Despite being born in Yugoslavia to Kosovan Albanian parents, Kuqi grew up in Finland and holdsFinnish citizenshipwhich allowed him to represent theFinland national teamat international level, for which he scored eight goals in 62 appearances between 1999 and 2010. His trademark goal celebration of swallow-diving onto the ground has led to his nickname of the "Flying Finn".

Early life

edit

Kuqi started his youth career atTrepça,and he played several games for the youth team, but he and his family later moved to Finland asKosovar Albanianimmigrants.[2]

Club career

edit

Kuqi started his playing career with Kangasniemen Palloseura. He later played for Mikkelin Kissat,Mikkelin Palloilijat,HJKandFC Jokeritin Finland'sVeikkausliiga.Kuqi played in theUEFA Champions Leaguein the autumn of 1998 with HJK. Kuqi was the league top scorer in the 2000 season, representing FC Jokerit. Having played for three clubs in Finland's Veikkausliiga, Kuqi became more well known, leading to his transfer toStockport County.

Stockport County

edit

Kuqi joined Stockport County in January 2001. Kuqi made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw againstTranmere Roverson 3 February 2001. Regarded by many as the saviour of County's 2000–01 season as he impressed with his speed and strength, he went on to score six goals in eighteen games to help County retain their division one status. Kuqi is still the club's second most internationally capped player. However, under player-managerCarlton Palmer,after he succeededAndy Kilneras manager, Kuqi was used less frequently. His good performances led him being linked with his future clubBlackburn.[3]Kuqi was on the verge of joining Blackburn worth about a £1.2 million fee, but the move broke down and he accused Palmer of threatening him to be sacked for being injured[4]Palmer was responsible for pressuringGraeme Sounessfor Kuqi not joining the club. Kuqi still maintains his accusations towards Palmer, claiming his management is 'clueless' and feels the club made a mistake having Palmer as manager.[5]Kuqi joined Blackburn Rovers four years later.

Sheffield Wednesday

edit

Kuqi joinedSheffield Wednesdayand signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed sum, rumoured to be €1.5 million[6]Kuqi made his debut for the club in a 1–0 win overCreweon 12 January 2002. AtSheffield Wednesdayhe scored 19 times between January 2002 and September 2003, unfortunately with Wednesday being relegated toDivision Two(or League One as it is now known) during his time at Hillsborough. Many Wednesday fans were bemused though at then manager Chris Turner's decision to let Kuqi leave for Ipswich for free after a strained relationship between the two.[7]Whilst in Sheffield, Kuqi also scored a goal againstSheffield UnitedinThe Steel City Derby.He scored the second goal in the 81st minute atHillsboroughto ensure a win afterLloyd Owusuhad opened the scoring with his very first touch of the ball on his debut.[8]

Ipswich Town

edit

In September 2003, Kuqi joinedIpswich Townon loan.[9]After making 11 appearances and scoring 4 goals, Kuqi joined Ipswich Town permanently in November despite late interest from Town's rivalNorwich City.[10]For the next two seasons at Ipswich Town, Kuqi became a regular in the first team and able to score goals. He scored 20 goals in theChampionshipfor Ipswich in the2004–05season, which made him the club's leading top scorer, along withDarren Bent.By the end of the season with his contract at Ipswich Town coming to an end, Kuqi rejected the offer of a new contract with the club.[11]

Blackburn Rovers

edit

His form with Ipswich earned him a move to the Premier League withBlackburn.[12]Kuqi made his debut in a 3–1 loss againstWest Ham Unitedon 13 September 2005 and scored his first goal of the Premier League and scored again in a 2–0 win overWest Bromon 1 October 2005. After the match, managerMark Hughespraised Kuqi for his two-goal performance.[13]Kuqi then scored his second brace of the season in a 2–0 win overMiddlesbroughon 26 December 2005. During the season, Kuqi struggled to command a first team place and found himself on the bench.[14]

Kuqi scored seven Premier League goals for Blackburn in the2005–06season, but couldn't replicate his form from his time at Ipswich Town. During the following season Kuqi struggled to break into the first team and made only one appearance, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 loss against Portsmouth. Six years later, Kuqi revealed he almost joinedCeltic,but the club instead opted to signJan Vennegoor of Hesselink.[15]

Crystal Palace

edit

He joinedCrystal Palacefor a reported £2.5 million transfer fee at the end of the August transfer window in 2006.[16]On his move, Kuqi admits he was surprised by Blackburn when he was sold to Crystal Palace[17]and made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw againstLuton Town.

Kuqi did not have a prolific first season atSelhurst Park,scoring only seven goals in 38 games, and at the end of August 2007, he signed forFulhamon a four-month loan deal, where he made ten league appearances, scoring no goals.[18]

Kuqi was placed on the transfer list and fined two weeks wages byNeil Warnockafter signalling anoffensive gestureto Palace fans when they cheered as he was substituted following a particularly poor performance in the 2–0 defeat againstWolverhampton Wandererson 23 February 2008.[19][20]Other reasons behind him being transfer listed were due to his weight gain and lack of fitness and Warnock told Kuqi there will be no way back for him[21]

In March 2008, Kuqi returned to Ipswich on loan until the end of the season[22]to fill in for the injuredJonathan Waltersbut failed to reproduce his form at Ipswich Town. He began the 2008–09 campaign with his first team prospects seemingly irretrievable but Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock named (and used) him as a substitute for the away draw at Ipswich Town and home victory overCharltonin September and on 4 October he scored the second goal of Palace's 2–0 victory atNottingham Forest.Kuqi's return to the first team completed a remarkable sequence of events, and he ended his season as the top scorer of his team. Kuqi was offered a new contract on 27 January 2009 which he rejected.[23]By the end of the season, Kuqi was offered a new contract again along with 5 other players[24]but a few months later, Warnock said he was expecting Kuqi to leave.[25]

TuS Koblenz

edit

After Kuqi's contract ran out at Crystal Palace on 1 July 2009, he signed a two years deal withTuS Koblenzwhich was his first non-England club since 2001, and the first German club in his career. He also spent half a season playing with his brother,Njazi Kuqi.

Swansea City

edit

Kuqi signed forSwansea Cityon a free transfer fromTuS Koblenzon 25 January 2010.[26]He made his debut for the club in a 0–0 draw againstCoventry Cityand scored his first goal for Swansea in a 1–0 win at former club Crystal Palace on 9 February 2010.[27]

Despite scoring seven goals in 16 starts, after less than nine months at Swansea, Kuqi joined fellow Championship sideDerby Countyon a three-month emergency loan deal on 13 September 2010.[28]His first Derby goal, in his third appearance, also, came againstCrystal Palacein a 5–0 Derby victory atPride Park.After latching onto a sloppy stray backpass from former-Derby defenderClaude Davisto complete the rout with a goal Kuqi joked that the strike was "the worst of the five!"[29]On 26 January 2011 Kuqi's contract with Swansea was terminated by mutual consent after he failed to break through into the first team.[30]After being released by the club, Kuqi was linked with joiningHuddersfield Town[31]

Newcastle United

edit

On 10 February 2011, Kuqi joined Premier League sideNewcastle Unitedfor the remainder of the season.[32]He was given the number 42 shirt[33]and made his debut against former clubBlackburn Roverson 12 February 2011 coming on in the 90th minute in a goalless draw.[34]On his move, Kuqi admitted he was surprised to join the club[35]but admitted that he was 'one of the happiest footballers in the world'[36]

He was released on 25 May 2011 after making six appearances, all as a substitute, without scoring.[37]

Oldham Athletic

edit

In August 2011, following his release by Newcastle, Kuqi signed a one-year contract withOldham Athletic.[38]The signing was considered as something of a coup for the Latics, as Kuqi was playing in thePremier League,the previous season.[39][40]He scored early in his first game for his new club in a home game against local rivalsHuddersfield Townin a 1–1 draw and celebrated with his trademark Flying Finn celebration in front of the away fans.[41]Kuqi made it two goals in two games for Oldham with a headed goal againstStevenage.[42]Kuqi scored his third for Oldham againstLeyton Orientin a 3–1 victory; he scored the equalising goal and assisted the other two goals in a 3–1 victory.[43]Kuqi was on target again against the MK Dons in October 2011 taking advantage of a mistake by the MK Dons goalkeeper to help Athletic to a 2–1 victory. Kuqi added another two goals to his tally after scoring twice againstCrewe Alexandrain the quarter-finals of theFootball League Trophyto help Oldham progress to the semi-final of the tournament with a 3–1 victory, withLuca Scapuzzialso getting on the scoresheet.[44]

Kuqi left the club following the expiry of his contract on 1 July 2012 as the club could not afford to keep him for the 2012–13 campaign.[45]

Hibernian

edit

In August 2012, Kuqi signed a one-year deal withScottish Premier League(SPL) teamHibernian,with a further option.[46]On his move, Kuqi said the passion of the fans (Hibernian) convinced him to join the club after he was in the stands to see anEdinburgh derby.[47]On 18 August 2012, Kuqi made his debut, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 win againstSt Mirren.Kuqi made only two starting appearances for Hibs during his season with the club and failed to score a goal in 14 total appearances.[48]He was described byBBC Sportas being one of the worst signings in the SPL that season.[48]

Goal celebration

edit

Kuqi has received some media attention – especially fromMatch of the Day– for his spectacular, and unusual, diving goal celebration known as a Swan Dive. Kuqi jumps forward with both arms out, in what could be described as an attempt to glide like a bird, before crashing to the ground; the movement bears some resemblance to abellyflopand has been referred to as a "Flying Finn".[51]
