Petar Radenković (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар Paдeнкoвић; born 1 October 1934) is a retired Serbian football goalkeeper who also played for the Yugoslavia national team.[1] He also goes by the name Perica. He is mostly known for his spell with TSV 1860 Munich in Germany, during which he participated, among others, in the inaugural season of the newly formed Bundesliga.

Radenković is also known for recording the song Bin i Radi — bin i König in 1965; the record sold more than 400,000 copies in West Germany.[2][3] His younger brother Milan Radenković was a musician in the United States. His father was also a singer in the U.S., performing as Rasha (or Rascha) Rodell.[3][4]

The player is currently the last living member of the Yugoslavia national football team of the 1956 Summer Olympics.[citation needed]
