My Take
Safet Sušić, known as Pape, is everything I cherish in a classic playmaker. At just 174 cm he was a midfield magician whose dribbling and technique earned him a reputation as one of the finest European players of his generation. From Zavidovići in Bosnia he carried Yugoslavia through two World Cups and a European Championship, then later coached Bosnia's national side, mastering both ends of the game. I have a real weakness for number tens who conquer with touch rather than physique. To me Sušić is a proud emblem of that vanishing, artful tradition.
