My Take
Kuka is a name that warms my heart. A Prague-born forward of the golden Czech generation, he scored 29 goals in 87 caps and helped power that stunning run at EURO 96. What I admire most is how he made his name in the Bundesliga with Kaiserslautern through sheer grit rather than flash. At 180 cm he was no towering target man, yet he threw himself forward relentlessly. To me he embodies the unglamorous, hungry striker who earns goals through will, and that earns my deep respect far more than any highlight reel.
