League table Incident On Tuesday, 20 January 2009 around 10:40pm at the
Split Airport, Red Star Belgrade players were attacked by a group of 20 Croatian hooligans, members of
Torcida Split hooligan firm, and supporters of
KK Split. The attack occurred inside the airport building as the players and club staff were
checking-in for the charter flight back to Belgrade after beating KK Split 62-67 earlier that night in
Gripe Hall. The hooligans entered the airport building, stormed the main hall, and attacked the Red Star group with sticks, glass bottles, and rocks, before escaping out of the building using another entrance. The attack did not appear to be organized. No serious injuries were reported except for Red Star's American shooting guard
Andre Owens who got a
laceration on his knee as he jumped over the check-in counter to avoid the charging hooligans. In a press release prompted by the incident, KK Split's management distanced themselves form the behaviour of their fans, expressing regret over the incident. Club president
Dino Rađa also publicly apologized. ==Stats Leaders==
