Ivica Mornar
Ivica Mornar is a Croatian football (soccer) player, born in 1974. He currently plays in England for Portsmouth F.C.
Mornar began his career with Hajduk Split before going on to play for Eintracht Frankfurt, Sevilla, Orense and Standard Liege, then moved to Anderlecht in the summer of 2001.
Mornar had enjoyed Champions League football in the months running up to his move to Fratton Park, scoring in a 1-1 draw at home to Bayern Munich.
The player was offered a new two-year contract by Anderlecht, but opted to move across the English Channel to Portsmouth F.C.
Mornar moved to the Premiership at the end of January 2004 for £500,000, signing a two-and-half-year deal.
Mornar made his Pompey debut in a goalless draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., and looked lively. He then bagged his first and only goal in the next game against Tottenham Hotspur F.C..
The striker was a regular member of the Croatia squad which qualified for the finals of Euro 2004 after beating Slovenia in the play-offs, and was named in Croatia's squad for the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.
Seemingly out of the picture at Portsmouth, he was loaned to Stade Rennais FC for the 2004/05 season.
