A cloud that followed Davor Šuker during his stay at the club. 45 goals in 69 internationals, the Croatian top scored at the 1998 World Cup. He netted 46 goals in 106 games for Real Madrid.

His one season at Arsenal saw him scored just seven in 35 appearances, largely against poor opposition. He also missed a penalty in the UEFA Cup Final loss to Galatasaray.

Already in his thirties and unable to adapt to England (as the following year at West Ham further proved), Šuker was yet another mishit.
