Blaise Isetsima Kufo (born 25 May 1975 in Kinshasa) is a Swiss football player of Congolese (DRC) origin. He currently plays as a striker for FC Twente in the Netherlands. On April 7th 2008 he signed a new contract that keeps him at the club until 2010.
[edit] Trivia
- His name is often incorrectly spelled N'Kufo. The birth name is Nkufo, but the player himself prefers the easier-to-pronounce form Kufo.[1][2]
"That N plus apostrophe has been created by someone, perhaps cause it's sounding more African. My official name is Kufo, without N'. My name in my passport is Kufo."
