Josip Gucmirtl (16 March 1942 – 25 November 2009) was a Croatian football player. Gucmirtl first started playing for his hometown club NK Osijek before coming to Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb in 1965.[1] Gucmirtl played as a striker for Dinamo throughout the remainder of his career, appearing in a total of 409 matches and scoring 109 goals for the Blues (including 191 appearances and 54 goals in the Yugoslav First League).[1] He is mainly remembered for being a member of Dinamo's Golden Generation which won the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the club's only European silverware in history.[1]
