So quick story about how I came to hear about Maribor:
While I was living in Liverpool, I was taking the train to the airport. I was surrounded by 8 middle-aged men on the train, drinking beers and being quite loud. I kept quiet and they could see how uneasy I felt and offered me a beer, to which I politely declined. I could see that they were sporting football memorabilia from NK Maribor, who just happened to finish a game against Liverpool that day. I became less annoyed and found them to be respectful of my space on the train and it was to my surprise that they were taking the same flight as me, whereby we exchange waves and wished each other the best.
