After a season spent on a loan in Lokomotiva Zagreb, Kelava gained his chance in a match against rival Hajduk, after Filip Lončarić injury.He played a vital role in Dinamo`s breaktrough to UEFA Champions league in season 2011/12, saving his team several times, he is a member of Croatian national team. Danijel Subašić: Pointed as one of the biggest talents in 1. HNL, Subašić moved from native Nk Zadar to HNK Hajduk where he quickly justified the expectations. Good parties earned him a call to national team.In january 2012 he was transfered to AS Monaco FC Robert Lisjak: HNK Rijeka first choice goalkeeper.After saving Nk Istra from relegation Lisjak moved to Rijeka, where he soon became No. 1.After excellent plays in Rijeka , he was watned by Austria Wien, but the clubs couldnt settle on a fee, so transfer eventually broke down . Andrija Vuković: For me, one of the finest keepers ever played in 1. HNL.His excellent technique, reliabillity and reflexes earned him a nickname "Super Andrija" among RNK Split fans.He kept a clean sheet in a Uefa Euro league match against FC Fulham.Together with Lisjak, Vuković deffinatelly deserves a call for national team. Marin Skender: Can be reckognized by his bold head, Skender was once listed as a goalkeeper with most potential in 1. HNL. After few good seasons with NK Osijek, he recieved a national call up, and encouraged interest of Dutch PSV Eindhowen. Skender currently plays for Georgian club Dila Gori.
