CATCHING UP WITH...

CATCKHINNrGanUiPjkcoWarITH…

The first time we welcomed a German side to N17 in the Champions League,
NIKO KRANJCAR was in action in Lilywhite. We caught up with the former Croatia
international to reflect on his time in north London and find out what is he up to now…

gracing the White Hart Lane pitch.
A cultured midfielder, technically gifted and with quality from

a dead-ball situation, Niko spent three years with us between
2009 and 2012 and, despite only making 70 appearances for us,
he became something of a crowd favourite.

Having begun his career with Dinamo Zagreb in his homeland
of Croatia, incredibly scoring on his league debut at the age of
just 16, Niko quickly became a star of his country’s national
team and made a name for himself with his showings at the
2006 World Cup. Those performances ultimately earned him
a move to the Premier League as he joined Harry Redknapp’s
Portsmouth later that summer – his league debut for Pompey
coincidentally came at the Lane in the October.

And that was the start of an incredibly bright spell for the
midfielder and Pompey as they went on to lift the FA Cup the
following year which also saw them qualify for European football
for the first time. During that period, Niko also scored that infa-
mous long-range strike against England at Wembley for Croatia
which saw the Three Lions miss out on a place at Euro 2008.

Then, come the summer of 2009, the midfielder was on his
way to north London where a strong contingent of Croatians
was growing. Already in our ranks were the likes of Luka Modric
and Vedran Corluka with Stipe Pletikosa still to come – an
unprecedented number of Croatia internationals at a single
Premier League team. And that group became part of one of
our greatest sides in the modern era as, in 2010, we qualified for
the Champions League for the first time.

“It was a really, really great move for me,” Niko recalled as
he reflected on joining us in 2009. “Obviously, I had my national

Desiring first-team football, Niko moved on to Dynamo Kyiv
in the summer of 2012 for a new challenge, however, despite
clearly having fond memories of his time in Ukraine, the
midfielder admits he struggled to settle in eastern Europe. A
year later, he was back in the Premier League to link up again
with Harry Redknapp at QPR.

wearing our kit had appeared in a television
commercial. In 1976, Pat Jennings – wearing

a schoolboy footballer, Pat invited Tony to
“try your luck” with a shot of his own. Tony
stopped to have a bowl of cereal before
taking to the field and collecting a pass. He
accidently fell on the ball, which sent it into

There was also a comfortable win
for Atletico Madrid, who cruised to
a 4-0 win in Spain against Maltese
outfit Hibernians and finished the
job with a 1-0 victory in the return. The
tightest tie of the round was played
out between Napoli and Ujpest
Dozsa from Hungary. The Italian
side struggled past Bangor City in
the preliminary round, losing 2-0 in
Wales before turning it around with a
3-1 win in Naples. With no away goals
rule back then, it meant a play-off to
decide who progressed, with Napoli
edging through 2-1 on home soil. And
they needed another play-off to get
past Ujpest in the first round after
both matches had finished 1-1. Again,
the decider was played in Naples and
home advantage counted once more,
Napoli winning 3-1.

With his insight into German football, SPURSPLAY
commentator ROB DALY is perfectly placed to give his
lowdown on tonight’s opponents…

With “Die Adler” struggling, they brought in
a new head coach. It was the first in a series
of understated and shrewd moves that has
turned them from inconsistent strugglers to
Champions League competitors.

Niko Kovać arrived to, firstly, save the
club from the drop. Nürnberg were beaten
in a fraught relegation/promotion play-off.

Within a year, Frankfurt were in a German

Adi Hütter stepped in to replace him from
Swiss side Young Boys and guided Eintracht
to seventh, ninth and fifth-place finishes. A
run to the Europa League semi-finals in
2019, losing to eventual winners Chelsea on
penalties, was a notable highlight.

In 2021, Hütter departed to Borussia
Monchengladbach and in came Oliver
Glasner. The Austrian had done well at
Wolfsburg, but few could have predicted
he’d guide his side on a remarkable march
to Europa League glory.
