Club career[]

Vladić began his club career with the then-largest regional side in Herzegovina, Velež Mostar. He stayed with the club for the majority of his career except for a stint at AEK Athens from 1979 to 1981, and a brief stint at Panachaiki during 1980,[1] after which he returned to Velež and he finished his career there in 1985.

Vladić played in over 300 league games for Velež and scored over 70 goals and is remembered for being the part of the Velež three known as the "Mostar BMV" (Bajević, Marić and Vladić) during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.

Vladić made his debut for Yugoslavia in an October 1972 friendly match away against England and made 24 appearances and scored 3 goals at the international level,[2] competing in the 1974 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 1976. His final international was a February 1977 friendly match against Mexico.[3]
