Shefki Kuqi[a] (pronounced [ˈʃɛfkiˈkuci]; born 10 November 1976) is a Finnish football manager of Kosovar club Feronikeli, and former professional footballer of Albanian descent, who played predominantly as a striker.
He spent most of his career in the English football league system, for clubs including Newcastle United, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich Town, Blackburn Rovers, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Swansea City and Oldham Athletic. He made over 500 career league appearances, scoring over 150 goals.
Kuqi also represented the Finland national football team at international level, with eight goals from 62 appearances. His trademark goal celebration of swallow-diving onto the ground has led to his nickname of the "Flying Finn".
