The Team
Legio Bigeste
History
Foundation
Legio Bigeste was founded on April.9th 2007. It started playing in VI.84 league in the 14th season.
Bigeste was founded as a club that is mainly focused on production of quality home talent, that will either be sold, or in better case, involved in some way with Herzegovian NT directly from the club. Since it's begining the club has developed a number of talented players that reached NT levels.
The teams holds trophy's of leagues VI.84, V.109, IV.58 and III.13. Highest position was achieved in II.3 league where the team competed for 7 seasons. At one instance team was in a position to secure first place in a direct home field clash with team Benzinac and their cheating dark-powered manager GM-benzinac. It is sad to say that the rival used his dark ways to secure an early red card for Legio Bigeste wing-man, and at the end all resulted in a 0-2 disappointing defeat. In that season Legio Bigeste secured it's highest position, #2 in league and overall #14 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After that team was maintaining it's squad for a little bit more that the half of next season, at which point most of key players were put on sale, including midfield star Edib Kožuhar, wing-man marksman Mike-Frank Malone and attack star, the penetrating Aleksandras Kurčinskas. Coach and another part of famous midfield punishment squad, Igor Brajko, was retired into Hall of Fame, while Musa Vico and Jovan Jablanović, both part of the same famous midfield, were transferred later on after some defense training. During this time team started to drop leagues, so it only passed through III.3 and IV.37.
Currently the team is playing in V.199 league, in which it plans to grow roots for number of seasons.
Club could have surely pulled a lot more success than that, but according to it's manager, many "hidden" powers await in the depths of Hattrick Bosnia and Herzegovina, from relatives that live in Sweden that prepare and threaten with terrorist attacks in the case of Bosnian team losing, Herzegovian "šverc" random games, to federation wars of married and un-married. In all those wars Legio Bigeste always manages to stay on top, balancing the cold waters of relegation and warm ones of promotion.
To quote the fans of Legio - "Valderrman je Bog"
The club also has a youth academy Legio Bigeste Juniors that is used to pull good players and mostly sell them for paycheck money. Occasionally a very good player comes out, and then it is transformed into a hefty transfer bill or new midfield star of the first team.
Stadium
Bigeste Coloseum is the arena of Legio Bigeste. It has a total capacity of 65.000 seats.
- Terraces: 39.000
- Basic seating: 15.275
- Seats under roof: 9.100
- Seats in VIP boxes: 1.625
It is rarely full due to too high expectations of the local supporters. Also, as one of the reasons of low attendance, manager Valderrman mentions weather, that always "sjebe" home games.
