Player with very good technique, extremely fast and agile. Played SS on the left side, but he was also able to play as CF or as a winger (during one game he could often be found on every attacking place, due to his great variability and playing skill). He could score from hard angles. He was so fast, that he would compete with best short distance runners from Yugoslavia (who also trained on Partizan stadium) and always beat them on short distances. Because of his speed and agility, people would say that he is so fast that ''he runs in 3 different directions at the same time''. That sounded too good to be true and a bit over the top, until I saw some of his games. He would drop back, steal the ball from opposition attacker, send a 20-25m pass, and run on the wing in order to send usable cross or try to get in to the box and score. Now, I can't say that he did this during the whole game, but he did that often enough to for me to question is he really a player from '60s. By his drops in to the defence, helping them and covering all that distance, he really looked more like some of the great modern attackers. Some people try to persuade all others, that his technique wasn't even near to the Šekularac's or Džajić's. The truth is, he might not be that good dribbler as those two players, but in terms of pure technique he's in their league. People who claim that he wasn't as good as those two in ball trapping, clearly can't comprehend that there's a big difference in playing styles. Yes, Galić would occasionally fail to calm the ball completely, but when receiving the ball he was running at full speed and in great number of times he would trap the ball excellently and continue to run with losing almost none of his speed! Šekularac and Džajić weren't playing like that. Yes, they were great with the ball, but they could never match Galić's ball trapping while running at full speed. He scored 165 goals in 281 matches for Partizan Belgrade and 33 goals in 84 matches for Standard de Liège. His score in national team is impressive, 37 goals in 51 games (0.73 goals per game). Galić scored in European Nations Cup in 1960. against USSR (with Yashin as GK). Sadly, Yugoslavia lost with 1-2, and came in second on this tournament. After 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile, directors of Peñarol were really amazed with Galić and tehy tried to persuade him to sign for them, but Galić refused the offer. In his first match for national team (qualifications for first European Nations Cup, 31/05/1959, against Bulgaria), Galić scored incredibly fast goal (in the 27th second of the game, fastest goal ever scored for Yugoslavian national team). Action goes like this: Judge signals the start of the match, Petaković gives the ball to Zebec, he then passes shortly to Galić, and then Galić, quickly as the lighting dribbles and runs with the ball in to the Bulgarian penalty box and fires a thunder ball from his right foot, leaving Bulgarian players to wonder: What the hell, just happened?! Also, there's an interesting story how Galić scored his first goal for Partizan. That happened in 1958., when Galić played his first game for Partizan (he was 20 years old). Milutin Šoškić (goalkeeper) sends a long, high ball to the center, Vladica Kovačević lowers the ball with his head to Galić (who stands 40m from goal), when Galić saw that ball flies nicely, he gets a sudden need to try a volley from that distance (by his own desription) and then he really hits the ball, with a volley, from 40m. The ball gets a nice spin (combined with great power from volley), and settles under the bar and the keeper couldn't do a thing about it!
