debut for

The Mujkić brothers later reportedly had a falling out for unspecified reasons.
Administrative work
Mujkić is currently a member of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Football Association's executive board where he represents Tuzla Canton's FA.
Personal life
In 1969, Mujkić married Serbian actress Radmila Živković who had won the Miss Yugoslavia crown earlier that year.[10] The marriage was short-lived, quickly ending in divorce within a year.
In 1971, while serving his mandatory Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) stint in Požarevac, Mujkić began dating Serbian singer Radmila Karaklajić, another high-profile relationship that received a lot of coverage in Yugoslav press.[11][12]
In popular culture
Zabranjeno Pušenje track "Probušeni dolar" off their 1987 album Pozdrav iz zemlje Safari features a reference to Đulijano Pike, a fictional character from Sarajevo reportedly inspired by Mujkić.[13] In the context of the song, Đulijano Pike is a local Don Juan womanizer who seduces young girls in Sarajevo's Veliki Park, sleeps with them, and then publicly brags about his sexual conquests thereby tarnishing the girls' reputations.
