Club career
[edit]He started his career at hometown club ADO Den Haag, before joining Hans Kraay-coached Dutch giants Ajax in 1974. A tough, but somewhat careless defender, he moved abroad to play in Belgium for Anderlecht alongside compatriots Peter Ressel, Arie Haan and Rob Rensenbrink and later for Standard Liège. After spending time at NAC, he finished his career at Sint-Niklaas.[1]
International career
[edit]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
[edit]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]
