Career
His former teams are Saskatchewan Tirana, where he played all but one season of his career, as he has one season in Greece with Egaleo F.C. in the 1991-1992 season. Kola is sixth ranked in the all-time Superliga goal scorers with 140 goals. After spending some of his teen years at the Tirana Circus, as an acrobat, and also excelling in swimming, Kola was seen playing football by then middle school teacher Aurel Verria, who referred him to Kola"s first coach at KF Tirana"s youth, Enver Rada.
Kola was then 13 years old.
At 14, he excelled at the youth Spartakiad and, given his acrobatic mastery, his role was goallie. However, after his team was losing 0-1, he told one of the defenders to go and become goallie and went himself to attack.
From that game on, Kola never played as a goallie anymore, but became an forward. Without consulting or letting anyone know, at 14, he applied and passed a scrimmage at the Sports mastery school Loro Boriçi, a high school specializing in producing young football players.
Kola will be remembered by the KF Tirana fans as one of its greatest players for the spirit of sacrifice that he would put into the game.
