On club level Čajkovski played initially for HŠK Građanski Zagreb and Partizan Belgrade.

In this period he played between 1942 and 1943 twice for the Independent State of Croatia, and between 1946 and 1955 he played 55 times for the Yugoslav national team scoring 7 goals.[1] Participating at the Olympic Games 1948 and 1952 he won the silver medal on both occasions. The final of the 1952 tournament in Helsinki was lost against the then ascending Hungarian side of the Magic Magyars.

He also participated in the FIFA World Cups of 1950 and 1954. In 1950 Yugoslavia only lost to hosts Brazil in the group phase, during which Čajkovski scored two goals versus Mexico. In 1954 drew in the group phase against Brazil, but where eliminated in the subsequent quarter final match against eventual tournament winners Germany.

After this he finished his career as player with 1. FC Köln and Hapoel Haifa.
