Bozo Janković grew up in Sarajevo where he began playing football in FK
Željezničar youth system. He signed a professional contract at the age
of 17 after passing through every age level at the club, making his
First League debut during 1968–69 season. He was the Yugoslav First
League joint topscorer in 1970–71 season alongside Hajduk's Petar
Nadoveza. Particularly notable during this season was Janković's
performance in an away league match versus Red Star Belgrade at Marakana
when he scored 4 goals - the game ended 4–1 for Željezničar. Janković
also played for Yugoslav national team.
He spent 11 seasons with FK Željezničar (256 league matches, 96 goals)
before leaving to join English side Middlesbrough FC in February 1979.
He played 42 games in two and a half seasons spent there. He scored 16
goals and he was a club topscorer in 1980–81 season with 12 goals. At
the end of the season, he surprised everyone as he decided to end his
playing career and start a new one as a lawyer. However, he postponed
that decision and signed a contract with FC Metz. This excellent
finisher ended his career there.
He had returned to Sarajevo where he eventually started his law
practice. He was also a member of FK Željezničar board. He left the city
after the start of War in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In October 1993 he
died in Kotor of natural causes at the age of 42.
