Forgive my ignorance, but how popular is he in Bosnia? Is he the current 'biggest' player from Bosnia? Is he one of the biggest ever? (By biggest I mean most popular and high in importance, we all know he's tall as fuck!)
He is by far most popular player in my country. And one of the biggest ever already (at the age of 24).
Was voted Bosnian nation idol twice in a row.
@FeedTheGoat10
at the moment he is the most popular player, for sure. but to become one of the bosnian legends he has to reach much more then only one national titel (german bundesliga winner).
Hasan Salihamidzic for example won the title six times, the league cup four times and also he won the champions league in 2001 with Bayern Munich.
of course edin is on the right way and he has got a lot of time left but to reach the success of Salihamidzic will be really difficult but possible
i know, we are not the "biggest" football nation and therefore ill give u some player names, so u can check out something about them
-Hasan Salihamidzic (HSV, Bayern Munich, Juventus; still active player at Juve)
watch his goal against the rags in 1998, at 3:29 :)

-Sergej Barbarez (Velez Mostar, Hansa Rostock, Dortmund, HSV and Leverkusen, was the national team captain)
-Elvir Bolic. he is still the top scorer of the national team with 22 goals
he also scored a beautiful goal against the rags :)
