Sasa Ilic
| Date of birth | 18 July 1972 |
| Place of birth | Melbourne |
| Weight | 62 kg |
| Height | 1.90 m |
| Position | Goalkeeper |
Ilic found himself mainly on the subs' bench for Charlton Athletic at the start of 2000-01 making only one start in the Worthington Cup tie against Stoke City at The Valley. He then picked up a rib injury at the end of October that sidelined him for two months before finally claiming his place in the Addicks line-up in January after Dean Kiely was injured.
Given a decent run in the side, Ilic had a shaky start but quickly found his form and a series of steady performances earned him a recall to the Yugoslavian international squad towards the end of the season.
Ilic was released by Barnsley in January 2004 before joining Sheffield United in a deal to the end of the 2003-04 season.
Ilic joined Leeds United in March 2005 on non-contract terms,.
