Davor Šuker

Davor Šuker is, to me, the definition of a national treasure. His golden boot at the 1998 World Cup didn't just win him personal glory, it carried a newly independent Croatia to a stunning third place that announced the country to the football world. With 45 goals he remains his nation's all-time top scorer, and his instinct in front of goal was simply genius. That he later led the Croatian Football Federation as president shows a man willing to shoulder his country off the pitch too. Honored in his hometown of Osijek, he stays rooted, and I respect that enormously.
