Death of Marshal Tito

Further information: Death and funeral of Josip Broz Tito

The season's week 25 derby match Hajduk vs. Red Star featured a mass display of public grief. Played on Sunday afternoon, 4 May 1980, the match was in the 41st minute when three men entered the Poljud Stadium's pitch, signalling the referee to stop the match. The mayor of Split Ante Skataretiko took the microphone and informed the 50,000+ crowd that Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito had died. What followed were sudden scenes of mass crying with even some players such as Zlatko Vujović collapsing down to the ground and weeping. The crowd then launched into a rendition of "Druže Tito, mi ti se kunemo", a popular personality cult song that professes loyalty and devotion to Comrade Tito. The match was halted and never resumed.

The decision was made to void the match and re-play it two and a half weeks later on Wednesday, 21 May at the same stadium. Red Star won the re-play 3-1.^[1]
