Bayern Munich attacker Ivica Olic has been rewarded for his fine form in 2009 by being voted Croatian Footballer of the Year in an election organised by Croatian newspaper Vecernji List.
The energetic attacker finished ahead of players such as Shakhtar Donetsk's Darijo Srna and Tottenham pair Luka Modric and Niko Kranjcar in the poll.
Olic impressed at Hamburger SV in the first half of 2009 with a number of vintage performances, helping the club to the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal and the UEFA Cup.
The 30-year-old earned himself a transfer to Bayern Munich with his fine displays at HSV and didn't waste any time in making an impact with the Bavarians, either. Olic is an undisputed first team member at Bayern and has scored six goals in 14 Bundesliga games so far.
However, Olic's dream to take part at the 2010 World Cup was dealt a huge blow when the Croatians failed to qualify for the tournament in South Africa. Both England and Ukraine proved to be too strong for Croatia in their qualification group.
