A former goalkeeper for Red Star Belgrade has been receiving death threats after signing with bitter rival Partizan.
Red Star fans have published an obituary on a sports forum website following Vladimir Stojkovic's move days ago from Sporting Lisbon.
Stojkovic said Tuesday he understands how Red Star fans feel, ''but publishing my obituary is a bit too much.'' He says he will not hire bodyguards.
Stojkovic played for Wigan on loan from Sporting in the English Premier League last season. He played for Serbia at the World Cup, but has asked to be omitted from the national team until he is playing better.
