Saša Ilić (Serbian Cyrillic: Саша Илић, pronounced [sâʃa ǐːliːt͡ɕ] or [îːliːt͡ɕ]; born 18 July 1972 in Melbourne) is a retired Serbian-Australian football goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Melbourne, Ilić started his career with Sydney-based Bonnyrigg White Eagles before transferring to Borac Banja Luka in Bosnia.

Ilić later joined Charlton Athletic, where he became most well-known. He was a regular in goal in the latter half of the 1997–98 season and kept a record 10 clean sheets in a row, including both play-off semi-finals against Ipswich Town. The run was ended as Charlton gained promotion after a classic 4–4 play-off final, in which he saved the deciding penalty from Michael Gray in a 7-6 win over Sunderland on penalties in the First Division play-off final. After Charlton's relegation in 1998–99, Ilić lost his place in the team to new signing Dean Kiely.[1]

In February 2000 he went on loan to West Ham United but made just one appearance - a 4-0 defeat at home to Everton in the Premier League.[2] In September 2001 he went on loan to Portsmouth and made seven appearances.

Ilić left Charlton in 2002 and joined Hungarian side ZTE where he played against Manchester United in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. ZTE won the first leg 1-0 but lost the second leg 5-0, a game in which Ilić was also sent off for a foul on Ruud van Nistelrooy.[3]
