Rachid Peter Harkouk[1] (born 19 May 1956) is a former professional footballer who played as a forward. Born in England, he represented the Algeria national team at international level.[2]
Harkouk was born in England to an Algerian father and English mother of Welsh descent.[3] He appeared for Algeria at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, coming on as a substitute for Rabah Madjer in their opening game against Northern Ireland.[4] He did not feature against Brazil but was the lone striker against Spain.[5] During that game, he sustained a knee injury that ended his career.[6]
After his retirement from football, Harkouk became a businessman in the village of Burton Joyce.[7] In August 2011, he was jailed for 28 months for conspiring to supply illegal drugs.[8]
