He most often played as a winger (usually on the left) or striker. Despite this, he did not score a goal for the Slovenian national side until his 53rd cap – in the second leg of a playoff for the 2002 World Cup against Romania in Bucharest. The match finished 1–1, a result that was enough to secure Slovenia's qualification, having won the first leg 2–1 in Ljubljana.
His son, named Roy, is also a footballer and was called for the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship.[1][2]
