As a very solid defender, sometimes too hard on some opponents, he soon won the respect and the hearts of the club most loyal fans, the Grobari. Also known for his simplicity and humor, there were many anecdotes built around him, but mostly for his courage and for giving it all at the field, he started to have the crowd chanting songs to him, and even today the phrase "Jedan je Bajro", meaning "Bajro, the one..." is actual.
In 1990, after having played 247 official matches for Partizan, he moved to Austrian club DSV Alpine where he played the 1990-91 season.
