History
The first football club in Derventa before World War II was FK Dečko which was formed before FK Tekstilac. After World War II FK Dečko merged into FK Tekstilac Derventa.
In the long and rich history of FK Tekstilac Derventa, the teams which played between 1960 and 1968 will be remembered as one of the most talented and the best. The creator and leader of this brilliant team was the legendary attacker Faruk Tarabar. He had plenty football experience and excellent pedagogical skills. He managed to compose the talent and skill of that excellent Tekstilac generation.
Those teams brought lots of fans to the stadium to cheer for FK Tekstilac. Fans came to games in big numbers and players of Tekstilac gave them unforgettable times in that period.
Lots of fans still remember, and they will not forget, the start of the series in 1966/67 when Tekstilac, in the first tree matches, beat first team of FK Radnik Bijeljina with 5:0, then in next game they did the same thing to team of NK Zvijezda Gradačac (also they beat them 5:0), and in third match Tekstilac beat FK Budućnost Banovići in Banovići with 5:1.
Unfortunately, many of the players and member of the board of directors are not alive today, like Nikica Sirovina, Faruk Tarabar, Haso Kapetanović, Kemal "Spazo" Buzadžić, Nezir "Benco" Crnčević. Many of them also were refugees from Derventa: Ramo Slomić, Alija Vejzović and Mesud Jegić who all live in Sweden today. Emin Nakić and Pavek are in United States, Zvonko Bošnjak, Suljko and others are in Germany.
From other generations there was Branko Janković as a multi-talented player of both Handball (RK Derventa) and football (Tekstilac).[1]
