My Take
Nikola Pokrivač represents the type of footballer I quietly value most: the unglamorous midfield workhorse. Croatia is famous for its flair players, yet sides only function because of men like him doing the running and the dirty work at 185 cm in the engine room. I'm always drawn to the figures who hold a team together without headlines. His passing in 2025, before he reached 40, feels far too soon, and it lends his career a poignancy. I'd rather remember the steady, committed servant of Croatian football than chase the stars; that is the legacy I think deserves preserving.
