Colin Kazim-Richards

Colin Kazim-Richards - Columnist and Presenter at Football Park

Known across the world for his exploits at both club and international level, Colin enjoyed a stellar career which saw him play on three different continents, donning the colours of a multitude of world-renowned clubs.

Starting his career at Bury FC, Kazim-Richards quickly made his way up the footballing ladder, ending up at Premier League side Sheffield United in the 2006/07 season, in which he scored one goal. Here, his journey truly began; the next eight years saw him sign for six different clubs, ranging from Fenerbahçe and Olympiakos to Toulouse and Bursaspor.

The final eight years of his career would see him travel even further afield - he would take to the field for Dutch giants Feyenoord, Scottish juggernauts Celtic, and Championship side Derby County, and would even venture as far as Brazilian sides Coritiba and Corinthians, as well as the Mexican trio of Lobos BUAP, Pachuca, and Veracruz.

He would finish his career back in his homeland at Fatih Karagumruk in his homeland of Turkey, for whom he earned 37 caps, scored two goals, and was part of the historic side that dramatically battled to the semi-finals of the 2008 European Championships.

Across a career spanning 19 years, the striker/winger would earn eight winners' medals, winning three Turkish Super Cups, the Greek Super League, the Scottish Premiership, the Brazilian Serie and the Brazilian Campeonato Paulista on two occasions.

Now retired, Colin is a regular host of the Football Park podcast, as well as a columnist, bringing fascinating insight and untold stories with his experience as an ex-professional.
