Slavisa "Steve" Zungul (born July 28, 1954 in
Yugoslavia) is a Croatia|Croat soccer player, who
spent most of his career playing in the United
States.

Zungul played for the Golden Bay Earthquakes of
the North American Soccer League in 1983 and 1984,
winning the NASL Most Valuable Player Award|NASL
MVP Award in 1984, the league's last season. 
Zungul registered 20 goals and 10 assists in 24
games that season, but could not keep the
Earthquakes out of the bottom of the Western
Conference.

Besides playing outdoors in the NASL, Zungul was
clearly one of the best players in American indoor
soccer throughout the 80's.

Zungul led the MISL in scoring in 1980, after
finishing second in 1979, while playing for the
New York Arrows in both seasons.  Zungul would
dominate the league for the next four years,
leading the league in scoring each year from 1980
to 1983.  After focusing on the NASL for a year in
1984, he returned to the MISL to lead the league
again in 1985 and 1986.  It was not until 1987
that his run finally came to a close, as another
indoor luminary, the Dallas Sidekicks' Tatu
(soccer)|Tatu, took Zungul's place at the top of
the scoring charts.  Zungul was also named the
league's MVP from 1979-1982, and then again in
1985 and 1986.

Zungul earned 14 caps for Yugoslavia national
football team|Yugoslavia and played in 1976
