Tonči Gabrić (11 November 1961 – 28 October 2024) was a Croatian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

[edit]

Gabrić started his career in RNK Split. He played for Čelik Zenica before moving to HNK Rijeka where he was the team captain. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, he played in Greece with PAOK, before returning to Croatia where he played for Pazinka for a season, before ending his career at Hajduk Split.

International career

[edit]

Gabrić made his debut for Croatia in an October 1990 friendly match against the United States, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for Dražen Ladić. As Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia at the time, the game is deemed unofficial. He earned a total of nine caps (two of them unofficial). He was the regular reserve goalkeeper of the national team between 1990 and 1997 and was part of the Euro 1996 squad. His final international was the September 1997 World Cup qualification match away against Denmark.

Personal life and death

[edit]

His son Drago is also a footballer, as is his twin sister Paškvalina who has earned 10 caps for the national team.

Gabrić died in Split on 28 October 2024, at the age of 62.[1]
