Suker sues former club
SEVILLE (Spain): Croatian striker Davor Suker said here
on Tuesday he had sued FC Seville for 50 million pesetas
(US$255,000) which he claims the Spanish club owes him.
FC Seville vice-president Augusto Lahore said they had
tried hard to find an out-of-court settlement with the
striker, hero of Croatia's run to third place in the 1998
World Cup.
The West Ham player said: "Everybody knows I love Seville
and I left them as much time as I could. At the end I still
have not received anything. You have to understand that
I played a whole year in 1996 without being payed.
"That strikes me as unfair and because of that the matter
is now before the courts.''
Suker, known as Sukerman for his goalscoring prowess,
was at Seville from 1991 to 1996. The club was
relegated to the Spanish second division last season.--AFP
