Planet World Cup - Mike Gibbons (Columnist) May 21 2005 (2186 words)
The currency of football is goals and what the golden boot does mean is that for one summer, should you have been lucky enough to win it, you were in the right place at the right time more than any other player, which is exactly what being a striker is all about.
Croatia made their first appearance in the World Cup in 1998, and their eventual third placed finish was largely due to the inspired form of Davor Suker.
Sharing the golden boot with Salenko (and it's a safe bet this really got under his skin) was Hristo Stoichkov, the charismatic, maniacal forward from Bulgaria.
