In 2003 Ogrizovic was the subject of a hoax that said that he had been kidnapped in Kazakhstan and an online petition was set up to campaign to get him released. This was proved to be false when the Coventry Evening Telegraph interviewed him at Coventry City's training ground at Ryton-on-Dunsmore. Politically, Ogrizovic campaigned for his local Conservative Party candidate in the 1987 UK General Election. Cricket career Ogrizovic was also a cricketer, reaching Minor Counties level as a medium-fast bowler. He played three List A matches for Shropshire County Cricket Club in the NatWest Trophy, and a further game for Minor Counties in the Benson & Hedges Cup. Amongst the players who he got out at this level were Chris Broad, Martyn Moxon and Alvin Kallicharran, all international cricketers Honours As a player Liverpool European Super Cup: 1978 (Runner up) European Cup: 1978, 1981 Charity Shield: 1979, 1980 Coventry City FA Cup: 1987 As an individual Coventry City Hall of Fame References External links 1957 births Living people Footballers from Mansfield Association football goalkeepers English footballers English cricketers English people of Serbian descent Chesterfield F.C. players Liverpool F.C. players Shrewsbury Town F.C. players Coventry City F.C. players English Football League players Premier League players Shropshire cricketers Minor Counties cricketers Coventry City F.C. managers Coventry City F.C. non-playing staff English football managers UEFA Champions League winning players Association football goalkeeping coaches FA Cup Final players Cricketers from Nottinghamshire
