Hajduk Split Supporters

Today I was watching TV series about cuisine from all the quarters of the globe. The Episode was about Croatian cuisine and it took place in Split. While the presenter was cruising around the city, he was passing a huge Hajduk Split logo on the stone wall. Hajduk Split is a Croatian football club, one of two most popular football clubs in Croatia. The other one is Dinamo Zagreb. These two are the biggest competitors in Croatian First League. As year follows year they exchange as the league champion. OK, but let’s get back to the point - the presenter mentioned a nice story about inscriptions on the walls made by Hajduk supporters.

When Jan Paul II was visiting Split, there were inscriptions in many places saying “Hajduk Split firs, Jan Paul second”. They say that Jan Paul II was laughing when he saw those sentences on the walls. When the next pope – Benedict XVI was visiting Split, Hajduk supporters also showed their creativity. That time inscriptions were saying “Benedict sixteenth, Dinamo seventeenth” (as you can suppose, it was about Dinamo Zagreb).

I wish Polish supporters where so creative. Unfortunately they usually limit themselves to words: King, Sucks and few F.. words.
