Hrvoje Ćustić

In memoriam

Croatian Football Player Ćustić started his professional career with his youth club NK Zadar in 2000 and also spent two seasons playing for NK Zagreb between 2005 and 2007, before returning to Zadar in the summer of 2007 on a four-year contract. Between 2004 and 2005, he also played for the Croatian national under-21 team, winning a total of 7 international caps for the team. In the opening minutes of his club's home match against HNK Cibalia in the Croatian first division on 29 March 2008, Ćustić suffered severe head injuries after colliding with a concrete wall positioned about three metres from the sideline, supporting the fence which separates the pitch from the stands. Seconds before, Ćustić tried to win a loose ball in a duel with an opposing player, but then both players collided and Ćustić was carried into the wall, hitting it with his head. His condition immediately worsened and in the early afternoon of 3 April 2008 he died.
