Franjo Bučar in the Croatian Sports historiography

Aim of this paper is to analyse ‘Franjo Bučar’ as a topic in the Craotian sports historiography. It is reasonable to expect that the most important person in Croatian sport history is well investigated and that, relatively to his importance and contribution, will be represented in Croatian sports historiography. Although Croatian sports historiography can be traced back to the early twentieth century, it was not until the post WWII period especially during 1960s and 1970s that scholarly researches and academic sports historiography in Croatia developed rapidly. Until today, over 500 books about Croatian sport history were published in Croatian language. Despite the advances and development of the historiography of sport in Croatia, it remained the case that researchdriven, in-depth scholarly studies of Franjo Bučar, “father of Croatian sport”, remain almost untouched field since 1970s.
