Gjergji Shule, or "Gergoja". 31 years in Thessaloniki, how much he misses football

Without going, there is no future, no identity, and fortunately, there has been a whole constellation of footballers in Skënderbeu. One of them is Gjergji Shule or as everyone knows him, Gjergoja.

Look at the picture below, it has the number five on his jersey.

The boy from Korça, who gave a lot for this team, started his career in Korçë, seeing his talent, the Partizan team immediately took him where he played football for two years. Then, at the age of 23, he returned to Korça and played for this team until 1970. He is already 80 years old, but the sport has kept him as a young man.

We met him in Thessaloniki, where he has been living since 1992. When he remembers football, he sees Skenderbeu's team with tears in his eyes. When we asked him about what he has given, he started and talked more about his friends, forgetting about himself. That's how Gjergoja remained, that's how everyone remembers him. There was another icon, Jani Kaçi, who declared about him: "A potent football player with a shot that is rarely seen even today, but above all a very good person. I was at Partizan when Gjergoja left, but what impressed me was the fact that all the footballers spoke of him with respect".

The organizing midfielder, at whose feet every ball was caressed, was the soul of the scarification in the game. Ubiquitous, the spirit of sacrifice in the team. He has scored many goals in his career, but unfortunately it seems that you are sometimes forgotten. But no, good people and football players will always be in the memory of sports fans.

Thank you Gjergo, for everything and for this Korça, for this Skenderbe. Everyone wants to see you once again in the stadium, everyone wants to wish you a long life. Our "Korça Boom" portal also wishes you: May you always have good luck, health and a long life.
