INFO:
Skuhravý was a centre forward. His career began in 1982 at Sparta Praha, where he played until 1990, scoring 61 goals in 154 matches. He played for RH Cheb between 1984 and 1986. He transferred to Genoa in 1990 and scored 67 times in 185 games until he left in 1995. He's one of Genoa's top scorers and the one who scored the most in Serie A with the Grifoni. He retired in 1997 after a very short spell at Sporting CP and one at Viktoria Žižkov, where he didn't play a single match. He gained 43 caps for Czechoslovakia and 6 for Czech Republic, scoring respectively 14 and 3 goals. He was the hero of the Czechoslovakia team at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where he scored five goals and led the team to the quarter final.
Skuhravý was an exuberant and strong striker, incredibly tall but also bulky. He definitely didn't have the physique of an athlete but could still do acrobatic things. Arguably one of the most prolific headers to ever step foot in Italy, he was highly effective inside the box, a great opportunist who was also gifted with an outstanding leap despite his heavy physique. His timing in front of the goal was also superb and most of the times he ancitipated defenders and goalkeeper. He was just unbeatable in the air. His scoring ability was also made of volleys and bycicle kicks, which again were amazing considering his size. He possessed decent speed and fine technique. He sometimes shot on goal after dribbling a defender or occasionally assisted a teammate with fast short passes, even though he mainly and unsurprisingly used the head to pass the ball. He's remembered also for his trademark celebration with a somersault.
