As the club starts to plan a slow return back to the pitch, the focus is now on trying to recognise everyone after 3 months of untamed hair growth, lack of sunlight, and varying levels of ‘corona-fitness’. However at least with the Vienna Gaels Player Profiles you are guaranteed to learn more about a few members of the club in great detail. Let’s get to know Dunja.
Name: Dunja Sustic
Age: 31
From: Zagreb, Croatia.
How did you end up in Vienna?
I came to Vienna as an Erasmus student, loved it, and moved here.
Favourite place to eat in Vienna?
Charlie P’s of course – otherwise I would say Spanish tapas; Puerta del Sol.
How did you get involved with Vienna Gaels?
One of the regulars in Charlie P’s introduced me to Irish football.
What sport do you play, and what other sport would you try?
I play Gaelic football, mostly defence. I would try handball.
What teammate would you pick to be with in quarantine?
Lucy and Nives, they can handle the craic 🙂
Did you pick up any lockdown hobbies?
Yes I did. Started baking, and now I can make a badass carrot cake.
What is your favourite snack?
Radishes and spring onions
What are you looking forward to this summer?
Going home finally and enjoying holidays on the coast.
What is your secret skill?
I trained professionally at table tennis for 7 years.
Dunja has already made a big impact with the ladies football team since she started playing. We look forward to seeing her in action at the next football competition, and before then, maybe at the next Vienna Gaels table tennis competition…
