Career
Sandi Lah is mentioned at ND Ilirija 1911 official website as one of their best and most successful young players in club history.[1] In 1931, he started playing for the youth team but was immediately incorporated to the main team of Ilirija.[1] He played for Ilirija in the qualifiers for the 1932–33 Yugoslav Football Championship in both games played against AŠK Primorje which they lost 2–3 and 1–2.[2] Curiously, he then played with AŠK Primorje after the two clubs merged,[1] and subsequently with SK Ljubljana playing with them in the Yugoslav First League three consecutive seasons between 1935 and 1938.[3] It was then that he achieved his highlight in his career when he moved to Yugoslav capital Belgrade and joined FK BASK[1] playing with them in the 1938–39 Yugoslav Football Championship.[3] On January 6, 1939, Yugoslav most popular daily newspaper, Politika choose the best players of the main top-league clubs to ask them about their reading habits, and Lah was chosen among BASK players having said his preference was the Russian literature.[4]
In 1950, he headed the reestablishment of the football section at Ilirija.[5]
