JAKARTA - The world of Indonesian football lost one of its best sons, Bejo Sugiantoro. The legend of Persebaya Surabaya and the Indonesian national team died while playing football at SIER Square, Surabaya, on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
Bejo Sugiantoro's departure clearly leaves sorrow, including for another Persebaya legend, Dejan Antonic.
The former Serbian player wrote a sad message about the departure of his team-mate while still defending Persebaya Surabaya.
Through a statement written on his personal Instagram, Dejan Antonic bid farewell to Bejo Sugiantoro. He didn't even expect his partner to leave so soon.

"My friend, my bro, goodbye, you go to early (you go too fast)," he wrote in a statement accompanied by a crying emoji.
In the 1995/1996 era, Dejan Antonic did play in Indonesia. Persebaya Surabaya became his first club.
At that time he also became a friend of Bejo Sugiantoro's team and several other legends, such as Aji Santoso, Yusuf Ekodono, Anang Ma'ruf, to Mursyid Effendi.
The togetherness of Dejan Antonic and Bejo Sugiantoro in the field did not last long. You see, in the 1996/1997 season or one year later, Dejan decided to leave for Persita Tangerang.
Although no longer with Dejan Antonic, Bejo Sugiantoro, who was still in Persebaya, managed to become the champion in the team that was then managed by Rusdy Bahalwan.
