Davor Šuker is now a restaurant owner!
The greatest Croatian goal scorer of all time (45 goals in 69 matches) is opening a Croatian restaurant on Tropicana Blvd in Sin City, CroatiaWeek reports. Top Bar & Restaurant says it is the first and only Croatian cuisine restaurant in Las Vegas and the entire West Coast, serving authentic Croatian dishes, desserts and music.
Šuker is opening the restaurant with Sejo Kašić, a longtime friend who worked at the Bellagio for over two decades. Top Bar is located 3 miles west of the Vegas Strip. I’ll be in Vegas this weekend and will certainly check it out. I will report back to you all on:
- The food
- The vibe
- If Šuker is still pissed at me
Suker came off as a relatively kind, friendly, honest individual from the interviews I have seen. I don’t read Croatia gossip or news relating to lifestyle, corruption, etc. etc. Call me naive.
Bravo for him for being an entrepreneur and taking a risk. Hope he is successful.
I don’t think he made the kind of money in those days as the likes of Gvardiol, Kovacic, Modric, although it was probably pretty good as well, 25 years ago, better than a farmer or fisherman no doubt.
Will be a good place for Croatia musical talent to play in the future, if they come over seas.
Leicester 5-0
Here are the highlights

Fatawu hat trick plus assist (perfect 10 sofascore.com)
Enzo Maresca plays possession based football where holding the ball is everything (similar to Croatia)
Yet they often struggle to create offensive chances (similar to Croatia)
Fatawu has been their missing piece / spark plug – speedy direct winger – who can shoot – be direct – make runs – and pass the ball
There are similarities w/ Croatia in terms of style v-a-v Leicester – our missing piece / spark plug – is Marco Pasalic
Hopefully Dalic sees this (and is just keeping this close the the chest) – KBM in midfield together could work – as long as their are attacking options / threat in front of them
Would also note the Marco to Pjaca beautiful cross / headed goal last game
Suker was a great player but a horrible human being if I go I’ll do a dine and dash!
He seems like a nice guy actually.
He also always showed up for the National Team. It didn’t matter if we were playing a friendly or in a tournament, and who the opponent was. The guy was always available for us. No early retirement for him. He was available for us until we decided to move on.
This is a welcome change from guys like Caleta-Car, Sosa, Rakitic, and even Budimir who have all (at some point) made themselves unavailable for the National Team for various ridiculous reasons.
Suker has his vices (women, gambling, etc.) and I don’t think he was some kind of evil mastermind behind anything that went wrong at HNS (probably just a puppet at best). He’s not some perfect human being, but he’s not the worst human being out there.

We actually don’t know anything about Suker or anyone else’s private affairs anything beyond that is just gossip.
Gossip
1:Rumor or talk of a personal, sensational, or intimate nature.
2:A person who habitually spreads intimate or private rumours or facts.
3:Trivial, chatty talk or writing.
GO BACK TO BELGRADE 😉
I don’t know anything other than my experience with meeting him once, and he seemed pretty humble and nice. This was like 20 years ago.
I don’t know about any of the other stuff. Although I do respect the fact that he always showed up for us.

Enjoy

Also Southgate’s book gives his “insight” v-a-v Boksic at Middlesboro i.e. where he did his own thing

Zvuk golova, rekao sam.
Boban began it all years ago with his restaurant in ZG, then Dalic with his place in Varazdin and now this from Suker in the USA. Are there any others out there? It’s a shame that Broz won’t be opening a rakija and prsut bar in Saudi anytime soon.
That’s a good one
Epic broz’s prsut palace
I can see it now
