Club career

He started his career at hometown club ADO Den Haag, before joining Hans Kraay-coached Dutch giants Ajax in 1974.

After spending time at NAC, he finished his career at Sint-Niklaas.[1]

International career

Dusbaba made his debut for the Netherlands in an August 1977 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Iceland and earned a total of 4 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was an October 1978 UEFA Euro qualification match against Switzerland.[2] He was a preliminary member for the 1978 FIFA World Cup, but was not part of the final squad.[1]

Personal life

Dusbaba was known for doing all kinds of dubious business during his playing career, selling fur coats, video recorders and TV's from the trunk of his car.[3]
