World Cup Scorer

One player in history has scored (not including ogs) for two countries at the soccer World Cup finals. Who is he, and for which countries did he score for?

I guess it may be a Croatian player, formerly yugoslavian? I heard this before but cant think of the the name... dammit
I'll have to google or it'll wreak my head, i'll leave it for someone else with better memory!

I reckon it might be an older player. In the 1930s there were a few players who played for both Argentina and Italy, and even more recently Alfredo di Stefano played for Argentina, Colombia and Spain.

As far as I know that's the only one. Croatia in France and Yugo in Italy.

Yup, Prosinecki, Croatia and Yugoslavia. Di Stefano never played at a World Cup, neither for Spaon nor Argentina
