	CNN/SI - Spanish Primera - Suker blames media for inventing Toshack criticism - Wednesday May 12, 1999 07:07 PM
		Suker, who was also fined 500,000 pesetas ($3,200), flatly denied having made those declarations on Wednesday -- and said his lawyers were looking into the matter.
		Despite his protests, Suker is still expected to leave the club at the end of the season, but played down speculation he might be moving to London to join either Premier League Tottenham Hotspur or Fulham, newly promoted to the English first division.
		Suker did not offer an outright apology for the row, which is the latest in a long line of off-the-field problems for Real this season, but did say he regretted not moving to sort things out sooner.

	Davor Suker & Dino Pokrovac :: Soccerphile
		Suker, one of the most lethal goal poachers of the nineties, was in London when Pokrovac was killed and when he returned he hardly made any comments to the press.
		Suker's activities after his retirement in 2003 have been mostly related to his Football Academy in Zagreb, with branches elsewhere in Croatia, but he also used his many contacts acquired during his 20-year long career to try his hand as a soccer agent.
		The left-footed wizard Davor Suker debuted at 16 in the Yugoslav First Division with Osijek and at 21 he was the League's top scorer with 18 goals.

		Suker had first made a name for himself on the world stage at Euro '96, netting 12 goals in 10 games in qualifying, and then lighting up the finals with an exquisite chip over Denmark's Peter Schmeichel in the group stages.

		Suker subsequently denied making any criticism of Toshack and said his lawyers were looking into the matter.
		Toshack, attempting to clarify the situation on Monday, said that Suker had been fined by the club for missing training on three occasions -- and suggested the ensuing row was just an attempt to deflect attention from that fact.
		Suker, who has another year to go on his contract, is almost certain to leave Real at the end of the season under a wide-ranging restructuring of the club, with the English Premier League his most likely destination.

		Then, in the 94th minute, Suker scored the goal of the week, a poacher's masterpiece from ten yards, a gem which sparkled even brighter than Edgar Davids' dribble past four Belgians in that bizarre 5-5 friendly in Rotterdam.
		Suker, looking over his shoulder as the ball came down, controlled it exquisitely as it hit the ground, with the inside of his left foot, and flicked it past the now-advancing Kelly with the outside of his left foot.
		But Davor Suker is clever in crowded penalty areas where defenders outnumber opponents, create a comfort zone for themselves, and switch off, mentally.

		DAVOR SUKER’S latest goal poaching heroics and a glowing testimony to his predatory talent from manager Arsene Wenger may still not be enough to earn him a place in Arsenal’s starting line up for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Barcelona.
		Suker struck twice in seven second half minutes to wipe out Everton 4 1 at Highbury on Saturday in a glorious display of attacking football by Wenger’s team that would have struck fear into the spies from Barcelona in the stand.
		Suker said: ‘‘many people in Spain thought Barcelona would have no problem with Arsenal when we played them in the Nou Camp but now they’ve seen what we can do.

	Golden Boot? -- Davor Suker, Croatia
		Croatian striker Davor Suker has become the top scorer in the World Cup finals with his sixth goal of the tournament and seems set to win the golden boot.
		Suker, who had been level at the top of the scorer's list with five goals along with Gabriel Batistuta of Argentina and Christian Vieri of Italy, moved clear with the winning goal in Croatia's 2-1 victory last night over The Netherlands.
		For Suker's total to be overtaken, either a Brazilian or French player would have to score at least a hat-trick in today's final, a feat only achieved once before, by England's Geoff Hurst in 1966.

		DAVOR SUKER demonstrated the predatory skills that Alan Shearer now seems to find so elusive as he displayed poise, skill and a devastating finishing touch to help eradicate Arsenal's recent Premiership reverses.
		Suker was one, having played for Croatia against the Republic of Ireland, but he was given his first start since joining Arsenal because Kanu was on the bench with a slight thigh injury.
		There was some menace to Suker's play and an angled shot from the right tested James, whose response was a clean catch low at his near post.

		Suker's shot with his trusty left foot brushed past goalkeeper Koshikatsu Kawaguchi after a pass from Aljosa Asanovic had been blocked and then stabbed through again.
		This time even Suker, who had wasted a number of chances, could not miss and the lengthy Croatian celebrations were those of an aging side on the brink of exhaustion.
		Suker was always a threat, but for long passages of the game the Japanese kept the ball moving around the Croatian half, orchestrated by the red-haired playmaker Hidetoshi Nakata.

		With the imminent departure of Nicolas Anelka, Arsene Wenger moved quickly to bolster his attacking options with the purchase of Davor Suker for a bargain fee of £1 million.
		Suker's stay at Highbury proved to be a short-lived one as he struggled to claim a regular place with Kanu, Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry ahead of him in the pecking order.
		Suker's Arsenal career was to end in disappointment as the Gunners went down on penalties to Galatasary in the final of the UEFA Cup with the Croatian missing one of the spot-kicks.

		For Suker, there was the consolation in defeat of going joint top of the goal standings with Argentina's Gabriel Batistuta and Italy's Christian Vieri -- not bad work for someone who spent much of the season on the substitutes' bench at Real to go briefly from being Sukerman to Sukersub.
		Barely a minute after Davor Suker had put the Croatians in front, Boban was caught in possession by Lilian Thuram, who advanced to thunder home the leveller.
		Suker's first spot kick found the net, but he was ordered to take the penalty again after one of his teammates was adjudged to have encroached into the area.

		For many - Robert Prosinecki, Robert Jarni and Davor Suker spring to mind - their international careers began with Yugoslavia - all three featured in the Yugoslav under-21 side that won the 1987 World Cup under the stewardship of Mirko Jozic, now in charge of Croatia.
		Watched by Croatia's wartime president Franjo Tudjman Suker stunned the crowd by scoring what would be the only goal conceded in open play by France in the entire tournament only for an error by Zvonimir Boban to allow Lilian Thuram to equalise immediately.
		Suker's role as spearhead up front is now taken over by Middlesbrough Alen Boksic who has always had an eye for goal, Ivica Olic is also a prolific scorer while Lecce's Davor Vugrinec has proved a frequent marksman in Serie A. Milan Rapajc, who plays his club football with Turkey's Fenerbahce, offers another option.
