Kemajl Avdiu (born 22 December 1976) is a Swedish former footballer.

Career

England

Continuing his career at Bury from Esbjerg fB, Avdiu stayed with the Shakers until 2000,[19] totaling 27 appearances and one goal.

Meanwhile, his family was trying to survive the Kosovo War (1998-1999), afraid to leave due to the threat of the Yugoslavian army.[20] His family, including himself supported the NATO bombing of the country,[20] but some of his relatives had not been accounted for, even though most fled to Albania. The then 22-year old, feeling fortunate to be safe, also expressed concern for his Austria-based friend who was thinking of enrolling in the Kosovo Liberation Army.[21]

When the conflict was over, Avdiu hoped that his parents would retire in Kosovo.[20]

Scotland

Loaned out to Partick Thistle from April to May 1999, the Swede put the Jags 2-0 up over East Fife on debut, but they came back 2-2. Despite this, he remained a fans' favorite.[22] The day before, he volunteered to pack supplies to help people affected by the Kosovo War, expressing disquiet at the situation but also fortunate that there were many volunteers.[23]
