Life

Vujcic was born in 1992 to parents Prvoslav and Nada. In 2005, Djuradj illustrated the book Deveto koleno sve/mira written by his father.[5] In October 2006, Mi magazin gave him the title of the "youngest sports journalist in Canadian journalism history" due to his writing an article for their magazine.[6] The same article was published by Sportski žurnal as well.[6]

From 2007 to 2009, he was the editor-in-chief of the Serbian White Eagles FC website. In 2009, he worked for Rogers TV and Serbian TV Toronto.

In 2009, he won the Literary Guild Award for his work.[7] A year later, he was chosen as a "young talent of the Serbian diaspora."[8] Vujcic has also worked with Boris Spremo and Radio Television of Serbia.[9]

He runs the Gravediggers Toronto 1987 fan-club which plans to organize an international friendly match between FK Partizan and Toronto FC.[10] After it was reported in late 2011 that Rivaldo wanted to join Partizan, Vujcic and Gravediggers Toronto 1987 helped organize a petition to convince the Partizan management to sign Rivaldo to a one-year deal. The petition was signed by 14,224 people.[11]
