Tomislav Piplica (born April 5, 1969) is a goalkeeper from Bosnia and Herzegovina currently playing for FC Energie Cottbus in Germany. He is a Bosnian Croat and holds dual Bosnia and Herzegovina-Croatian citizenship. As a teenager Piplica was part of the Yugoslavian squad that won the 1987 FIFA Under-20 World Cup. However, as a substitute goalkeeper in all six matches he failed to see playing time on the field.
He is famous for well known goalkeeping blunders.[1] He is especially well remembered for his 'own goal' again Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2002, in which he appeared to head the ball into his own net, after standing rooted to his line.[2][3] In this particular game FC Cottbus was leading 3-2, but with four minutes to go, Piplica's howler leveled the game at 3-3, and it finished that way.[4]
Piplica has also played internationally for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team and for HNK Segesta.
