Who was the football legend Fadil Vokrri, who died today (Photo)

Former representative of many internationally recognised teams, Fadil Vokri, today, died in Pristina on 9 June. Vokrri was born on July 23rd 1960 in the village of Sfechel in the Podujevo municipality. It is known as the “Albanian football legend” and remains the most popular and worshiped football player in Kosovo. In the 1980s Fadil Vokrri reached the peak of his career. He [...]
In the 1980s Fadil Vokrri reached the peak of his career. He started his football career with Podujevo's KF Llap and later went through. KF Pristina played for a period even with Belgrade's KF Partizan. He was able to get even more into his career.


In 1987 the Juventus football club was interested in it and proposed signing a several-year contract. In that year Fadil Vokry was praised as the best football player of the year in Yugoslavia. Miroslav Blazevic, the KF Pristina coach, praised Fadil Vokrin as the best centre attacker in Yugoslavia. At that time, however, Fadil Vokrri was called upon to perform compulsory military service. Under Yugoslav law, Yugoslav athletes could not play outside Yugoslavia if they had not performed mandatory military service before the age of 27.

During the period of military service, he played for Belgrade's KF Partizan. Fadil Vokrrit was then proposed to play for Zagreb's Dinamo as well. Fadil Vokry explains why he decided to play for KF Partizan and not Dinamo of Zagreb: “specifically “Partizan”, has been the first team to have expressed interest in me. The reason to switch to “Partizan”, first has established the Pristina-Belgrade mileage proximity, then, as the former Yugoslavia's world is known, “Partizan”, has had many sympathies in Kosovo, because this team always had some Albanians active in the club. For the outlook “Partizan” has had Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia, three main centres for recruiting players. I as a child, like any of my peers, was a fan of Belgrade's “Partizan”, which means. like most Kosovars, so these were the reasons I spent among the “Partizan team”. The terms this team had offered me were very good, and it was also “Prishtina”, with my transfer to “Partizan”, it's not so bad for “ ”, so all of the components were fulfilled for me to become a player of the “Partizan” team. I've had a great time on this team, but no different provocations have been missed. Like. the world when Trepca miners entered the mosque, TV Vesti from Belgrade, on the Albanian-language show at five o'clock, invited me to call, so that the miners could get out of the zgaffle (this is the first time I'm making it public), I've been shown two-three times different political-space names, but I told them I don't deal with politics and that they're politicians who can call ...” > Wikipedia/Fadil Vorkri”, broadcast Periscopi.


Before the match with Bulgaria. 1985.
But in this same period (1984-1987) Vorkri was a member of the state representation, for which there were 12 presentations and 6 scored goals. From these matches I remember that of 14,10.1987, at the <x0... Sarajevo's Grbavica”, which “blue” had won 3:0 in front of Northern Ireland, in which I Fadil Vokri had scored two super goals (12) and 3450 I was the football player.
The entire public at the stadium called on my name, so I could execute that penalty and do the <x0thheat-tric”, but I didn't want to write the penalty myself, and I was left with two goals, while Faruk Hadzibegic (74)” carried out the penalty.
And in 1990 to 1992 Vorkri enjoyed the Turkish championship by being a member of Fenerbahce (53 matches 19 goals).
From this time on, Vorkri recalls: “To play in the Turkish and team championships from Istanbul means to experience the intense excitement of football people as well as fans. Football in Turkey at the time has been important, as much as religion. I remember Fenerbahce vs Gimaresh's two matches under the U Cup The EFA out of which we came the winner, while I've scored a goal in two <x1 matches.
The Fenerbahce énerbahce vitriria Giumarech was held within the first lap of the UEFA Cup, the 1990/1991 edition, which Fenerbahce, that world led by Dutch coach Guss Hiddddnik, with German goalkeeper Tony Schumacher in the gate, of Fadil Vokrin in the attack, had won 3:0. First goal was marked by Wickry in the minute 34. The return match again has won Fenerbahce with a score of 3:2. Even at this match again, he scored a goal Fadil Vokrri and again first goal, in the sixth minute.
Fadhil told us that at the time clubs from Turkey were not easily passing UEFA races, so this has been a big party in Istanbul.
The last four years of his active career as footballer, Fadil Vokrri again spent in France playing for Bouggas (1992/93) and Montlucon (1993/95), where he has also completed his active football career.


Fadil Vokri belongs to the so-called “Pristina's Golden Generies” and from the same generation, as well as from many of the most connoisseurs and sports lovers in general, and football in particular Fadil Vokri is considered the living “gent” of Kosovo football and football that exceeds the size of a common attacker.
Fadil Vokrri was extraordinary. It was special, it was his team's choice, and it was the enigma for the opposing team. Fadil Vokrri, as you can see from the statistics, has a significant number of targeted goals, but his greater capacity and value to that world have been his assistants to his fellow players. Fadhil has been such at the stage of the attack that with his continued creativity in the game he has always served at the best moment to score a goal.


I was just saying that on every team that Fadil Vokrri played, he made a remarkable goaloceress who received this epithet only because of the wonderful assistance Fadhil made. After all, Fadhil's associates were often quite free because there were always about two football players - often three and four!

In addition to the successes as football players, he has been elected as chairman of the Kosovo Football Federation and has been one of the biggest managers Kosovo representative has been admitted to FIFA. /Periscopi/
